The versatile Nintendo Joy-Con Controllers offer multiple ways for players to have fun. Two Joy-Con units can be used independently in each hand or together in a more traditional style when attached to the Joy-Con Grip. They can also attach to the main console for use in handheld mode, or be shared with friends to enjoy two-player action in supported games. Each Joy-Con has a full set of buttons and can act as a standalone controller, and each includes an accelerometer and gyro-sensor, making independent left and right motion control possible.
