iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Apple TV support Nintendo Switch Online dedicated controllers



For Nintendo

Switch Online subscribers, a paid online service for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo sells controllers dedicated to Nintendo Switch Online that have been revived as wireless controllers for 'Family Computer', 'Super Nintendo' and 'NINTENDO 64'. I'm here. It has become clear that these controllers can now be used on Apple devices such as Macs and iPhones.

The controller dedicated to Nintendo Switch Online is an evolution of the nostalgic controller of game consoles such as 'Family Computer', 'Super Nintendo' and 'NINTENDO 64' into a wireless controller that can be used with Nintendo Switch as it is. One of these, the Super Nintendo Controller, is also reviewed by GIGAZINE, and you can see what it looks like by looking at the following article.

macOS Ventura , iOS 16.1 , iPadOS 16.1 , and tvOS 16.1 , which Apple started delivering on October 24, 2022, have quietly added support for Nintendo Switch Online controllers. Steve Troughton-Smith , the developer who discovered this, tweeted that he succeeded in operating the Super Nintendo controller on the iPhone and Apple TV, and in the tweet, he photographed the Apple TV operating with the Super Nintendo controller. A video is attached.




Apple-related media MacStories reports that they have successfully used the NINTENDO 64 controller on the iPad.



In the release notes for macOS Ventura, Apple notes, 'Many Bluetooth and USB game controllers are supported by the game controller framework starting with macOS 13, iOS 16, and tvOS 16.' It seems that an Online dedicated controller was included.



The overseas media The Verge seems to have contacted Apple for confirmation, but no response has been obtained at the time of writing the article.
