By As the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 approaches rapidly, the Nintendo Today app has been sharing valuable insights regarding some of the new features of this forthcoming console. Today, the app announced a hidden option within the settings that can assist you in locating a misplaced Joy-Con if it gets disconnected from the console.
Noticed by X user Stealth40K, by tapping the Controllers icon on the main interface, you can choose “Search For Controllers” from the menu. After that, select the specific Joy-Con you have lost, and the device will vibrate and emit a ringing noise until you retrieve it.
