Not fully capable, I believe it lacks some buttons ? Like the second joystick. But, if the game is designed with this in mind, then the joycons are more than functional!

- EpicEng 9y agoThey are fully capable and no buttons are missing. Do you have a counter example? Do you even own one?
- Avenger42 9y agoYou can't use a single Joycon to play Breath of the Wild, for example (at least not as well as with the full controller). You need the second joystick to move the camera, all four of the right buttons and left buttons are assigned to different controls, the plus and minus buttons are different pause menus, and there's a use for the left and right triggers as well, which aren't accessible in single-Joycon mode. Yes, it's great for Mario Kart (before I got the Pro controller, my wife and I were playing with one Joycon each), and similar games (I assume ARMS and 1-2 Switch are built with single-Joycon use in mind) but it's not enough for every single game.
- EpicEng 9y agoI see what you're saying: >The fact that a single controller breaks up into 2 fully capable controllers still surprises me to this day. Right, each controller on their own is not fully capable. That said, I think it's an impractical goal (really; how would you play a game like BotW with one hand? Impossible.) and I'm not sure the Gparent meant it that way.
- baby 9y agoYou can't play Lego or minecraft with these, you need two pair of joy cons.
- EpicEng 9y agoTwo pairs? You don't need two pairs, you need one pair. Looking back though, I either misunderstood the OP or the parent is correct. One joycon is obviously not fully function on its own, I never meant to say that.
- readams 9y agoBanach-Tarski for controllers. I guess the axiom of choice applies in Nintendo world.
