Ring Fit Adventure operating instructions

1. Left Switch joy con grip: After pairing with the console, the operation is the same as the official joy con controller;
2. Right Switch joy con grip: Plug the right Switch joy con grip into the ring-con and press and hold the “Home” button for 1 second to enter the “Multitask Mode”. Short press “R3” key to exit “Multitask Mode”.

Built-in NFC card data

1. The joy con controller comes with NFC card data, a total of 500 card data for 12 games. Different games can be switched by the combination of buttons “+” and “Home”. When the switch is successful, the corresponding LED indicator flashes for 5 seconds and then keeps on. The corresponding LED indicator will also light up when reading and writing card data in the game.
2. Open the read and write amiibo interface in the game, (different games have different ways to read amiibo), and then press and hold the “R3” button of the controller to send the amiibo data. After reading the first amiibo data, the controller will automatically switch to the next amiibo data. When the controller is turned off, the currently read amiibo position will be saved, and the next time it will be read, it will start to read from the saved position (once the game is switched, it will be read from the first card of the current game).
3. Because the two games “Splatoon 2” and “Super Smash Bros” need to write/change amiibo data when using amiibo, we need to switch amiibo manually. Press the “Home” and “R3” buttons at the same time, and the amiibo position light will stay on for 1 second to indicate a successful switch.
4. In the “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” game, press and hold the “B” and “L1” keys to get “Wolf”.
