A new adapter is on the way which will allow Nintendo and Sony controllers to work with their rival systems.<\/p>\n<p>Japanese company Columbus Circle is set to release a small device called the &#8216;Super Converter&#8217; which can convert the wireless signals coming from your controllers. As you can see in the images below, this means that a PS4 can be used with Joy-Con, a Switch Pro Controller, and even older Nintendo controllers such as Wii Remotes, while your Switch can be used with Sony&#8217;s DualShock 4 controller for the PS4.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"Converter\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5e70f5fbe6f9c\/converter.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/5e70f5fbe6f9c\/converter.original.png\" alt=\"Converter\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Ps4\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/33c2bb868fb19\/ps4.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/33c2bb868fb19\/ps4.original.jpg\" alt=\"Ps4\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Switch\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b16358e937ada\/switch.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/b16358e937ada\/switch.original.jpg\" alt=\"Switch\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It will reportedly be possible to update the adapter&#8217;s firmware using a PC, and each controller&#8217;s button assignment settings can be completely customised.<\/p>\n<p>We have actually seen something similar to this in the past, too.
