<p>If you’ve ever dreamt of playing <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a></strong> with a DualShock 4, this might just be your lucky day. A new adapter is on the way which will allow Nintendo and Sony controllers to work with their rival systems.</p>
<p>Japanese company Columbus Circle is set to release a small device called the ‘Super Converter’ 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’s DualShock 4 controller for the PS4.</p>

<p>It will reportedly be possible to update the adapter’s firmware using a PC, and each controller’s button assignment settings can be completely customised.</p>
<p>We have actually seen something similar to this in the past, too. Console accessory maker 8BitDo released a <a class="external" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786JC6VW?m=A2UWVAXOHJ0A2X&&tag=nlife-20" rel="nofollow">wireless USB stick</a> which enabled a variety of controllers to be used with the Switch. It sounds like it should be impossible without a bit of sneaky tech wizardry, but it seems like you have plenty of options if you want to mess around.</p>
<p>We’re not sure anyone’s ever considered playing <strong>Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice</strong> with a Wii Remote, but it’s certainly a possibility.</p>
