For many of us in the gaming community, every detail matters. We invest in accessories and consoles with the expectation that they will work seamlessly and flexibly across systems. However, as it currently stands, the Nintendo Switch Pro 1 controller does not have the capability to wake up the Nintendo Switch 2 when the home button is pressed. This feature is only available with the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, and it poses an inconvenience.

Though it may seem like a minor technicality, for those of us who have poured countless hours and dollars into the gaming ecosystem, having to switch controllers just to perform a simple command feels cumbersome and avoidable. Having a consistent experience across the board is crucial not only for our enjoyment but also for the trust and loyalty we have in Nintendo’s brand. Gamers are committed to supporting companies that, in turn, support us by acknowledging our needs and improving user experiences.

We believe that a simple software update can remedy this shortfall. By enabling the Switch Pro 1 controller to wake the Nintendo Switch 2 with a press of the home button, Nintendo can reaffirm its dedication to all of its users, showing that it values our commitment and investment in its products.

We urge Nintendo to consider the loyalty and dedication of its community by providing this update. Such an action would not only enhance the user experience but also strengthen bonds with longtime fans who have supported Nintendo through various console generations. Please, Nintendo, show that you hear the voices of your community and implement this meaningful update.

Sign this petition to let Nintendo know that we, the gaming community, seek their continuous support by enhancing our gaming experience. Let's ensure our voice is heard and make gaming better for all.
