While the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 inches closer by the day, the Nintendo Today app has been providing useful updates on a few of the upcoming console’s new features. Today, the app revealed that hidden within the options menu is a feature that will help you find a lost Joy-Con should it get separated from the console.
As spotted by X user Stealth40K, by tapping the Controllers icon on the main menu, you can select “Search For Controllers” from the list. Once there, select which Joy-Con you’ve misplaced, and the device will vibrate and make a ringing sound until you’ve retrieved it.

Nintendo Today has provided numerous updates about the Nintendo Switch 2 since the Switch 2 Direct in early April, including more information on the customizable GL and GR buttons for the Switch 2’s Pro Controller, as well as the binoculars found around the map in Mario Kart World. The app’s first-ever announcement was the March 2027 release date for the upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie.
Nintendo’s next console will feature a robust launch lineup of games, including Mario Kart World, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, and updated Nintendo Switch 2 editions of both The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and Tears Of The Kingdom. The console will also see Nintendo GameCube games come to the Nintendo Switch Online service exclusively on Switch 2, with The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Soul Calibur 2 among the first games to be playable.
Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in North America on June 5.
