Turn off motion sensor on your Nintendo Switch
When it comes to your Nintendo switch, there is really no way to turn off the motion sensors and controls. But, most of the games that support motion sensors give you the option to turn it off. This means that you can’t actually turn off motion sensor settings system wise on your Nintendo console. Also, you will not be able to turn off motion sensor settings for all the games at once. Here’s what you can do. You can disable the motion sensor settings from the in-game settings menu while you are playing the game.
But, if you are still looking for a way to turn off motion sensor settings for all the games you play on your Switch, the best way to do that would be to play the games using a controller that doesn’t support motion sensors. With such a controller, you don’t have to particularly worry about disabling motion sensor settings.
Turning off motion control on your Nintendo
Now, this method varies from game to game. The most basic way to do it is as follows,
- Launch the game
- Once the game starts, look for the Settings menu
- Look for motion control options and disable it
Let’s take a sample game for example. Mario Golf Super Rush is a game that has motion control options in its settings
- Open the game
- Go to the options menu or the Settings menu
- Locate the motion control option under the Option menu
- If you are playing some other game, the options you find may be different. You might find options like Button Controls, Standard controls or there may be no option to turn motion controls off depending on the game.
- Turn it off
- Now, start a game mode that stoppers motion controls
- Click on button controls
- Now, the game will be launched with motion controls disabled
