In ''[[Ultimate]]'', they can be used in one of three ways.


They can be used vertically, with two controllers acting as one, which has a total of two analog sticks and 16 buttons. Generally, when playing in this configuration, the Joy-Con grip is used, which allows the controllers to function almost exactly like a traditional controller.
They can be used vertically, with two controllers acting as one, which has a total of two analog sticks and 18 buttons (four directional buttons, A, B, X, Y, L, R, ZL, ZR, plus, minus, screenshot, home, SL and SR). Generally, when playing in this configuration, the Joy-Con grip is used, which allows the controllers to function almost exactly like a traditional controller, although SL and SR are never used in horizontal mode.


They can also be used sideways, with one Joy-Con per person. This allows for more players to play (which is required for 8 player matches as a Joy-Con pair counts as two controllers while a Nintendo Switch supports up to 8 connected at once) but limits the number of buttons available to the player, which generally disfavors this kind of play. In this configuration, 11 buttons and one analog stick are available for use (although L and ZL or R and ZR are rarely used in horizontal mode)

Finally, they can be used with both Joy-Cons attached to the console in portable mode, which offers a very similar play style to playing vertically.
