Japan-based Far East Pinball has created a clever Nintendo Switch accessory that basically turns the device into a miniature pinball cabinet while using TATE (vertical) mode for a variety of pinball games. It’s powered by a USB cable, and once you set the Nintendo Switch up without the Joy-Cons connected, simply plug in a connector cable into the console’s Type-C port.
It supports many popular titles, like Star Wars Pinball, Stern Pinball Arcade, Touchdown Pinball, Safari Pinball, Star Wars Pinball and many others. The one requirement is that you make sure the game has a TATE mode so the gameplay can be rotated sideways.
