All Available Methods


Select Single Console in Quick Battle

Step 1 Select Quick Battle
Step 2 Go to Single Console
Step 3 Choose the 8 Players option
Step 4 Connect the controllers and start the game

Enter the Quick Battle menu screen and find the Single Console. From there, move the cursor to the Single Console and press right until you find the 8 Players option. Press A to confirm, pair the controllers to the device, and start the game!

Connect 4 Switch Devices using Online Battle with Friends

Step 1 Select Quick Battle
Step 2 Go to Online Play
Step 3 Select Battle Friends
Step 4 Choose the 2 Players option
Step 5 Connect the controllers
Step 6 Connect the switch devices and start the match

Prepare 4 switch devices and 8 controllers, and make sure everyone is connected to a stable internet connection. Start pairing the controllers from the Battle Friends option in Online Play. Get the switch devices and begin the connection. You can start the game immediately after that!

Note that all switch devices must have a Nintendo Switch Online Membership to access online features.

Connect 4 Switch Devices using Local Wireless

Step 1 Select Quick Battle
Step 2 Go to Local Wireless
Step 3 Choose the 2 Players option
Step 4 Connect the controllers
Step 5 Connect the switch devices and start the match

Unlike Online Battle with friends, this option is free and won't require a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to access it. It's a good alternative if one of the switch devices doesn't have Online Membership!
