Nintendo Switch Controls for 007 First Light

Hey there! So you've picked up 007 First Light on the Nintendo Switch and are wondering about the best way to control Bond? Don't worry, it's not too complicated once you get the hang of it. The game offers a few different control styles, and while you can't fully customize them, there are eight preset options that should cover most playstyles. Think of them like Bond's different gadgets – each one has its own strengths!

These styles change what each button and stick does, so it's worth experimenting to find what feels most natural to you. We'll go through the main ones here, focusing on how they work on the Nintendo Switch.
