Playing on a PC or TV with a smartphone (like Nintendo Switch)
If you like the idea of Nintendo Wii first and Nintendo Switch later, that of playing on the TV screen using a portable and wireless controller, you will surely like the solution described in this article, which makes it possible to use the smartphone as a portable controller and wifi for games visible on the PC.
The game, therefore, is performed on the computer and is visible on the monitor (or as we will see on TV), while those who play can also stay away because he just needs to hold his phone, which becomes a joypad.
The Web application allows you to synchronize any smartphone with a computer, turning the device into a portable controller, similar to that of the Nintendo Switch.
The nice thing is that you can also play with friends, each with his smartphone in hand, all sitting on the couch or even standing in front of the TV.
The PC games that can be controlled from the smartphone are provided by the innovative Airconsole.com website.
on the Airconsole website, you only have to press the Start button and then follow the on-screen instructions that simply require you to open the phone browser on the Ariconsole website and enter the displayed code.
Once the code is entered, the pairing is done and on the phone screen, the virtual buttons of a joypad will appear to control the interface of the site as if it were the controller of a Nintendo console.
To have a smoother and cleaner connection, download and install the Airconsole application on your smartphone, free for Android and iPhone.
To get quick access to the games site you can install the Airconsole application for Chrome on PC.
Once the pairing is done, you can choose the game from those available, selecting it with the phone controls (the PC mouse no longer has an effect on the Airconsole website once the connection is made)
In the list, you will also find the minimum and maximum number of players for each game, because if everyone can be played alone, many of them are made to be played in a group with friends.
For example, there are those of riddles and trivial, there is the race machines, tennis and then the turn-based war, some puzzle games and many others just to try.
New players can be added to the game by pressing the Add more phones button at the top of the Airconsole website.
If you add it, you will have to type the code on your phone, using the application or by connecting to the Airconsole site.
As mentioned above, you can also view the Airconsole website on TVand then play on the TV screen if this has the Chromecast (see here which Chromecast to buy ).
For each game of Airconsole, you can then press the Cast to TV button at the top right.
