How to connect 6 players to Switch?

To connect 6 players to a Switch, you need multiple controllers (Joy-Cons, Pro Controllers) and must pair them individually through the HOME Menu's "Controllers" section, not just the "Change Grip/Order" screen, especially for players beyond the first four, as you connect the extra controllers by pressing the sync button directly on the console's main controller screen. Not all games support 6 players on one console; check your game, as many limit local play to 4, but titles like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Super Bomberman R allow more players if you have enough controllers, sometimes requiring individual Joy-Cons.
