Wish we could operate the Wii U's main menu with the gamepad when it's displayed on the TV. The Miiverse plaza is a little annoying with how hard they're constantly pushing a service that doesn't work.

Makes me want to get a Pro Controller.

@IceWolf you can navigate it with a Wiimote pointer!

@noiob I saw that! *wag* Can't play Zelda with that though...

could always just then put the Wiimote aside I guess.

@IceWolf @noiob tbf you’re kinda expected to have a Wii Remote with a Wii U

@FayneAldan @noiob Oh huh! I had no clue. Good thing we do have one then.

@IceWolf @noiob Yep. You only get one Wii U Gamepad so any multiplayer games you play will require Wii Remotes. Unless you’re playing Splatoon 1 in local multiplayer. The Pro Controller has no motion controls. See image. :D

@FayneAldan @noiob Wait so most multiplayer games require motion controls?

@IceWolf @FayneAldan Splatoon 2 couch mp doesn't require motion controls, it just feels way better with motion aim, so the picture above shows a hidden option to get that back. There isn't even UI for it, you have to hold down buttons while launching the game mode to activate it

@FayneAldan @IceWolf oh absolutely, did you know they referenced it in Sploon 2?

Follow

@FayneAldan @IceWolf oh nvm it was in 1 already (hidden for spoiler and also there's a cartoon skeleton)
