fun fact: Splatoon 1 supports gyro aim for the 2nd player in local multiplayer despite the pro controller not having a gyro by strapping a fucking wiimote to the controller
@luna huh?? there's no way this is true right..?
@luna I thought the pro controller had gyro? At least I kinda remember navigating stuff this way?
@MiaWinter switch yes, wii u no

@luna ohhh that's wii u

I forgot about that abomination

@luna @MiaWinter HEY, don’t call it that!! The Wii U is WAY better than the switch!

@luana @luna I meant the wii u pro controller

but nothing is better than the switch, the best about the Wii u for me is that it can play wii games

@MiaWinter @luana Splatoon is nice, and on the Wii u (or more precisely, usually cemu) I can play without a subscription with pretendo
@luna no. just no. i refuse to believe this is actually a thing.
@graphite it is! I just tried it myself earlier today :3

@luna did they expect you to bring your own shoelace, or was there an official Pro Controller Wiimote Shoelace Peripheralℒ️?
@eclairwolf @luna I think there was an official strap that would come with it, but I don't remember.
@luna Ah yes, the Nintendo Shibari.
@luna oh my god i remember this
@luna I hope uncle Derrick tries it.
@luna i literally got splatoon the day it came out on my way to a friend's house and we were like "ok this has to have local multiplayer, it's nintendo" and when we found out about this we were like ????? lmaoo
@luna one must do what one must to use the superior aiming method
@luna honestly this is perfectly on brand for nintendo
Live from Squid Research Lab

One of our scientists has made a rather stunning discovery! From early reports, it appears to be a means of adding motion control to the controller of the player playing on the TV screen in Battle...

@luna Youre telling me overpriced nintendo controllers dont have a gyro?
@nyovaya on the switch all controllers have a gyro, but yeah the wii u pro controller doesn't have a gyro for some stupid reason
@luna Oh I thought the switch controller also doesnt have it πŸ˜…
@luna I love that even that still has them wearing the strap
@KayOhtie that's how you know it's an official photo from nintendo

@luna That's not a joke, you can actually do that? Because we have a pro controller and a wiimote!

(though our pro controller doesn't work unless it's plugged in even with a replacement battery, we should never have bought "seller refurbished")

@IceWolf yep, it's real (although be aware that it has to either be a wiimote with built in motion plus or have a motion plus adapter, regular wiimotes don't work)

@luna Oh GOOD to know! Our normal Wiimote doesn't have motionplus, though we have a motionplus adapter... somewhere.

But we also bought a black Wiimote with motionplus specifically for Wii U use because we were tied of re-pairing all the time, so we're covered!

@luna is this yuri? /silly
