Splatoon Wii U Pro Controller Strapped to a Wii Remote
Who would have thought that this control input was an official method encouraged by Nintendo? Literally strapping a Wii remote to your Wii U Pro controller.
For some Splatoon players, myself included, motion controls are essential for aiming well in that game. This presents a problem when playing the first Splatoon on Wii U in local multiplayer: only one Gamepad can be used per system. Unlike the Switch’s pro controller, the Wii U’s controller didn’t have any motion control functionality built in. Nintendo’s solution: strap a Wii remote to the controller, allowing the game to detect the motion of the Wii remote while you use the buttons of the Pro controller. This actually works, go try it. No doubt, this led to massive fights over who got to use the Gamepad.
