Adding motion controls to a second player in Splatoon’s Battle Dojo mode is a cinch – according to Nintendo’s official Squid Research Lab Tumblr page. All you need is some ingenuity, determination, and a bunch of string. These are the instructions, straight from Nintendo:
“On the controller selection screen for Battle Dojo, press and hold down on the +Control Pad, press and hold B, and then press ZR and ZL.
It seems a Wii Remote Plus is necessary to perform this incredible feat. This technique also appears to be possible when using a Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro! When using a Wii U Pro Controller, first press ZL and ZR to select that as your controller, and then press the 2 Button on the Wii Remote Plus to activate it.”
Battle Dojo is Splatoon’s 1v1 local multiplayer mode, in which players race to score points points by popping balloons in an arena. Each balloon is worth one point and the first to 30 points wins the match. While the first player uses the Wii U Gamepad, the second player has a trio of controller options, including the Wii U Pro Controller, Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro.
Though the above image is slightly strange, we still wonder who had the initial inkling in the first place. So, really, how you decide to wrap the Wii Remote onto your Wii U Pro Controller is up to you. Perhaps it’s a stable enough option, but is it worth the extra effort? Let us know in the comment section below.
They have to sell the GamePad now or make a new version of the Pro Controller.
Ha! Thats awesome.
That’s…..kind of ridiculous. And here I thought Nintendo couldn’t go any further with gimmicky bullshit controller options.
U don’t have to do it
Obviously. But the fact that they actually allow you to do shows they still need to learn to prioritize instead of implementing stupid control schemes.
its not a big deal, its just kinda interesting
Meh. bullshit.
Utter shit
Eh… I feel more comfortable with the motion controls turned off anyway.
I gotta do a video of this 2moro for the laugh :P
I love how the person in the demonstration has the wrist strap on, even though they’re just using it with a normal controller.
You must ALWAYS use the wrist strap…and Allow adequate room around during gamplay. Do you even wii, brah?
Motion controls are way more accurate than analog sticks this is a fucking fact people.
That’s retarded, why not just have a much simplier setup?
I thought this was a joke when I saw it on Twitter this morning.
50% stupid. 50% genius. 100% Nintendo.
Your right. Leave it to Nintendo to think up something crazy like this.
NX controller should have a wii mote like sensor on the top like a ps4 controller.
No the next controller is a kinect sensor attached to your penis.
…
why???
It is not that crazy. Nyko did it YEARS ago. I have one. May give it a shot tonight.

Eh. I like the fight pad better.
“They didn’t make me buy a $50 peripheral to pay this game, therefor it’s garbage”.
internal gyro from wii controller + wiiu pro controller = motion control + 2 analog thumbsticks. the pro controller doesn’t have an internal gyro, that’s why you need the wiimote. this is actually kind of clever, and easy to do yourself if you want to play on a even field with a friend 1v1 – which, you may recall, is actually an ancillary mode of the game and by no means the primary draw.
you guys are working hard to complain about stuff at this point.
Lol no nintendrone, we aren’t working hard to complain. It is in fact quite easy to say this is stupid because it is inherent in the idea: TYING TWO CONTROLLERS TOGETHER TO MAKE UP FOR THEIR LACK OF FEATURES. It is quite the contrary, y’all are going to great lengths to defend this bs. Silly silly nintendrones, gobbling up anything Nintendo says or does.
im playing splatoon right now, im in story mode. if you get the secret page in level 26 you see a wii mote strapped to a pro controller lol
