I guess, technically, yeah. Although I don't have a Pro Controller so I'm not completely sure.

Now we just need to wait until a game takes advantage of this.

Might as well go wifi with it.

8 fighters and one Stage Master*? :P

*One that controls the stage and everything in it?
Holy crap. Insanity would ensue.

Truthfully, I hope the WiiU pro controllers have the same "clacking" noises that the GameCube controllers did. Nothing screams Smash Bros more that those button mashing noises the GC controller made.

Isn't their four controller ports other then the gamepad? And regardless if its a wiimote or pro it will take up one of the four available ports. If not its not like there are plugs so why not sync a hundred wiimotes

If you could do 4 gamepads + 4 controllers (either Pro or remotes) it'd be a pretty neat feature for like a FPS (8 person local multiplayer, 4 playing on gamepad screens and 4 on the main screen).

But hey, you can't always get what you want.

Ninty promised 2 gamepads at a time, so It should go 4 remotes, 4 pros, 2 pads - 10 players. But I don't think it's possible, as WiiU pad pro (what is it's name?) is just a CCP stuck in one shell with a wii remote, so they would take the same "Bluetooth slots". I don't have a WiiU tho, so I can't be sure.

Absolute nonsense. Wii U owners don't have that many friends.

Wii U Pro Controllers take up the same slots as Wii Remotes. And there are only 4 Wii Remote slots.

Bomberman Blast used the Gamecube ports in conjunction with the Wii Remotes, and we know those are gone.

In other words, there is no way to get more than 5 players on a single Wii U. This may extend to 6 with a second GamePad, but until then it'll only be 5.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
