How is it? As awkward as those controls were, they also feel like a core part of the game, so I'm feeling oddly both attracted and repulsed by the idea. But I'll look into it, thanks for making me aware if it! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) Oh wow, just looked it up and the description is even better because it was intended to give the games mouse look controls, which IMO is superior to even dual stick for fps. Like set up a mouse and keyboard for a console fps that supports it and it's like easy mode because you can aim much more quickly. Guessing you need to bring your own ROMs (I wonder if I can rip my GCN discs with a blueray reader). Though to clarify, is this for the GCN versions or one of the other ports/remasters? I've got 1 and 2 for GCN and 3 for Wii. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 point 8 months ago Ah so I might be able to do it with 3 just with what I have already but need a Wii and brawl, which is the one I'm missing from the three systems (have melee and the wii u one but not the wii smash bros lol).
