What about using the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller with Dolphin via Bluetooth SDL?

My prediction: transcending humanity

u/ell1sK936 :35: 2d ago

dude how many controllers am i supposed to add on a second galaxy brain list (yes im making another one lol)

1

u/Careless-Sweet9639 :35: 2d ago

all of them 😏 in all srs i love using ALL my controllers, run gamecube games with my brother, NES games with my dad, and SNES with my mom. Only the N64 games I'm left to play by myself since im the only one from my fam that plays games from that generation, plus it also requires a n64 to gc adapter to work on the wii which is more of a setup than the other controllers (either plug directly into the wii's gc port or plug into the nunchunk port of the wii remote)

u/ell1sK936 :35: 2d ago

i made another galaxy brain list for later i did it like an hour ago and it has like 13 brains i think? i did research for weirdest remotes possible so yh

u/Famous_Ad_4258 3d ago

nunchuck is the best controller there is

u/surfinsalsa :33: 3d ago

I use my custom phob that was intended for melee. Works like a charm

u/Logical_Anxiety9475 :37: 3d ago

Arrow Keys: the big explosion

u/RileyDream :35: 3d ago

here at my abode, we can even do some of the super short cuts with wii remote motion controls. Only correct way to play the game

1

u/ell1sK936 :35: 2d ago

same i can do the grumble volcano ultra as well and the cut in dk snowboard cross

1

u/RileyDream :35: 2d ago edited 2d ago

we do those, rainbow road, mushroom gorge, and occasionally toads factory and goldmine if we get lucky. double on dk summit is difficult on motion so we usually just do single, but sometimes we pull it off

u/Upper-Pangolin-4022 :38: 2d ago

That's him officer, he didn't use the wii remote wrist wriststrap

u/Bruh61502 3d ago

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand why people would use nunchuck over classic/GameCube controller?

6

u/ell1sK936 :35: 3d ago

a lot of people find it more comfy to wheelie but gamecube controller and classic is more meta, i tried every controller but classic in this game and injured my left thumb using a gamecube controller because of the uncomfy wheelie controls

u/Mercurius94 :32: 3d ago

Wii Remote + nunchuck isn't perfect but it's a totally legit way to play the game.
Solo Wiimote is, while fun, a terrible way to play the game unless you like the challenge.

2

u/ell1sK936 :35: 3d ago

yeah currently im on a mission to use solo wiimote and 3 star rank on every cup and engine class and i can only use funky kong once and crap i used my only chance at funky kong in mirror mode flower cup when i couldve used that for star/special and now its hard lol

2

u/ell1sK936 :35: 3d ago

wiimote is hard but not totally rubbish i have 1:14 on luigi circuit time trials

5

u/Substantial_Bass_697 :35: 3d ago

As a kid I would because I didn’t have either of those. It doesn’t matter now because I got pretty good with the Wii Wheel and Dolphin lets me use whatever controller I want. But I think it’s primarily an accessibility thing. More options is rarely a bad thing.

1

u/gobble_deez_nutz :38: 3d ago

I always played with a nunchuck as a kid but just because thats all I had

u/Omicra98 Nunchuck 3d ago

Perfect wheelies with a button have a 1 frame input. With motion you get 3 frames.

Technically the best controller is wii wheel since it can reach directional inputs of a unit square rather than every other input of a unit circle while also having the benefits of the 3f wheelie. The unwieldyness of wheel makes it unfavourable, so nunchuck is used.

Nunchuck also comes with the console, you have to buy other controllers

u/gaellazer 3d ago

im a nunchuck player also waiting for WiiComp RR to work with WiiMote nunchuck in the future

u/ell1sK936 :35: 2d ago

u/ViridianStar2277 :30: 1d ago

Meanwhile I play with an Xbox Series X controller on Dolphin Emulator. Could also use a Switch or Switch 2 controller, but the lack of analog triggers is a bit of a turn-off for me.

u/sevensdre :36: 1d ago

I use an Xbox controller because I'm weird like that
