To set players controller
- Navigate to options, then controller config.
- Select the player whose controllers you want set using shoot button.
- Activate wanted controller by using its shoot button.
Note that you don't need 4 wiimotes for 4 players. As an example 2 wiimotes and 2 classic controllers is enough if you set controllers as instructed above. Adding players is done in options menu and players will use wiimote as a default controller.
You can use any of the following (and in any combination):
- 4 Wiimotes (Horizontal use)
- 4 Nunchuks
- 4 Classic Controllers
- 4 GameCube controllers
- GH3 Controller (Planned)
- Wii Balance Board (Planned)
Disclaimer
I wish I didn't have to say this, but I have tested the game extensively during it's development and even though I believe I have removed all chances of a bug, it may still be possible either due to, or not due to any fault of my own that the game may crash, and in some rare instance, brick your Wii. That is why, although I'd like for you to try this game, you must accept if anything does happen to your Wii as a direct result of running this game that I, the author, can claim no liabilty. Keep this in mind whilst you try MAsteroids.
