It's completely optional, it's not like you NEED 2 Wii U's to enjoy local multiplayer.
>>25593765
I can't. The local set up is horribly awkward. Though honestly I don't know how could they've done it better. The game basically requires each player to have their own separate screen.
I can't, luckily I won't be playing local multiplayer anyways because I am a scrub who actually plays fighters for the single player
Nobody plays local multiplayer anymore. Good thing Nintendo the pushing online play more.

>need two consoles to locally play a fighting game at 60 FPS
Literally cruel.

Now that I think about it, I actually feel Pokken might be one of the few games that would have worked better if it was a handheld franchise to begin with. Since each player would have their own system there would be no issues with camera movement and the console cutting the framerate in half due to having to render both screens at once.

blame it on the on the Wii U being shit

Smash can run 8 players at 60 FPS. On the same TV. On the same Wii U.
>LAN cable
is the only real option. Then again, I'm not defending it. I just don't buy t

Pokken looks better though

Blame it on japanese arcades - Pokken was an arcade game first, and in general fighting game cabinets in Japan have 2 screens - one for each player - as opposed to two controllers on the same screen. They designed the game with that in mind so rendering two screens on one console wasn't a priority.
>>25594131
Smash's gameplay is no where near as complex's as Pokken's.
>>25595855
You see that controller?
It was obvious from the start that a console release was intended down the line.
>>25595889
that really doesn't mean anything, street fighter, house of the dead, afterburner and sega rally all have completely different controllers and still are on consoles
>>25595877
Dubs confirmed.

Arcade controller looks like a Wii classic controller
>Doesn't mean anything!
>These unrelated games have different controllers from their console versions, I mention these for no reason!

I heard it was actually because it needed to match the frame rate on the gamepad. They really wanted to preserve the "camera angle from the back" for both players. That why if you're going to play local multiplayer, one of you will have to use the gamepad as a recommended screen
