Playing multiplayer is why most of us come back to the Gamecube time and time again. Mario Kart Double Dash!!, Kirby Air Ride, Metroid Prime 2’s weird inclusion of multiplayer and then all those Wii titles you love. Who doesn’t want a game of Wii Sports, but in 4K?
The way to do this is really simple. Plug in your designated device and head into the controller settings. From here, choose port 2 and put either Standard Controller or whatever else you intend to use.
If it is 4 players, you’ll just want to do the same for ports 3 and 4 too.
For the Wii, you’ll want to configure either your real Wii Remotes or whether you’re going to be ‘emulating’ one with another controller. By pressing configure, you can assign the buttons to a more traditional controller in the process.
