[EB Games] Splatoon Savings Bundle. Buy Splatoon and get Wii U Pro Controller for $25

Pretty good deal especially if you need a pro controller. Original price is $50. Now half off with the purchase of Splatoon at full price ($70).
If you don't need the controller, SDM with 20x the points is the better deal.

Unfortunately, $70 is the new normal.

I have the old wii gamepads and I'm wondering if they will that work with this game? I can't seem to confirm this information anywhere. Thanks =)

Thats really funny because I think only player 2 can use that controller during gameplay.

For anyone wondering, you cannot use the Pro Controller when playing Singleplayer or Online. The Gamepad is needed to use the Super Jump ability or to look at the map ( which is quite important ). The only time you will be able to use it is in the Offline Versus mode if you play against someone else. Nice deal if you were planning on getting Splatoon already and wanted a Pro Controller.

It is amusing - I think they did something similar with the old ZombiU bundle where they included a pro controller even though it was only usable for the other player too.

I think there's potential for multiplayer online with 2 players.

You can always add a minimap to the 2nd player. Super jump, i'm sure there's a way you can do that as well but it won't be as "easy" as tapping the screen.

depends on whether nintendo wants to add this. They probably want people to get multiple wii u/gamepad

Nintendo is pretty much sending this game out to die at $70; exchange rate be damned.

Have you tried the local multiplayer? How is it? Was thinking about this as a light shooter to play with the Mrs. The color scheme reminds me of Sunset Blvd.

FYI - SDM is selling the game for $59 according to this week's ad. Good for price-matching with other stores like Walmart if your local SDM doesn't have it in stock.
