The Wii U Pro Controller.

The Wii U Pro Controller is a controller of the Wii U that can only be used in the Battle Dojo mode in Splatoon.

Description

The Wii U Pro Controller is an optional accessory for the Wii U that serves as an alternative to the Wii U GamePad. It replaces the Wii Classic Controller Pro, and was replaced by the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. It has the same overall button layout as the Wii U GamePad, in a more traditional controller layout, however it lacks motion control sensors, camera, NFC Pad, headphone jack and touchscreen.

Battle Dojo

In the Battle Dojo, one player can use the Wii U Pro Controller to play on the TV, to pop as many balloons as they can, against their opponent, using the Wii U GamePad. This is the only functionality available for this controller in Splatoon.

Features

  • Left Stick: Primarily used to move the player's Inkling forward, backward, left, and right.
  • Right Stick: Used for menus, such as the weapon select and pause screen.
  • ZL: Allows players to transform into squids. In this form, Inklings are able to move faster through their own ink and jump farther.
  • ZR: Allows players to splatter ink using their weapon.
  • R: Allows players to use their sub weapon.
  • X: Causes the player's Inkling to jump.
  • Y: Resets the camera angle, allowing for quick corrections.
  • A: Used in menus to select specific actions and options.
  • B: Used to deselect a chosen weapon in the weapon select screen.
  • D-Pad: Can be used in Battle Dojo menus like the Left Stick stick.
  • Plus: Used to pause and resume in in a Battle Dojo match, and adjust the controls on the weapon select screen.

Trivia

Pro Controller + Wii Remote Combo
  • Multiple Pro Controllers and a Wii U GamePad can be seen inside the Battle Dojo hanging on the wall. There are three white controllers,a black controller and a white GamePad on the left side and two black controllers on the right side.
  • Battle Dojo matches can also be played with a combination of Wii U Pro Controller and a Wii Remote Plus or Wii Remote with a Wii MotionPlus accessory, which was hinted at in the 26th Sunken Scroll. (pictured below) This allows the player using the Wii U Pro controller to have motion controls. To perform this, the player must hold down on the D-Pad, hold down B, and press ZL and ZR as described on the Splatoon Tumblr, Live from Squid Research Lab.
