Is there a non-complicated way to use my Nintendo Switch Pro Controller with my Wii U?

Not really. Its charming but combat starts bad and then stays bad but in increasing amounts.

You obviously didn't understand the combat.

It's good. It's a ccg essentially, and the combat layouts are essentially puzzles to solve "how do you beat all these events before they get a turn" so you lose less resources and gain more. Replacement cards are plentiful, and the game very quickly gives you multiple attacks, the lack of which was a problem in the previous one.

The action input in combat is also better than previous Mario RPGs because rather than either success or failure there are various degrees of success which are harder to get, so you can be the judge of whether "Great" will be good enough for you or if you really need that "Excellent" and are willing to risk screwing it up

Speaking relatively to other mario rpgs that were more varied and unique with their content

it is extremely lame that most of the npcs are generic toads but the dialogue is super good and there are still unique characters even though they don't have unique designs. the bridge enthusiast and the bridge enthusiast enthusiast melted my heart

I just want to take the opportunity to remind everybody that

Geno is a minor character from the 5th best Mario RPG game at best, who had no personality, no development, no character arc, and not a single interesting thing about him other than music from a forest he appears near.

Hopefully he does not appear in Smash Bros.

yeah I'd much rather have Mallow

It is, since even doing a turn requires you sorting through a pile of 100 cards then deciding how much paint to apply, then doing timed attacks. Combat takes forever and never feels particularly risky but remains clunky to actually do the entire time.

the music from Mallow's hometown and the volcano dungeon immediately following it are fresh as heck but people don't remember those tracks as well because they're from the last chunk of game rather than the first chunk

I never said it was hard, in fact for the amount of time a single attack setup takes its way too easy.

Gonna lay down some hard truths:

Most characters in Smash are Japanese cartoon-style video game characters

Therefore most characters in Smash are anime

I dunno, maybe. Make Pyra do the cool ninja poo poo she does in the first cutscene fight with malos and then never again.

You have a dash which is the hyper light, you do it a bunch you can drift with it, and you are a drifter who wears garish 90s hyper light colors.

Theres also a translateable backstory that like .0001% of players bother with and I dont know if the switch exclusive area has any lore.

Sakurai typically finalizes a development outline including final character roster at the start of development, so it's unlikely any XB2 characters would be playable. Development began on this before XB2.

Combat in Color Splash is a puzzle much like putting a round peg in a round hole is technically a puzzle
