Nintendo has revealed just how much the gyro controls have impacted the Splatoon experience, with a majority of players using them.
One of the unique aspects of the popular Wii U shooter is the implementation of optional motion controls within the GamePad controller. Nintendo's Tsubasa Sakaguchi, co-director for Splatoon, told Eurogamer in an interview this week that the team "were slightly concerned about whether users might feel the gyro controls were a little bit difficult."
However, he likens the setup to that of a bicycle, where "once you've learnt that the bicycle becomes one with your body and it opens the whole world to you."
He also revealed how around 70-80 percent of players are using the gyro controls, and how Nintendo feel that this setup is "the best way to play Splatoon, he reason being there are two main movements you need for a shooter. One is moving the body, the other is aiming where you're shooting."
Do you use standard or gyro controls in Splatoon?
