This was to be expected, I doubted that gyro would've been the only way to play.

Great! Using only gyro would have been awful, most likely!

Good, would of be annoying if it was mandatory.

I thought everyone knew this.
Splatoon does not require either.

Nope, people all over the threads were writting articles on how it will flop because of this

The games on Wii U tend to have more control options than most other games, it would seem obvious the gyro wouldn't be the only opion, but some people look for any reason to rain on Nintendo's parade. 

Ugh I just want SOME on land battles and I will be sold on this game.

If you read more on the link I showed it says with a press of a button you will be able to switch from the awring to the land master

Where's Curl at? He needs to see this

I honestly thought I would be getting a secondary current gen system in addition to the ps4 and that it would be the xone, but Nintendo is proving to be more and more desirable... I will definately be getting a Wii U before I get a xone at this point
