As far as we're aware from the demo, the select, start, and left and right D-Pad buttons are not in use. On the map have an easily visible "+" "-" and d-pad symbol appear next to corresponding teammates, push said button, super jump to them.It comes down to that there's no way you could use the map/superjump the same as gamepad using other controllers. You guys say onscreen map, but how would you select the player to hop to? Menu? then it becomes a worse option than gamepad, right? I can see the logic behind gamepad only from a design persepective.
I guess if your gamepad is broken that's too bad, but like...it is the main Wii U controller :x
It's not that hard to think of a workaround, I'm just surprised they didn't.
