# MultiDRCSpaceDemo

A space shooter demo using the Wii U's MultiDRC mode.  

The Wii U has an unused feature allowing two GamePads to be connected to a single console.  

Nintendo [announced this back at the E3 2012](https://www.polygon.com/gaming/2012/6/5/3065588/wii-u-supports-two-gamepads-nintendo-confirms) before the Wii U was released.  

While this feature was never released it is still in the system files and can be used by homebrew applications.  

This project acts as a small demo and example for using that MultiDRC mode.
