Announcing Joy-Con support!


You might have been noticing the red Wii Remote in Error Ware 2’s logo. The Error Ware series has been compatible with that little love stick since the first game released in 2012.

When Development of Error Ware 2 began shortly after, the Nintendo WiiU had just been released and continued to support Wii Remotes, so I figured people still had them and added the good old motion controls to EW2 as well.

But now the game has been in development for so long, Nintendo released a whole new console in the meantime: the Nintendo Switch! Oh snap!

Since the WiiU did not sell that well many people sold their Wii or WiiU a long time ago, working Wii Remotes are getting rare in peoples’s homes, so why release a game with Wii Remote support in 201X? Switch is the hot stuff now, damnit!

Don’t get me wrong,

EW2 will still fully support a single Wii Remote with motion controls, but I’m adding Joy-Con support, too!

Unfortunately, I can’t use all their features right now, but I’ve got them working as normal controllers. We’ll see how much motion control I can get out of them!

The Wii Remote is still the best way to get the most out of Error Ware 2 in my experience, but I’ll make sure the game’s fun regardless of your input method of choice (and there are a lot of them!).

In my current build, you can play the game with

  • keyboard + mouse

  • one gamepad (Xbox, Playstation & WiiU / Switch Pro Controller Layout supported)

  • single Joy-Con Left + Right

since the gameplay is mostly in a “hot seat” style, players can share a controller, but you can also mix them as you like.

Abstráctomon Screenshot (+GIFs! )Update July 29, 2020

You might get a wet surprise while digging with the shovel! These fountains while lift you up if you stand / swim over them. Here it will take you onto an otherwise inaccessible ledge. Neat!

A new invention lets you create shinies?!

Photographed Abstráctomon now cast shadows!

The first Abstráctomon of your team can now follow you around! I'm currently working on this little feature. In screenshot 2 and 3 you can see a new variant of tall grass for beaches.

These fluffy snow monkeys are Abstráctomon No. 97 & 98 [ENG] Chillchim / [FR] Makrouler / [GER] Makuller and Lenzo.

They're Ice/Grass types. They love snow, but no signs of snow in my area yet. Maybe in February?

May I introduce you to the Rich family (from left to right): Gunther Rich (your rival), his dad Prof. Albert Rich and his mom Mary Rich!

You can now let one of your Abstráctomon follow you around (still a little buggy). They can swim, too.

The game now shows a small screenshot with the time, date and the name of the location you saved in when saving or loading a save file.
