Ok so what i did, i linked second controller to another xbxox account, updated both controllers, restarted the console. After xbox started I turned on only one controller, created a custom game. In custom game lobby I turned on a second controller. A popup aks If another player wants to join. Click yes.
This is definitely more compicated than NES. Took me about half-hour feverish googling, restarting and trying everything. Googling "use multiple controllers xbox series" gives results.
By the way maybe local multipayer without split screen with a fixed camera angle like in smash bros melee would be nice. If copying, copy everything! 🙂
Thanks.
