Man, you media guys really have nothing more to do than stir up flame-wars with your headlines. Btw Wii U = Failure!
Man, these headlines stir up flame wars by... stating.... facts? I don't understand.
If that headline stirs up flame wars (that wouldn't have started on their own), then how would you word it? "Hey guys, don't be mad, we love you, but the Wii U gamepad isn't coming out until things support it. Chill bros, I'm sure it will happen". Gotta tell you, not that catchy.
But I'm glad a console that isn't even out yet is a failure <3

@amtaix
how about you just don't?
it amazes me how fast people can break things.
80% of all smartphones i've seen where broken in some way.
can someone explain me exactly how you do that?
when i buy something expensive i treat is as if i've just found the holy grail, i've probably gotten my fair share of weird looks because of that but my stuff also never breaks....
unless someone does the breaking for me... poor smartphone qq

I don't think many games will use this feature, and frankly, with Pro Controllers and Wii controllers support, I don't care.
I'm mostly concerned with it as far as letting other people use it. My older brother will probably ALSO want to play the Wii U, but he both has the greasiest hands ever and a bad temper. So...I'm slightly disappointed.
However, I also think this is a smart move, because it means people can't get confused and by just the tablet and think it'll work with their Wii. While they didn't say that was the reason, I still think it'll help clear up that confusion that surrounded the device when it was revealed.

Thats a good question, what if you break it? we gotta wait to get one from japan? what does it hurt to sell them regardless if the games dont support it? people will buy them anyway. nintendo doesnt want my money i guess.
I sincerely don't see ANYONE needing more than one GamePad for the Wii U, EVER.

I hope that's a bit of irony at the end of your comment. Otherwise, your comment = failure.

@TheEvil1:
I'm generally pretty careful with my stuff, but accidents happen. Have you never spilled a glass of water or stubbed your toe? Normally I don't have any issue with pieces of a whole not being sold individually, particularly if it's something that never moves. My consoles are at little risk because they are stationary. However, the WiiU GamePad is designed to be mobile. Things that move around are far more likely to be dropped, stepped on, etc.

So if you break it you're fucked. You lose it, you're fucked.
Luckily I have patience, and I'm not one of those must buy day one/week one consumer.
I'll wait it out and twiddle my thumbs like I did with Mass Effect 3($20), the psvita, the 360/ps3.
Buying a console that just launched, rather than waiting a year or so is a horrible mistake in my opinion.

And yeah bitches, I got Mass Effect 3 new for $20. $15 if you count my $5 off coupon.
The waiting game is the game of the champions. Get on my level day oners.
Borderlands 2, pfft I'll brave the chaos at walmart on black Friday, or buy from Amazon for less than $60.

@pedrovay2003
I'm actually interested in having two GamePads at some point. I'm sure there will be games where two players have information that they need to keep hidden from each other (e.g. Fog of War, Poker, etc.), and I'm definitely interested to play those kinds of things on Wii U.

@LK404
I guess I can see the hidden info thing being appealing, but not for $150. I don't know, different strokes, I guess. It worked on the Dreamcast, but that's because the VMU wasn't expensive at all.

Japan gets standalone gamepads...
"Confirmed: monster hunter 3 ultimate will support 2 gamepads"
...is what I thinks.

Makes sense in that respects, but -really- what if people break theirs? Nintendo doesn't seem to want to account for human beings being massive boneheads.
@TheEvil1
How about accidents happen?
Or, you know, kids?
I mean, yeah I don't understand how people break their shit so easily either, or how you can put $300+ down on something encased in plasti just to treat it like its a Sherman Tank, but this is what (other) people do, and people will need replacement. Personally I take care of my stuff, and I've had it commented to me in past trade-in encounters that you'd think I never unboxed them at all.

inb4 almost no games use this feature until nintendo makes a zelda/or some other first party game that requires two gamepads, and everyone just gives in and buys it for that one game.
I still hear people claiming how motion controls aren't a waste, yet no one would own the motion plus if it wasn't for Skyward Sword (and maybe a few Red Steel 2s)

system is already sold out online on walmart and gamestop says this is the last day for bundle preorders
Either this is a bad coverup for the fact that the system really chugs with 2 of those controllers connected or Nintendo just doesn't want people to get confused thinking the wiiU tablet is a wii accessory. Seems like a bad marketing issue there when we first heard details about the system but now that it's out in the open and they are showcasing the actual wiiU main console (not just the tablet) it seems like that wouldn't be the case.
I honestly don't care too much for the screen pad. I'm more interested in the pro controller truth be told.
@Janklogs Sorry but that's only for a year, it will be on every other console imaginable after Wii U.
@Hasney Yes they do stir up Flame-Wars.

Cheers for the heads up stealth, I'll go and drop the money on one now....
What the fuck, sorry buddy. Just realised I spent all my money on this fantastic device that detects Nintendo employees posting on blogs sites.
Any idea why its going apeshit and its lights are flashing?

What's going to happen if there's a fault in the gamepad?
Its not exactly new tech but where's the guarantee that these things are going to work perfectly out of the box? Good luck getting a game shop employee to open and write off a console bundle so they can replace your faulty gamepad.

@that32bitguy Actually no you are pretty wrong, Nintendo is the only reason Bayonetta 2 is happening. The game was cancelled by Sega and Nintendo stepped in to publish. There is legitimately almost no way this will be coming to other consoles for a long time. Also you never provide reasons as to why the Wii U sucks which leads me to believe you hate it simply because Nintendo is making it and apparently hating on Nintendo is "in" right now or something.
What happens if it breaks? You can't play on that new investment of yours for a few weeks? Pretty ridiculous...
This is such an unbelievably stupid move. If any company besides Nintendo did it they'd be forced out of the industry with pitchforks and torches. But because it IS Nintendo people actually defend it.
