Meh, don't care.

If the fps drop really is such a big mess then just make sure you stick to one tablet and three pro controllers. (also, I'm perfectly fine with 30 fps, no need to go beyond that)

The question is though if Nintendo is willing to cut graphics to make sure that the game runs smoothly (like they did with Mario Kart 7), which I believe they are. Games where graphics are important usually don't support split screen anyway.

The gamepad LCD drops the fps to 30, not the TV.

Yeah, I believe this might be true.

 

The statement that two wii u gamepads will drop the frame rate to 30 fps points at a game running at 60 fps, but that can never be guaranteed. Which is why I think it might be the wiiu pads, maybe the wiiu pads will have everything running at 60 fps.
