This thread pops up every couple weeks, and the answer is still the same, no. The entire system is built around it and so are upcoming games like Splatoon.

Is every game completely compatible with the Pro controller?


Nope, so that's another point...

Wii U never had a tablet.

I know. It will probably never happen. Nintendo is dedicated in the tablet controller. I also think controller isnt that bulky as people think it is. But I am still hoping. Is there any possibility to have tabletless Wii U controller. Sure. It will make many games pretty much unusable. But it would be nice if nintendo launched tabletless Wii U console.


No it won't.



Nintendo has committed to the gamepad so its here to stay. I honestly love how the gamepad works where the gamepad becomes your all in one hub for everything that you need.



"I think it will be the HDS"-Me in regards to Nintendo's next handheld.

Nope. Two years in and too many games made with it being a part of the system.



Around the Network

no, never.
defnitely.

There are "WiiU is saved/doomed" threads every week  xP



Without the tablet, your Wii U is useless. You would have to rebuild the entire console if you eliminated the tablet as the tablet is the Wii U.

I like the tablet anyway. It is surprisingly comfortable for video gaming. I still want one of those Nintendo gaming pads down the line, though.



I'll give it time.

Nintendo will never release a Wii U without a GamePad, but hackers probably will ditch the GamePad somehow. Not that the Wii U will be of any use to them afterwards.



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Nah. The GamePad itself was never the problem, and if you own the system you'd most likely know that. It's a really neat piece of technology, as Off-TV Play is really neat. The problem lies in the branding and (lack of) marketing of the system, poor third-party support, and a major lack of compelling first-party titles during the launch window. Nintendo rested too much on their laurels with the Wii and expected word-of-mouth to spread the Wii U to consumers. Obviously that didn't work, which taught them that they have to always be aggressive.
