Miyamoto said in an interview that they are looking for programming techniques to make it possible to play with more than one controller simultaneously.

Honestly this is a make it or break it for me, for Smash Brothers is one of the main reasons I buy Nintendo systems.

Why? You need 4 screens to play SB? It's been said already it will support Wiimotes, this means also the Classic controller.

Ugh. How many freakin' controllers are you supposed to buy? 4 Classic controllers just to play Smash Bros.? That's a bad joke.

Yes it seem like a lot, and actually it is a lot but you could also consider...

-Very often this gen Nintendo has bundleds controllers an other periphericals with games.

-A wiimote+classic controller costs about as much as a dualshock3, add 10$ if you want Wiimote+.

-if you want to add 3 players, you need 3 controllers what's different from any other console?

-You would prefer to spend something like 100$x3 or more to have 4WiiU controllers?

-From what demos and concepts are showing, the console will use wiimotes by the default not only the new controller, so probably a wiimote and a nunchuk will be bundled. (I think we all agree that a WiiUsports game is a given)

-If you are already a Wii owner you already have some wiimotes, nunchucks, and maybe even classic controllers.

-If you consider that more traditional games will come out for the console as well (Tekken for example) classic controllers will be useful for more games.

YOU ARE MISSING THE WHOLE POINT.

Your statements are mostly based on IF's and YOUR OPINIONS. Don't get me wrong here bro you are entitled to your opinion, BUT. $100 for a Wii-U remote? Are you kidding me bro? Just becasue the only thing different between it and a Wii Remote is a screen and slightly better tech? You can purchase a new DS Lite for around that.

If I don't own a Wii, and I buy a Wii-U, I want four Wii-U controllers or at least the option of pluging in Gamecube controllers so that I may play Smash Brothers the way its supposed to be played. Oh and a Wii-U controller would more likely be $50 not $100.
