So there is no software that supports two Wii pads at all?? What about Tekken?, COD?? Well hell then you are right, but then that raises another set of problems that i wont get into right now

Regarding traditional multiplayer games, as HappyD said, the Pro controllers are available.

Being that Nintendo is not yet pushing the need for a second WiiU gamepad controller - but has still confirmed that it will indeed support two in the future - I believe that they will introduce their star game that is designed around that philosophy by including it with the WiiU-Pad to help justify the possible $99 price.  That way, it will be similar to how Wii Fit was:  Most people saw the $89 price as the cost of the "Wii Fit experience" rather than just the balance board.  Nintendo would be wise to do the same with the stand-alone WiiU pad.

i hope so, but that doesnt really answer what they are going to do in the meantime. I mean, they have to have an option of buying a seperate U pad at launch. Well, they dont have to, but imagine if you bought your WIi and were not able to buy another one for whatever reason.

That is an excellent point that I've questioned as well.  I guess if it breaks, they could have you send it in for repairs or a refurbished one.  However, if it were stolen or something, would you be SOOL and be forced to buy a whole new console?  Perhaps you can just order a new one directly from Nintendo, but that still begs the question of how much it would cost.
