There you are. No need to wait for Sep 13th.

My guess is no pro controller, yes Wiimote plus. The promotion of the console has heavily involved the Wiimote and barely addressed the pro controller, aside from a "this exists" sort of thing.

I was thinking about that, but this year Nintendo mentioned about the number of Wiimote in US in the same way during E3 talked about all those Balance Board waiting to be used. Of course it could be some Wii Fit U + Balance Board bundles, but standalone game will sell most.

Selling the WiiRemote Plus for something like 19.99 and WiiU Controller Pro for 39.99 will give them more money. Even could see a WiiUCP + CODBlops2 bundle (if it's announced) as happened with GoldenEye.
