| Metrium said: Does the WiiU support 6controlers at once? I know for a fact they can do 5 (4controlers+1gamepad), I also know for a fact that it can theoricaly handle 2gamepads. But the question is, can a 2nd gamepad be added w/o the cost of ditching a other controler? But I agree, 6players in a living room playing MK at once would be awsommme. But I seriously doubt theye will. Nintendo never seemed too interested in dual gamepad in the first place and only added the feature because of the high deman. And still they SAID that they added the feature a while back, we still have no proof of that (altho I doubt they would lie on such a aspect). I seriously doubt we will see anything using dual gamepad at this year's E3, I'd go as far as to say that I would'nt be surprised if ever. |
to answer your actual question..
...wiimotes talk to the console via bluetooth. here is the fastest thing i can find to a source but the answer is 7. 7 devices can be supported at once depending on usage. the gamepad doesn't use bluetooth but instead uses wifi meaning the theoritical limit is 9 devices.
so the only thing in my mind preventing 6 user play is if the wiiU is not powerful enough to render 6 screens. if that were the case nintendo could easily sacrifice graphics to improve performance.
