For Nintendo to release a sku without the gamepad they have to change the OS.

It's not just a nice bonus like the 3D on 3DS.


People do realize you can use the Wii U OS just fine without the game pad? I had a friend that barely ever touched the game pad, would just log into everything with the Pro Controller. The Wiimote also works. 

Miiverse is really the only thing that requires the gamepad (I think even the eShop now works on the TV screen), and that could be patched fairly easily.
