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. 

is this true? cause people here have sworn up and down that the pad was essential for the OS to work. Have they've been BSing because they dont want to accept the possibilty of a WIi U SKU without the gamepad?
