Question, somewhat relevant: are the game-pads attached to Wii U consoles? If not, there are Wii U only consoles on eBay for like $100 without the game-pad. So if something like this happens and one is not covered by warranty, they could just buy a new console, assuming the game-pad isn't attached to the console, that is.


The gamepad isn't tied to onesystem but the digital downloads are.  But more to your point, it's good to know.  Makes me wonder if a person could get a pro controller and be set with out the pad.  

Hm, that is a good idea for people who don't see the value in the gamepad. Which games are gamepad dependent (if there are any?) 

Here is what I was referring to by the way:

and plenty more like it

The only good games i know require a gamepad are Zombi U and Sonic Lost World.  Problem is i believe a gamepad is needed for initial setup..  But if a friend has one then problem solved... maybe.
