I wouldnt really see that as a problem to be honest, if you cant pick up the gamepad for eshop browsing/buying every once in a blue moon you're probably better off buying a 3DS

Yea but what about system settings? You need to configure wifi since it doesn't have ethernet adapter and there is a mandatory day 1 update still I believe... Also, I think you do need a gamepad for the initial setup (but I forgot if its nessesary)

These are all small things though, if your main aim is to boot up the console and play games, once you have the setup and buying of things out of the way you can let the tablet battery run out and use the pro controller exclusively until you need to buy something or change settings.

Yea but I am saying it cause he apperently saw a wiiU on sale without a gamepad and a sensor so if he buy's a wiiU without a gamepad, I think its a big deal cause he can't set up anything then...

oh when he said pad i thought he meant the pro pad, sensor as you will know is entirely optional.

OP, If it doesnt have the tablet, avoid unless its for a rediculously low price and you know someone with a WiiU who will briefly lend you their tablet.
