Will the next 3D Mario utilise the Gamepad??

So you think the game pad should be optional to purchase as well?   If it is optional to use and develop for then it shouldn't t be mandatory to purchase. 

As I wrote, some games make extensive use of it, as well as some WiiU applications, without the Gamepad the WiiU simply wouldn´t work

People always have the option to use a ProController, with a battery that lasts 70 hours, if they don´t want to play games that use the Gamepad, but they will need it anyway.  So it´s pointless to have it without the Gamepad
