I hate to say it, but Starfox Wii U sounds like the next Lair

Absolute crap.

Don't tell me Capcom, a third party, was able to implement alternate CPP control schemes for several of their own games before KIU released yet Nintendo who own the thing were not able. 

Nobody believes that.  Especially since he did offer an alternate control scheme using it...just not the one that made sense and that everyone wanted.

Hell, they knew the controls sucked which is why they released it with that stupid stand, oh but they totally didn't realise they had this second stick add-on that could be used, and that they were using (just wrongly).  Nope. 

In fact Nintendo were so stubborn and unwilling to admit the controls sucked and could be fixed with a second stick that he even tried to suggest people using the screen instead of a second stick would be too good in the multiplayer and it wouldn't be fair...ignoring when different schemes were used in SSBB, MKWii etc etc.

Stubborn idiots.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion on Kid Icarus' control scheme. I personally enjoyed it, but I have no intention of arguing over personal preference.

My point is that the single game you're using as a precedent isn't equivalent to this situation. Perhaps they would have been able to patch in CCP controls, and perhaps it was due to stubbornness that this wasn't done. However, these are assumptions, and I have no interest in arguing over unknowns. Mario Kart, Windwaker, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, and NSMB are far better precedents to look towards, as these were titles released on the same system as the game in the OP, and were also developed with knowledge of alternate control schemes in mind. 

Star Fox U could rely on any number of control methods, but I'm inclined to belive, based on precendents that actually fit the situation, it is likely that multiple control schemes will be allowed. Kid Icarus is simply not an equivalent example to use as a precedent.
