Meh. My adapter is two feet away from my sofa. For me, it's no worse than when I have to plug in an Xbox or Playstation controller.


You have to plug your controller in whilst playing? Damn you must have some insane gaming sessions or poor battery power management :p

I let my pads charge whilst I'm not using the system. It's just unlike the other systems, my Wii U battery did not last long enough for even a medium gaming session and I don't have a power oulet in a convenient place for where I sit and play games right now making the battery life an issue.  It doesn't help that you can't just plug it into the console, it needs a separate power outlet for the pad.

You'll have to buy a 3rd party USB to Wii U gamepad charge cable. I did that with my 3DS.  It is dumb. They should of just used the Wii U Pro controllers stock USB charge port on the top of the gamepad.  Hoenstly the bigger battery is still small. Why isn't the battery slot using all the space betweeen the grip parts.
