Wii U games that let you control two characters or more at once?

I know this is not quite what you were getting at but the only one I am aware of is Animal Crossing: Sweet Day on Nintendo Land. If you are the guards you control 1 with the left hand and the second with your right using the analogs and the bumpers for each hand. Kind of challenging chasing multiple people at once and doing a good job of it with both guards simultaneously. Very simple game but my buddy and our kids got a lot of laughs from each other while playing it.

It's not, but it sounds interesting! I don't own Nintendo Land myself but if I ever decide to pick that up I'll definitely take a look at that mini-game.

To clarify why it's not, I was thinking about controlling the other character with less freedom than the main character you're using like Pikmin 3. Also, the two characters you control in that mini-game seem to have very basic actions since each character is controlled by a controller stick. My idea of controlling the other characters doesn't take away actions for the main character that can be performed by face buttons (A, B, X, Y).
