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).

Yeah, I knew what you were getting at, just that game popped into mind.  The extent of the controls are run with the analog, tackle with the coresponding sholder button. Very simple but they suggest if it is too hard to have a friend control the other guard and hold the gamepad between two people.
