I'm still waiting on a price cut, and a padless version...

...which I'll buy refurbished.

You're missing out.

Nah, with the Wii and the Wii U the best thing someone like me can do is buy it at the end of the gen when all the worth-while games had come out and are dirt cheap to boot.

I still don't understand how people think you can have a padless version? It's so much more than a Kinect equivalent. It's more like having a wii without motion controls.

It's not that hard to think about it, seriously, launch the "Wii Slim/orwhatever" and make the Pad a peripheral, have games like Nintendo Land, the new Kirby, the Bowser mode in Mario Party 10, and the probably 1st person mode on the new Star Fox being GamePad exclusive, that's enough incentive for people to buy one separately, well, some people, that doesn't include me as I detest the thing, and any useless gimmicks Nintendo and its fanboys try to pass out as innovative. 

Also, I would've fucking loved a Wii without motion controls. 

I don't necessarily think it's innovative and I agree it was a gimmick to try and match the wii's success.

I bought a pro controller when I purchased the wii u thinking I would use that over the game Pad. I never use it, but I love games like the wonderful 101 so the Pad is necessary.
