If they sell this in the US, they should price at $99.99 instead of $104.45. Even the its only several dollars apart, people would be much more willing to buy something if it's under $100.

The gamepad is expensive anyway, just shows the price burden it's been for the WiiU. I hope Nintendo at least improves the battery life of the batteries, producing better ones has to be easier now.

Sadly adding more mAh's of power to the battery pack would only add to the weight of it, by quite a large amount too.

Also there is newer battery tech which could lower the weight and increase the life... but would also massively add to the price.

Can't have it all.

True :(

I hope that at least it comes with a digital WiiU game, even if it is Nintendoland. A controller for 100$ is a lot, they might need to persuade costumers somehow.

Oh yeah like they did with the Wii Motes and Wii-Play just some nice little party games but took some of the sting off paying 50 for the controller.
