Stand-alone WiiU gamepads priced and up for purchase in Japan

[FragilE^]

Saying the NX is compatible with the WiiU gamepad is not the same as saying the NX requires a gamepad. Just sayin' :o
I'm a bit confused by this though, is it only meant as a replacement if your old one breaks? Cuz surely, nothing else supports multiple gamepads at once. Or have I missed something?
