Don't even bring up Nintendo and the WiiU, the damn consoles as spec of 7th generation consoles and should be selling for $199. All because of that damn controller, I've been using nothing but my WiiU pro controller for last three years. My WiiU gamepad just good at collecting dust. With the terrible battery life, I don't even want to bother with it.

Agree that without gamepad Wii U could have $50 cheaper price, but I think gamepad is great controller despite weak battery, it holds around 4-5 hours and you can always buy battery with bigger capacity.

Do you own a WiiU pro controller? I did try a third party battery and it sucked. made the already bulky gamepad bulkier. The Nintendo brand battery is not worth $39.99, I'd rather just use the far superior WiiU pro controller... which happens to have an amazing over 80 hours battery life.
