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.

Yes I own it, it great controller with insane battery life, but I mainly buy it to use it for GC games via Nintendont hack, for Wii U games I always use gamepad.

Official Nintendo batter gives basically twice of battery life of gamepad. But battery of gamepad is not such a issue for me, always last at least one gaming session and after that I put it back on charging cradle.
