Well, if they don´t, then that means I will have to buy new controllers for local multiplayer, and I hate having to buy controllers, they are always expensive and I´d rather spend my money on new games.
Also, I have plenty of wii controllers, a wii u pro controller I bought because it was like half the price, and if they don´t make a new gamepad, then I hope at least they´ll make wii u´s compatible because I love playing games and having the map there.
I know they may be trying to start from scratch, but making previous controllers compatible can´t make them any harm, right?
