It wold be much more comforting if Nintendo had a true account system not tied to the hardware- 

There is a chance i may have to send my game pad in to Nintendo to get fixed and even if i was able to buy one locally to use as a back up game pad, it would not work on my Wii U becasue the game pads are also tied to the specific console it was originally paired with-   +

I  had to buy a brand new GamePad from Nintendo back in January. I synced the new one to my Wii U in seconds.

How long did it take to get it?  How much dd they charge? 

I wonder how long they will keep spare Wii u game pads available after they release the NX  -   The game pad is so crucial to the console it is more thn a controller but not quite the whole console

I assume they programed the gamepad you bought from them to your specific console before they shipped it - so that is good-
