I could be able to support two Pads, but no where has this been shown or hinted at. Therefore I'm assuming it won't support two Pads - but I hope I'm wrong =)

I support the idea of a $299 price point. Make hay whilst the sun shines and if you've got the most powerful and unique console on the market then you may as well flaunt it. This generation has proved that a $250-300 price point is no obstacle to adoption and the majority of the PS3's and Xbox 360's sold have been at or higher than this price level.

Seems quite likely. Would be a good system seller at launch.

Well... why would you want it to? Most of the games that have been announced seem to only need on UPad.

Well, it would make a great bundle: NintendoLand and a GamePad. But also, you could have two teams competing against each other.

They are two separate games, coming on two separate carts.  If Nintendoland and Super Mario Bros. Wii came on one disk, would that make them together one game? They are still two separate games.  Ok, one can get cute and go, "But NintendoLand is 12 separate games!"  Well, except it is a collection of mini-games, that you get when you load up the main menu of the game.

just real quick, i saw alot of talk about 2 game pad support. However, nintendo stated at e3 that no game at launch would support 2 gamepads. This would defeat the purpose of the assymetric gameplay idea that the wii-u was founded on. They did say however that now that it is possible to make a game that supports 2 pads (at the time of the initial query it was not) that future games down the road (think 2013/2014) could support 2 gamepads.

While I would love to see those two games with the Wii U, that doesn't necessarily increase the likelihood that it is going to happen. I would have also loved to see the 3DS bundled with Ocarina of Time, Mario Land 3D, and Kid Icarus.

Never going to happen. At most you will get Nintendoland voucher for the eshop. Nintendo are going to want to make a profit on this console, so don't expect Wii type bundles day 1.

I think NintendoLand will be bundled at launch for...a year (?) or so, maybe less. Then it will be sold seperately in a Wii Play-esque bundle where the cost for the game and the included Gamepad is marginally more than the retail price of the Gamepad.

Note that this will be the only way to get a second Gamepad for a few months...which sorta defeats the purpose of bundling it.
