The Wii U launched back in 2012, and each unit has come with a Wii U Gamepad. Even so, it looks like Nintendo of Japan just opened the gates. However, if Nintendo really has learned from the mistakes of the Wii U, and the NX won't require an expensive GamePad to be boxed-in with the console, players would have to buy a separate GamePad to play Wii U games. Kotaku reports that the controllers are available to buy directly from Nintendo today for ¥12,800 ($104), but only in Japan. We now have no idea if Gamepads will be made available for purchase in North America and Europe in the future but we will let you know more about the matter as soon as possible so stay tuned for all the latest news.
