Prior to the launch of Wii U, Nintendo announced that they were planning to add support for two GamePads on a single console. Unfortunately, this has not happened, but Nintendo of Japan has finally given customers the ability to buy a standalone GamePad. Nintendo of Japan’s online store is now selling individual Wii U GamePads for ¥13,824, which is about $113 in US currency. So far there’s no word on individual GamePads being sold in other regions, and Japanese GamePads are region-locked.

Our Verdict



Starting today in Japan, you can now order #WiiU GamePads separately from the console. Sadly, no 2-GamePad support. https://t.co/xgjNtyjveU — Cheesemeister (@Cheesemeister3k) November 24, 2015
