Nintendo have started to sell standalone GamePad controllers over in Japan today.
It's been three years since Nintendo launched the Wii U, and one of the key features that the House of Mario were keen to implement was the option to have games that support more than one GamePad controller.
It seems increasingly unlikely that these ideas would come to fruition on Wii U in the near future, but owners of the console are able to purchase a new GamePad if, perhaps, the existing one is damaged to save on repair costs, or Bowser broke in and nicked it.
As spotted by Cheesemeister on Twitter, the controller costs 13,824 Yen (£74/$112/€105) and is region locked to Japan.
Should Nintendo consider releasing dual-GamePad software, or shelve the idea for the future?
