Thankfully, the Wii U gamepad is pretty reliable and Nintendo hardware doesn’t fail very often. As of today, you can now buy a standalone Wii U controller directly from Nintendo Japan for ¥12,800 ($104). This isn’t just for replacement purposes as Engadget reports the Wii U will support dual gamepads in the near future. Unfortunately, there’s no indication if standalone gamepads will arrive in the west, but it’s a possibility. Please note, do not import the Wii U gamepad from Japan unless you have a Japanese console. Nintendo in their infinite wisdom have decided to region lock the gamepad, which means it will not work in western territories. Also in the UK, prepare to be stung with customs duty, and a Royal Mail handling fee.
Perhaps, Nintendo sees a future with the gamepad in their next console, but only time will tell.
