Since when has a console ever come with "all the controllers needed" for a full multiplayer experience? It's no different than when the Wii launched and required four remotes and nunchucks for some of the games. Or even back on the N64 when to get the full Smash Bros experience you needed four controllers. Only difference is that now it comes bundled with a "special" controller and supports five player multi instead of four.
I'm sure when Mario Kart Wii U and Smash Bros U come around people will be running for the Pro Controllers.... but even that's not new because we all did the same for those respective games on the Wii. Nothing's changed and it wasn't a problem before so I don't see how it could possibly be a problem now.
I get your point but I meant this:
- Mom got gamecube for boy
- boy plays with friend from next door
- boy sad because he can't because he only got one controllers
- Mom goes to store says 'Me want controller for gamecube'
- Mom brings controller home, boy happy
Situation now:
- boy wants to play multiplayer on Wii U
- Mom walks to store says 'I want controller for Wii'
- storeclerk says 'Wii or Wii U' (because he's an idiot)
- Mom confused, eventually she remembers the package and says 'Wii U'
- storeclerk says 'which one?'
- O_0
- storeclerk says 'need a nunchuk too?'
- X_x
That - or similar scenarios is what I meant.
The different KINDS of controllers not that the system doesn't come packed with all of them for Multiplayer.
Or like parents buying a game for the Wii U the boy most likely can't play because he's lacking the right kind of controller.
