    Can the Wii U be used without a gamepad? Ie. With just Wii controllers.

    Ie can all it’s normal functions be used (starting, opening and playing games etc) be performed?

    I know there are probably some games that need the gamepad but I’m thinking games like Mario galaxy /kart / smash bros and splatoon?

    Thanks!

    Splatoon needs gamepad.
    Smash needs a gamepad to start the game I think.
    Mario Galaxy is a Wii game so should be OK.
    Not sure about Kart.

    I think the gamepad is needed for the eshop too.

    Sounds like a headache, to be honest. :o

    Seemed like a bargain for a Wii U without a gamepad but given it’s basically banjaxed without one there’s no point when ye can pick up a used Wii U full kit for €90 in GameStop.
