"For the time being, two GamePad gameplay is not within our objectives in the short-term. "We're still trying to get as many people as possible to buy the system itself, and that's where our focus is right now. "Certainly as we've been working on Wii U, I think we're at a point where we don't feel it's realistic to expect people to purchase two GamePads yet," Miyamoto told IGN. "We’ll make that available as an additional accessory when there’s content to support it," said NoA's senior product marketing manager Bill Trinen.įlash forward one year and eight months later, Miyamoto says Nintendo's priority to focus on selling the system itself first, which is a rather smart move actually since Wii U hasn't even come close to being the hit the original Wii was with consumers.
The firm also felt there wasn's a need to sell a second GamePad if users "didn’t have something to use it with." Prior to the launch of Wii U in November 2012, Nintendo stated only one GamePad would be included in the console box so as not to confuse consumers. It's 2014 now, and according to Shigeru Miyamoto dual-GamePad functionality isn't part of Nintendo's "objectives in the short-term." Nintendo promised back in 2012 Wii U games making use of two GamePads would be released “sometime next year." Next year being 2013.
