Blasted hyperlinks and Gamespot. :x Apologies.

There are mixed reports though. Some claim it IS happening. Others sources claim Nintendo is considering. Here are some links. Read through them. Notable differences but all with the topic of going with 2 of these controllers being supported (if you want to call them tablet.)

Now there are 3 things that are up in the air. The first is the number of tablet controllers the Wii U is supporting. The other two are the processing speed and the amount of RAM (random access memory).

If they can get the WiiU to work with more than 1 tablet controller day one buy for me and I don't care about controller pricing as long as its reasonable.

part of the problem might be that they don't want the wiimotes to just be abandonedGunSmith1_basic

I think thats the biggest issue here.

This shouldn't be news, it should already be a fact. Four should be able to work on one Wii to some extent, at least keep the buttons active.ZumaJones07

I have a hunch that suggests many here are intentionally setting themselves up for disappointment, both here and else where.wiifan001

well, 2 is better than one, but i dunno. i honestly dont know what to think of the wiiu anymore. its pretty awkward to me. ive never felt like this about a new nintendo console before, i remember being so exited for the revolution/wii

This sounds good, but I hope they don't cut out features so it can run with 2 tablets...meaning you could have done more with or have better features with 1 tablet controller as oppose to 2.

I think it is vital for the system, from a perspective of possible gameplay solutions, that there be support for two tablets. So I take it as kind of a given that in the end there will be two tablets.

I would hope that 2 is the minimum for the Wii U. 4 would be great. However I dont think the Wii Mote should be just forgotten about. especially with Wii Motion Plus and all. Would be nice if the Wii U supported 4 tablet controllers and you could chose if you wanted to use it or the Wiimote. I dont think thetablets will be to pricy....cheaper then say an Xbox controller. Proabbly about $25 a tablet is my guess. Nintendo has never been the type to be expensive. They will even take a hit and loose money if they want to like with the 3DS.

Wii Remotes are still going for $40 here. To think that the Wii Tablet, with all of the tech that's trying to be crammed into it, is going to go for $25 is a little... imaginative.

As for the topic itself, here I was thinking that Kinect only supporting two players was a bad sign...

Kinect only supports two players at a time. Wii U always supported 5 players 1 Tablet and 4 Wii Remote Pluses. Now it will support 6 players.

I don't understand why people think the controllers will retail for more than $49.99

They won't. Nintendo won't make a super expensive controller like that. Especially after the over-pricing of the 3DS.

Look, the controller is just a shell, buttons and a 854x480 screen with WiFi and touch abilities. None of these things cost much, and you've got to consider they are buying in bulk with massive discounts. At the worst a controller is $59.

I'm willing to bet $299 the console with one controller and a wiimote + nunchuck

would be pretty hard to run 5 screens at once for the gpu.

E3 2012 can't come soon enough. The speculation surrounding this system is confusing.
