Keeping cost down: Wii U only compatible with one screen controller

According to Popular Mechanics, “Nintendo says that just one U controller can connect to the U at a time, along with four standard Wiimotes.”

That’s how they’ll be able to sell this thing for an estimated $299 or less next year. That’s why most local multiplayer games will be Wii remote only or Pac-Man Versus like.
