After updates, I tried to test it out with a 2 player game on New Super Mario Bros U only to find out that the gamepad was not compatible with the Wii U motion mote for multiplayer. It pissed me off a little because to me there's no reason it wouldn't be compatible other than to force the consumer to buy more Wii motes, but I got over it and purchased these. Now we will all be able to play. --- End quote --- Wait, what was the problem? ??? --- End quote --- The gamepad (with the screen) cannot be used in co-op story mode on New Super Mario Bros U, so you have to have a wii U mote for every person playing co-op. I was a little bitter about having to buy an extra wii U mote when there's a perfectly good gamepad that doesn't work. I originally thought that 1 gamepad and 1 wii U mote would be enough for 2 people to play co-op story mode, but in fact you need 2 wii U motes for this to happen, at least you do with New Super Mario Bros U. I'm over it and now own 3 wii U motes so we can all play co-op. |

You can use it, but you won't be an actual character. You can place blocks to help or hinder other players. It seems super lame at first, but 4 of my friends and I played through the entire game that way. We ended up passing the gamepad along after every level because the role of "random block maker" ended up being a blast! |

My 7 year old loved placing the blocks and stunning enemies when i played through the game. It was even more fun when she controlled mario and I tried to keep her from dying using the blocks. So simple but really entertaining. |

Leave it to Nintendo. Simplest concept on the planet, and it seems super limiting, but it's like finding 3 refrigerator boxes on one tree lawn when you're 8 years old! |

I haven't played that yet, but it sounds like the "random block maker" is optional? If so, that is awesome. I like ideas like that, but I hate it when they are forced on me. If it's optional, I love it. |
