Nintendo has announced that Wii U will be able to support a total of two GamePads simultaneously.
For the past year, many Nintendo fans have had just one question - will Wii U support more than one of its iconic, innovative controllers? At E3 2011, Nintendo's demonstrations and concept videos routinely used just one tablet, which has since been named the Wii U GamePad. Back then, the publisher was unable to give a clear indication of Wii U's capability, often contradicting itself.
If using two GamePads at the same time creates any sort of limitations upon the system (or other controllers), it is unknown. Demos at this year's show allow for up to four traditional controllers (either Wii Remotes or Wii U Controller Pros) in addition to one Pad (for a total of five active devices), but nothing we've seen so far has used two GamePads.
