Buying an extra Wii U GamePad won’t be cheap

Well you didn't think would be cheap right?

During the Japanese Nintendo Direct Wii U Launch Presentation a lot of pricing information was given, only one thing was more anticipated than the actual Wii U price itself.

The GamePad’s price.

That price has now been revealed to be 13,440 yen, which is $165 Aussie dollars and about the same US dollars. That’s one expensive controller.

Remember though that the Yen isn’t going so well now so it might not be that expensive here, then again we are in Australia. Wii U GamePad isn’t your average controller, there’s that honking big screen in the middle for starters. It does come with an AC adapter to help smooth the price down.

We’ll find out in a few hours how much ours will cost officially.
