Oh wow. I never played my Wii U without the gamepad, so I didn't know
this. Makes sense that the gamepads are still as expensive as they are.

This is great. A few years ago, I decided to buy a WII U, since I have
basically every Nintendo console system since the NES. But the gamepad
screen was broken and I couldn't sync the gamepad to the screen until I
fixed it. And I tried to see if there was any alternative, but there
wasn't until now. Hopefully that means more WII Us can be saved...
You can sometimes find used Wii Us for $30 without the gamepad, while
the gamepad itself costs around $100..

Yeah. As noted in the video the only way to get a new one was via a
support process with Nintendo and they ran out of stock in 2024.
