Separate Wii U GamePads to Retail at Around £100 on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

During Nintendo's Japanese presentation earlier today, the company confirmed pricing for additional Wii U GamePads.

Whilst the new peripheral, which boasts a touch screen, speakers, camera and microphone, will be included alongside the console by default, the GamePad will also be sold separately. A majority of titles will be solely catered to the single pad, yet Nintendo did confirm back in June that up to two can be used simultaneously in some scenarios.

There's also the vulnerability of accidentally throwing the GamePad down a flight of stairs or watching it whirl about in a washing machine.

Over in Japan the tech will be available at 13,440 Yen (converting to around £100 / $170). 

Pricing for Europe and North America are expected later today.
