Is the game pad the only controller compatible?

Nope my friend.. wii u its compatible with the old wii remotes, wii nunchuks, wii classic controller, wii u pro controller and soon it will be compatible with gamecube controllers aswell. But of course it all depends on the games.. if a game it's designed to use motion device.. u will most likely have to use the wii remotes to play and other stuffs, some games let you use all type of controllers.. others don't.

It is backwards compatible with ALL Wii mote controllers (original and with Wii motion Plus), along with all the accessories for the Wii Mote (like classic controller Pro). It does not natively support GameCube controllers but with the new adapter (shown in E3 2014) it will support both wired and wireless GameCube controllers.

No, it is also compatible with the new Wii U Pro controllers that are similar to XBox controllers. The old Wii controllers also work.

The gamepad is the main controller, you need it to navigate the menu and the store. But you can use the wiimote, Wiimote and nunchuck, Wii U pro controller, classic pro controller (VC games) and you can buy the gamecube Wii Uadapter to use gamecube controller in the upcoming game super smash brothers.

depends on the operating system you're using AND the game itself. You may want to go to the Doom forum and see what pad works with it, and your OP

Yes, you can use a USB game controller. I use a Logitech F310, set to "D" (Direct Input). Some of my friends on Steam use Xbox 360 controllers and have no complaints.

I actually haven't tried that out, I can test it out in a bit. Update: I have tested it on Ubuntu 12.04. Nothing extra to do for the controller or adapter to be detected. I gave it a go on the zsnes emulator and configured the inputs and it worked out fine for every button. Played Super Mario World on it and everything responded like it would when I'm using windows. I have yet to try other games/programs on Ubuntu.

You can use regular Wii controllers or the Wiiu pad that comes with the Wiiu

At this time only one gamepad is supported. Wii remotes can be used for additional players. Watch out for unscrupulous sellers like Sadpolar7 selling the "Deluxe Set" without the gamepad. The system needs the gamepad to work. SCAM!

Searching on the web I couldnt find any reference for this compatibility, yet, you must try searching on users guide because this controller seems to be very flexible about compat.Luck

You can use the game pad as a screen like a small TV, but the buttons will do nothing, you must use Wii controls.

To be honest I don't know I don't play that long. I bought the nyko pro controller and I could always use that if the game pad ran out. It's a great controller and 20 bucks

I just had my son test it. You can NOT use the game pad you need a Wii remote

Don't see why it wouldn't. I have one, and use it with Project 64, ZSnes, ROCKnes, Kega Fusion, Chanka, and others all the time with no problems. It's d-pad is ok for a standard cross type. But I have an older Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual Power 3, and I think it's dpad is more comfortable. Lots of luck finding one though--like I said, they're older gamepads, and getting hard to find now.

No. One person can use the GamePad, and up to three others can use a wiimote, classic controller, pro controller, or wii+nunchuck.

Yes. Alternatively, the game is also compatible with the previous console's controllers like the Wii's remote and classic controller.

I plugged it into a Visual Land Connect and the D-Pad and left stick work, but all of the buttons appear to be Enter or Backspace by default. Haven't figured out how to change that yet.

Mine shows up as a Wireless Gamepad F710 with the switch on 'X' and a Cordless Rumblepad on 'D' when looking at game controllers. I'm using it on XP, with no driver download (auto-detected drivers) So far it has worked with all controller-compatable games in 'X' mode, though I havent seen any that differentiate wired and non-wired. I'm a PS3 gamer so this one is a bit heavier than I'm used to, but it is one heck of a nice unit.

It uses both the wii u controller and the basic woo controller. You do not need the one sold with the game.

As far as I'm aware, the pro controller should be region free. The gamepad however is region locked
