Definitely not !!. The Wii U Pro controller is an ADDITIONAL controller to play with a friend or family toghether or to play shooter games in a more comfortable way. It is lighter and smaller than gamepad. The only negative thing....: no sound output, you have to hear it directly from gamepad.

it is not required for any game. however it is really comfortable, and really light. The battery also lasts about 80 hours between recharges. it really is a great controller, but i usually use the Gamepad.

Not necessarily. I didn't buy a pro controller til later down the road. And its mainly for guest when they want to play with me. Other than that, I use my gamepad for everything.

No, there is no need for you to buy the Pro Controller, however you can buy it if you would like. Most of the games come with special features with the Controller Pad, so you might loose those features if you go by the pro controller.If you want to play with some friends or family, you will need at least 2 more controllers - It could be pro controllers or regular controllers with nun chucks.

Well i would suggest getting one, it's really awesome and light. However if you don't want one, you don't really need it. Though it would be best to have one.

You actually don't, most games have plenty of compatible controllers. I would recommend buying the pro controller if you find yourself uncomfortable with the wiipad.

Yes, it does, but you don't wanna try a cheap-product that's made in china, aim for an expensive ORIGINAL Pro controller! It looks similar like the one you're looking, but it has the WII logo on it. This one doesn't, and it can contain some unresponsive actions.I tried moving it diagonal, and it doesn't work.If it doesn't have the "Wii" logo on the controller, it's a KNOCK OFF!

Nope, you just play with the Wii Remote sideways like an NES controller. Of course if you want, you could get the Pro Controller too.

yeah, you can use the pro controller and that was my choise too, but please consider that this CoD is responsible for many broken (older) wii disc drives (the game is too demanding for the console), take a look at the net...

I have a Wii U only. I was told you can play this game on the Wii U. I have both the pro controller & the touch screen D pad but gamestop told me those don't work, so I bought a Wii remote plus today and that it should work. I tried it but it's not working for me. Do you know what I'm doing wrong here?

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

for certain games, yes, u need a nunchuk. but this remote does not come with a nunchuk if that's what u mean

The Wii U Pro Controller does not connect to anything but the console through the special mini-USB controller adapter, and that's mainly if you want to recharge the controller and use it while it's recharging. When it's fully recharged, it can be used wirelessly if it's properly synced with the Wii U game system.

No you don't. You can choice what controll use: the wii remote or the controll pro for a single player, anyway you can use the gamepad for a single player too.

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

Gamepad and pro controller. Both have their benefits. The with the gamepad you can see all your items really well. The pro controller has a superior feel in the hands as far as gameplay.

unlikely. Originally Nintendo said that Gamecube controller would be supported by anything that uses a pro controller, but they updated later that it would only be supported with Smash. They might change their mind again, but currently the answer is no.

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

We just have the regular Wii controllers and the Wii U controllers and they all seem to work just fine. It does come with a controller as well so for the price you can't really beat it.

Yes, you can use the Wii U's gamepad. Alternatively, you can also use the Wii U's regular pro controller, and the Wii's classic controller and Wii remote.

Sadly, no, the Wii U Pro Controller is currently not compatible with any original Wii software. An update which could patch in functionality is possible, but not likely. Your best option is the Classic Controller Pro originally designed for the Wii, which also works with the Wii U.

Good question. No you do not. While previous controllers came with installation disc, this one does not . You plug it in and play no extras needed. very user friendly.
