Wii U will only support one enhanced controller
Multiple controllers is just too expensive for consumers
Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii U will only support one of their new enhanced controller with the touch screen.
Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, admitted that the Wii U was technically capable of supporting more than one of the new controllers but it would be far too costly for consumers to pick up additional controllers.
Iwata-san explained to Japanese business site Diamond Online: "There's a cost issue. Technically, it is possible for the Wii U to support multiple Wii U Controllers. We're not planning on asking our customers to buy multiple Wii U Controllers."
The new controller which features a camera, gyroscope and 6.2 inch touch screen as well as tradtional controls was the main focus of Nintendo's attention when they unveiled the Wii U at this year's E3 expo in Los Angeles earlier this month.
