Does anyone know how the Wii U Co-op is done?

Just curious as to how the Wii U co-op will be handled? If its going to use the Tablet and a wiimote with nunchuk or if its gonna be tablet and pro controller.

player 1 in gamepad, and wiimote and nunchuk for player 2, shown in a video by forum member infinite right ear ...

^ It doesn't rule out pro controller support though. Considering the Wii U has been out 8 months now there is no excuse not to include pro controller support.

Saying that however Lego Batman 2 was released a couple of months back with no Pro Controller support. It can't be that hard to dupe the code needed from the gamepad controls and tweak them so that the Pro controller works. Lazy development if you ask me.

^ customisation of characters and Toy Box stuff would then need to appear on the tv screen instead of the gamepad screen ... that isn't tweaking that's almost a full recode

having said that i do however find looking at the gamepad screen for items that could easily have been put on the tv screen very frustrating and so do my 2 sons. based on the videos i have seen, in the case of Disney infinity on the Wii U, it seems that using the gamepad screen is nothing more than a gimmick and does nothing that couldn't be done just by using the tv screen ... though when the game launches and it is played for real there may be things that aren't yet known.

^ I was thinking about Player 2 only when Player 1 is still forced to use the gamepad anyway meaning that none of the gamepad's HUD will be needed on screen as one player still has them.

As long as viewing and finding the items on the gamepad makes for a faster selection than on any other console then it'll be worth it just for the ease of use.

EDIT: Just coming back to this after recent news, the HUD will need to appear on the screen for player 2 anyway no matter what controller they are using as they will not be using the gamepad.

they said on facebook no pro controller support >< i hope they patch it in though

^ this can't just be patched in. as i said above customisation of characters and Toy Box stuff would then need to appear on the tv screen instead of the gamepad screen ... that isn't tweaking that's almost a full recode

^ We don't want Pro Controller support for Player 1, just for Player 2 which would already have the HUB on the screen due to them not being able to use a gamepad controller anyway. Player 1 is stuck using the gaempad which is not a problem due to the awesome off-tv play and the great swipeable menus it brings.

I'm sure it will be harder to patch in than what Nintendo did with NSMBU but it can be done.

EDIT: And just as a side note, Skylanders Giants on the Wii U supports the Pro Controller and anyone who has played that can tell you that it is a pretty broken port.
