second controller?

hi, recently purchased a wii u, really enjoying mario u atm.

i never owned the original wii so i don't have a sensor bar, since i purchased the standard 300 dollar version to use with my external hdd.

what are my options for a second controller? is the pro controller good? i've heard not all games are compatible? whats the best to use?

I dont understand the sensor bar part, dont they all come with one?? Pro controller doesnt work for Mario or many games right now and ATM you cant use another Gamepad so honestly Wiimotes and Nunchucks would be a better idea.

[QUOTE="spike6958"][QUOTE="profanityVP"] The Pro Controller at this point is useless. The only game that really uses it is Ninja Gaiden 3. You'll be much better off buying a Sensor Bar, Wii Remote+ and Nunchuck. [QUOTE="JuanGrande386"]

Wow this is the first time Ive heard of no sensor bar in the Basic. Just a quick look on Target and Gamestop says the Basic does have a sensor bar. Is this a different case in other countries? Im in the US.

i'm in australia, so the content inside the boxes might be different.

i find it annoying how not all controllers support all games, and it seems very confusing,

also do i need the extra extention thing for the nunchuck?

my problem is i dont have a wii, so i dont have any old accessories,

i dont want the pro controller cause it doesnt work with mario, and if i buy the old controllers it might get fazed out soon anyway,,

lol,,

theres so many controllers, i've even seen one that looks like a snes with additional thumb sticks,, like retro controller or something,

[QUOTE="spike6958"] Only the deluxe version comes with a Sensor Bar.spike6958

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 supports the Pro Controller. Not sure if you can use the Wiimote for it too but I definitely would not reccomend that for a game like Tekken.

My white Basic Wii U came with a sensor bar. It has the exact same model number as the wii version. I compared to make sure they were the same as I didn't want to try and run the cable again from the bar to the Wii U. Still using the one that came with the Wii.

you dont need the wiiU pro controller imo...the gamepad has the same buttons and layout..

you should get some wiimotes with motion plus though..

and if you plan on playing the wii virtual console... you should get a wii classic controller...

This looks like a pretty good option of you want to use it in place of a Wii remote or play classic games through the VC. It can also be used in place of the Wii Classic Controller for Wii and Wii U games that support it. The only downside is that it can't be used as a Pro Controller for Wii U.

The Pro controller is decent. If you have ever used a Xbox 360 controller then you know what to expect. But not all Wii U games allow the use of the Wii U pro controller. So if you can pick up a Wii mote. But it has to have motion plus. Regular Wii motes will not work.

The Wii U basic set doesn't include a sensor bar? I have the Deluxe set it comes with a sensor bar.
