I was being a bit sarcastic, not trying to offend.
As far as I understand most games don't require the gamepad. But maybe I'm wrong on that.
When it comes to moralising about "shouldn't buy if can't afford complete system"...I mean one could argue the same thing about games...
Am I in a hackers forum or somewhere else? You shouldn't be trying to convince me to take the easy/convenient way out.
A Wii U gamepad would cost me almost double what I paid for the system itself and I'm actually offended that Nintendo even created such a hideous and pointless piece of...
Do I need to launch or interact with hombrew to play games that have been installed with WUPinstaller? Thats all I'm trying to figure out. Once I have games installed can I just launch them like a normal wii u?
