If you have any other Wii-motes, they will work fine.
I love the Pro Controller, so I'd say get it, but it isn't needed.

I would get a Pro Controller and a Wii remote+ and nunchuck.

you dont really need anything else than a wii U gamepad
however if you want to play wii games or certain minigames in say wii party u, wii fit u or Nintendoland or multiplayer in NSMBU (which is highly recommended) you will want some additional wii motes.
The pro controller? I dont know what the point of that thing is but not every wiiu game supports it and if you have the gamepad and a few wii motes you dont need it.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Look on the back of game cases for controller symbols, they'll let you know which controllers are supported. The only exception as far as I know is NSMBU which added Pro Controller functionality through a patch.
Generally, its a good idea to have a couple of Wiimote + nunchuks and maybe a pro controller on hand because the majority of Wii U games have multiplayer.

Depends on what games you want. there are a ton of extra controllers/etc. But you won't need a lot of them. Like the Wii U Pro Controller, is nice. But not really needed. Only really needed if you want to play multiplayer games with others and your friends don't want to go the wiimote route.
Anyways, I recommend getting at least 1 or 2 Wiimote Pluses and an extra nunchuck. That should really be enough

My question is more specifically related to Lego Marvel Superheroes. I want to play that with my daughter, one of us will use the Gamepad, but what for the other person? I tried looking for a pic of the back of the box to see if the Pro would work. I guess I may have to wait until I get to the store.

Definitely go for the pro controller. Maybe consider getting Wii Party U and/or Mario & Sonic Olympics. Both come with Wiimote + iirc.
Though with Lego Marvel, some reported problems with the Pro controller. I own the game and controller, but haven't tried and I'm on my way to work.
But in general when it comes to Wii U multiplayer you'll need a Wii Remote with Motion Plus at least.
If you can buy a Wii Remote (with M+) and Nunchuck do it and an additional one along a Pro later.
Wii Party U is a great option to play with your daughter and while it includes a Wii Remote; you'll need another one to play with her since for multiplayer each one needs a remote. (though some games can be played with the gamepad)

consider getting some of the wiimote plus bundles (spansmasher, zelda skyward sword, wii party u, wii party u, mario and sonic sochi, wii play motion)
some of them are available dirt cheap depending on where you live.
nunchucks? not necessary if you dont want to use wii mote+ nunchuck set up for single player games.
If you end up needing a Wii Remote +, get Wii U Party as it's just $10 more than a remote and is a full game.
If he doesn't get a pro controller, he'll need one nunchuck for the Lego games, I would think.
Hehe...
Basically this:
-Wii U Zelda bundle
-Lego Marvel Superheroes
-Wii Party U
-Wii Remote with Motion Plus
-Wii Nunchuck
Optional:
-Wii Nunchuck (a second one)
-Wii U Pro Controller
Look for deals too. Best Buy had U Pro controllers in white for under $20 and black ones for$40. MSRP is $50.
Toys R Us had a deal which by buying two $60 games you got a $40 giftcard...but I think that ended today.

with nunchucks i meant two.. yeah its probably better to get at least one
so my recommendation
wiimote + nunchuk and an additional wiimote if you want to have more than two players
also consider getting lego city undercover
that game is really great.

a few wiimote bundles
Yeah that bundle is a real bargain at around 250 dollars.
I'll sell you mine used for $125.
Disney Infinity is in the process of getting WiiU Pro Controller & Wii Classic Controller support patched in as well!
be aware that this doesn't have any two player modes! (which it makes up for by being awesome)
Thanks for the breakdown. I'm about to head out, I'll post a pic of my haul when I get back later.
check the comments. the pro controller is not supported. you'll need nunchuk + wiimote.
I'd suggest grabbing Wii Party U

LEGO Marvel Superheroes plays great with the Wii U Pro Controller if you are still wondering about that. It is definitely the preferred controller for second player amongst people I have encountered.
I also recommend picking up another Wii Remote Plus, but I would wait. Mario and Sonic at the Sochi Olympic Games should be a good opportunity to get one for cheap, or you could wait for those special Mario and Luigi editions to come out. I do not recommend Wii Party U, as I really found it to be an abysmal game, and only worth it if you absolutely need the controller.

Weird that it's not on the back of the box then. At least someone cleared it up finally
There's a coupon for TRU out there for $15 off any game not on sale that's 59.99 or more than runs til 2/1/2014. Also one for $10 off a game not on sale that's $39.99 that runs the same length. I searched CAG for them but couldn't find them. The store I go to had a stack of both
SKN for the $59.99 coupon is 963842

Don't forget to get Super Mario 3D World on November 22nd and you are all set for the holidays!
I'd like to note the color in the Olympics bundle is wrong due to amazon's awful image recoloring that for whatever reason pops up.

nice! have fun!
i really recommend nintendoland (i think its available for pretty cheap now) for further family multiplayer goodness but you should be fine with the current set up.
I cannot disagree more, sir. game is a fantastic mario party type deal with a bunch of table top games that sweaten the deal.
Nunchucks and Wii remotes always been sold seperately.

Is it only rare in the US? I saw it last week in my local store for £9.99GBP, I already have SS but tempted just for the Wiimote plus.
That's not a valid argument. Whats the reason behind it? It makes far more sense to make a bundle.
$$$
Nintendo would argue that because different accessories such as a wii pro controller can be plugged in, you need to be able to plug it in separately.
BUY IT. The complete bundle with the CD, Wiimote, and game sells for $120 used on Ebay.

Since you've got a classic controller I really recommend you to get Xenoblade Chronicles if you like RPGs. If you are in Europe you still can find it new at normal retail price.
Enjoy your new toy!
@Kosh : Nice purchase!
Seriously? Some local store is selling the complete bundle, game, cd, golden wiimoteplus, for £9.99GBP???????? Yes, VERY rare. Buy now! Sell, make nice profit. (or keep as it is a nice wiimote plus too).
I actually bought 2 at launch. Mainly went through Amazon, but since Sunday launch, I got impatient and just went to Target and got myself a copy. Later sold the Amazon version on eBay for like $115 or so (I think it cost me $75?)
