There's an official screen protector, and it includes a pen stylus.
And this is my favourite stand so far:

I'm assuming the nunchuck wires fit underneath that?

Is there anywhere in the US to preorder this? I checked Amazon but couldn't find it

I wish Nintendo would release some official wireless Nunchucks.

Question: Does sound play through headphones hooked up to the gamepad even when you're playing on the TV?
'Cause that'd be nice.

I've only seen it for sale from European and Japanese websites. NoA might not be selling it?
The Japanese box has a white gamepad on it instead of the black one on the European box.

Hard case might not be a bad idea when younglings play with the pad. I wonder if the protected pad will fit in the charging station though.

It's available at play-asia.com. Looks like I'll have to order it from there if the US doesn't get it.
Ooh yes please. Even if it required a clip on accessory to the bottom of the wiimote to act as a receiver. You could probably do a third party one like that.
I need to know this too.

Thats awesome. So neat and tidy for when you are done playing.
Is there a 3rd party wireless nunchuck that is worth it?
idiots flinging their remotes into TVs and the "mandatory" remote jacket put the kibosh on that ever happening.
I want that really expensive screen protector for some reason. The screen looked relatively strong on the Gamepad when I seen them at Eurogamer, and didn't show any sign of scratches despite being fondled by thousands of people, but I want to be sure it stays pristine.
Hopefully there will be a way to get them to the UK.

Plastic. You expect Nintendo to put glass on these things?

I doubt I'll buy screen protectors for the WiiU gamepad. I haven't for neither the 3DS, Vita or iPad.
Whatever it is, it's apparently the best of its class: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i3EsSdnG0c
I recommend you to hear these screen impressions, it eases all concerns one might have.

I don't know it's just worrying that there is an official screen protector as if they expect it to get scratched.
for god's sake.

Well others have said it's plastic so you will need a protector. Especially if you're going to leave it lying around like a normal controller.

Looks awful and pointless. Controllers can go in drawers if you need the living space to look neat. The stand will look ridiculous when the controllers are in use, and the Wii U console's rounded sides make it look rubbish in a vertical orientation.
What? At least my cheap ass Sony phone came preinstalled with a screen protector and one extra bundled in the box because they knew the screen was scratch prone.

What a shit accessory lineup. Half a dozen different screen protectors (which are probably all the same), a pouch that is of zero use, and the dumbest of them all, the clear plastic shell - I mean come on, the controller is a plastic shell. A second one attached to it will help next to nothing.
The only ones that even remotely make sense are the headphones and styluses.

The protective case and screen protector are to prevent scratches and stops it getting dirty. It's just like a smart phone case - nothing worse than a smart phone with scratched screen.
I was buying 2nd hand Wavebirds on eBay recently. You'd be amazed at how filthy 2nd hand controllers can be. If only people used cases it wouldn't be an issue!

Nyko needs to step it up and bring out the next generation in Party Stations.

they still need to release the original first
Tell me about it. I think the worst thing is in the seam where the two pieces of the controller join up. There's always brown gunk that I can only assume is other people's dead skin in there and it grosses me the hell out.
The plastic shell is pretty useful for ensuring a lack of scratches on the surface of the game pad; I know the original 3DS (and possibly previous DS iterations) have had those clip-on clear clamshells to make sure you don't scratch the casing.

It's not like anything else requires special protection, though. Gamepad aside you can toss all your wires, remotes, base system into any bag you wish and have no problems beyond a bit of scuff.
Pretty much.

Screen protectors are a waste of money. I've owned basically every kind of system with a touch screen including a launch DS and never had any problems with them.

Hmph... For the price, it seems like one of those standard Hori parts stick no? Can´t wait for a proper Seimitsu/Sanwa stick from them.
Hori better not go cheap on us this Nintendo generation. They better not.

Still amazed people buy screen protectors for any device. I've had touch screen devices for years and I've only had one device get a tiny scratch. I'd take a tiny scratch over a screen protector on 24/7 any day of the week.
