Ah, lovely. Now I don't have to lug around a giant controller in single player.
I would be saying that if I had a Wii U

Why not?

It's just, mechanically, a Classic Controller in a different shell.
Sadly this might be a sign that the next Zelda game will be handicapped by not having motion controls
Great to see them doing this, but bizarre it couldn't be used in the first place. Also this:

So why exactly was this not in the game to start with (and why can you still not use the GamePad to play the game properly in multiplayer)? The only two possible scenarios that I can see is that they couldn't be bothered, or they genuinely didn't realise that people might want to use these controllers to play the game. I'm not sure which is worse!
Pro Controller doesn't have motion controls. A couple of levels require tilt.
Sums up how I feel to be honest.
I haven't used my pro pad at all , which is a shame as it seems a really nice controller.

This still baffles my mind why this wasn't a option. Who wants to sit there adding blocks throughout the entire game? I bought this game/system at launch with a extra Wiimote so I can play with my daughter & assumed a gamepad + Wiimote would work. Once I realized it wouldn't I said fuck Nintendo, there not getting another dime from me.....unless they come out with a HD 2D Metroid,
Wii U has been collecting dust every since.....

Same thing happened to me. I was completely dumbfounded when I realized that. I was ashamed when I explained to my son that we wouldn't be able to play together.
Nintendo always has this secret to make things complicated and disappoint.

even if they stealth patched classic controller support the lack of button/stick options would prevent it from doing the tilt levels

YESSS!!!!!! I actually clenched my fists together excitedly when I read this
I wouldn't be surprised if it did work. I mean it works with a Wii remote already!
I'll be happy if it does, but if it doesn't, I was using the Wii remote anyway.

How nice of them to do some actual coding for once.
There are 19 people credited as programmers on NSMBU.

when did they start uploading the patch? last year?
Than I just wouldn't use the SNES gamepad for tilt levels. :V
Well things like spinning and that are already mapped to buttons on the GamePad. It's more the swings and platforms that tilt which are at question

Holy shit!
A Nintendo patch that adds functionality!
I might go back and play it some more now that I can w/ the pro controller.

Wait... you couldn't do this before? I had no idea. The pro controller is great though, I picked one up for Monster Hunter and I love it. This will give me an excuse to go back for some more NSMBU before Luigi hits.

Better late than never I suppose.
The fuck? It didn't ship with pro controller support to begin with?
The fuck?
I still plan on getting it down the line, but what the hell, man...

Why can't I use the gamepad in multi to control a character. That seems like more of a problem.
considering its the packed in fucking controller.

My internet is caca at home so therefore my Wii U cannot connect to internet... but I noticed when I was about to play NSMBU the other day that that particular title was trying to update something...
EDIT: And I did update NSMBU the first time around to add Miiverse support. I think in launch the game hadn't included that in the disk just yet.

While that would be good... I'm ecstatic that the pro-controller is now supported. I'd rather use that than anything else anyways. Only need the gamepad if I'm playing solo and don't want to use TV.
This. Also, I just traded in my pro controller. Fucking hated that thing.
Yeah, afaik the pro controller has no motion sensing.
I guess it will probably just use the shoulder buttons.
But I'm now curious if the pro controller DOES have an undisclosed gyro. Probably not. Has anyone done a teardown of the pro controller?
yes, this needs to be done too.
