It...actually doesn't bother me that much. Nintendo did say that the system could work with 4 tablets, but wouldn't be focusing on it from launch because of price. So I'm not worried.

I'm going to be the (arguably reasonable) fanboy I am and trust in Nintendo's claim that 4 tablets work fine.

Even if that's not the case, I like the Wii Remote + Nunchuck better than even the gamecube controller, so I'll be fine.
(Not that it matters too much. I'm buying the console, so by brothers will bow down to MY controller regulations >: D)

The only thing that irks me a bit is that you can't use Gamecube controllers. It's just so comfortable playing smash on one of those things so I guess I'll have to get used to the Wii-mote and Nun-chuck because if those thumb pads are anything like the 3DS's then it's gonna be a real pain to try to do quick smash attacks with them.

So other then that I don't really care how many tablet controllers will work with it as I'll only get one considering the other types of controllers work with the system.

Even if it was just one controller I'm fine with it because you can play five people at once on one console. I know the PS3 is capable of supporting seven controllers simultaneously so I confident Nintendo will be capable supporting four tablets we just have to wait and see Nintendo's move on this situation.

Doesn't bother me too much. Most of my school is Nintendo hater, including most of my friends, so I won't get a lot of friends to play with.
My brother is studying somewhere else, so I probably won't even get a second controller.

My answer: I will still buy it... Someday.

Nintendo has been vague but I am sure we'll see multiple tablets running on one system.

everyone who's held it has said that these sliders are different to the 3DS ones. they say its hard to explain but they're more of a mix between sliders and analogue sticks :)

I really think Local Multiplayer is a thing of the past to be honest (unfortunately) and as such I am not to bothered how many tablets are supported as I'd only really need one, at a push two.

I dont really care tbh. To me the Wii U controller is just a bonus thing. As long as they keep supporting WiiMote/ Nunchuk combo I dont mind. Im not getting the Wii U for the controller, Im getting it for the games.

Word is that Nintendo is working on getting the system ready for 2 tablet gameplay by launch and I think that is very much possible.

I could only see four tablet multiplayer gameplay working if the game isn't graphics-intensive.

But what would be the point of buying 4 tablets when you could just play multiplayer with wii remotes though?

I'm leaning towards two tablets at most.

But the new controller is what will bring alot of new gameplay possibilities to the console.

You know what guys?
It's amazing how the the human mind does not process the the fact I used the word "the" twice in a row in this sentence.

The controller is sub-HD, so if a game only uses the controller for something like an inventory or move selection, it would be very hard to be too intensive for the system, even if it does look nice. Playing the game on the controller is a different story, but that's not a time in which you would play multiplayer anyway.

And Wii Remotes lack A LOT of what the U tablet has. Who would want to play Mario Party 10 (11?) with 3 people drawing with the Wii remote and 1 person drawing on the Tablet? Who would want to tag in/out of Dead or Alive and have to switch controllers every time they do so? Who would want to play a multiplayer RPG in which, while the two Tablet users can do so at any time, the third and fourth players have to actually pause the game in order to mess with their inventory/enter buildings?

Tablet > Motion in many cases.
