It was never confirmed if the Wii U would support more than two tablet controllers at any one time. But a "trusted game development executive" has said "there are numerous indications within the Wii U codebase that the console is, at the very least, being prepared to operate with two touch-screen pads."
Here's what the source said:
At E3 they didn’t commit to this, but they know how important it is to make it technically feasible to support two screens. Even if that affects framerate, as a developer and player, I don’t care. It needs to work. Developers will design appropriate games for this. If you’re building a quiz game you’re not going to give a rainbow about the framerate.
And yeah, that's hard to argue with. It may be a bit expensive and a development challenge to support two controllers, but it'll make the Wii U so much more varied in what it can do.
