"After receiving a Wii U Deluxe Set, which includes a black console and Wii U GamePad, Ars Technica found out that there’s a mystery connector at the bottom of the new controller. Although the user’s manual says the connector is for controller accessories, there haven’t been any revealed yet."


"In addition to a slot for the charger and a standard headphone jack at the top, the bottom of the tablet GamePad has a mysterious connector at the bottom. The user’s manual says this connector is for “controller accessories,” but none have yet been announced. The connector is a thinner than the Wii Remote connector that was used for things like the Nunchuk and Classic Controller. Karaoke launch game We Sing doesn’t use it either—the microphone that comes with that game plugs into the USB slots on the base system. Curious…"

I predict the Wii U Zapper is gonna be stupidly top heavy, with the GamePad on top.

No the mic is usb. The charger touchs the gold plates like the 3ds dock.
It is an acc port. We just dont know the big N has plan yet.

it's inconvinent because you are limited by how far away you can be from the system. If it plugged into the gamepad you could be as far as you want

We saw that connection at e3 2011.
It's for future expansions.

The two copper strips are for the charging cradle.

I'm sure the accessories will have long cables.

If its anything like the Rock Band mic (almost 10 feet) we have no need to worry.

That's where the Gamepad hooks up in the Blue Falcon, which comes with every copy of F Zero U for Wii U in the Universe. The screen will be used as the games screen because the blue falcon will likely not fit in your house and you may not be able to see a tv well from inside the drivers seat.

I'm going to hope it is so ething more than the Wii U Zapper, but I have a feeling that is what it is.
