Can i play multiplayer Wiiu games on a gamepad and a wii remote?

I'm buying a wii U with a gamepad, and i have money leftover to buy a wii remote alongside it, which i was going to do, but then i read somewhere that i need TWO wii remotes to play multiplayer on the wiiu.

Is that true? I'm mostly interested in play super smash bros, but things like mario kart and super mario bros U as well.

Best Answer

I can personally confirm it is possible to play two player with only one Wii U Gamepad and one Wiimote for many games including Super Smash Bros Wii U.

Compatibility purely depends on what the supported controllers are for the game. (e.g. some games are Wiimote only)
