Looks like we might have found out the future price of a Wii U GamePad, through a rather roundabout method. If you need a new GamePad from Nintendo due to issues, Nintendo might end up sending you a brand-new one. That shipment will come with an invoice, which just so happens to include a price. According to those that have received an invoice, the price comes in at $85. Thanks to Jet Pilot for the heads up!
