This is like 2 minutes of googling so don't rush out and buy anything haha. But I bet we could get something working!

One project I'd like to do at somepoint is a Wii U gamepad with a raspberry pi, since it's already got a nice big spot for a screen, great controls, etc. Running android you could play tons of great games that will take advantage of the dual analog sticks and all that.

Nice! Had the same idea once, but those are horribly overpriced still. 130€ for one and there are nearly no defective ones around.
But you can buy cases and even the screens + touch screen replacements here:

Check ebay for ones with broken screens! They can go for as low as $50. You'd be using a different screen anyway and gutting the internals.

Already did, but it seems here in germany they are really seldom
Well, when i've finished my two projects, they will be as cheap as 15$, for i will take ages to complete them

Ah that stinks. It would make such a good base for a project like that. Plenty of room inside for lots of battery capacity, full-sized pi, etc.

Stop it! You make me want to do this right now

btw, here is the screen, if you want to find one that fits.

Then maybe I shouldn't point out how awesome it would be to route power and hdmi output through something like this for TV-play:
