The gamepad should have been optional. All it does is greatly increase cost, and make developers uncomfortable trying to figure out something to add to their multiplat game on Wii U, to make it look like they put some effort into using the second screen.

I can see where Nintendo could be headed. The second screen basically turns the console into a giant DS. That and merging the console and handheld departments... I was hoping to see some clever WiiU/3DS multiplatform games already though. It's just Super Smash Bros. as of now right? Nintendo isn't even making that.
