Does the WiiU's Gamepad have more potential than the Wiimote?

I think people are confusing what the developers used the wii mote for and not the actual potential of the wiimote and nunchuck.

As a person that has been using the traditional controllers for over 20 years I have to say that the wiimote nunchuck combo is superior in almost every genre bar some like 2d games, fighting games and probably fifa (I like traditional controls for fifa).

Aiming in 3d games have always been slow in dual analog, that's why developers compensate for it by either having that auto lock snap feature or as with most 3d shooters slow gameplay.
Are people really going to tell me RE4 played better with DA than on wii. Really?

Well FPS games are just better with wii and nunchuck. Most sports games are infinetly better with the wiimote and is more fun to play with it. Did anyone play Tiger woods with motion+? Have anyone ever played 2 player table tennis on wii sports resort probably one of the best games this gen(and that's a minigame).

And to the person about okami, that game was a lot more fluid with the wiimote and it improves the gameplay a lot as rol already said the problem was not the wiimote (as I already said developer misuse should not be confused with potential).

And think about it if developers couldn't use the wiimote properly or take full advantage of it, what makes you think they would use the gamepad to its full potential. Think about it

that makes no sense, the Wiipad is just a controller with a screen, think about it, you dont think that a regular controller has pretty much been mastered? Its going to be much easier to deal with than the wiimote ever was.

the sport analogy is all wrong, I dont count those mini game collections as actual sports. Those fall more in line with the minigame compilation. There are really only two sports that really take advantage of the wiimote. Tennis and golf. that is in no way indicative of the actual sports genre. What about the Maddens, Fifas, NBAs, the actual games that are popular?

FPS is kind of hit or miss IMHO. Conduit did a good job, but GE? Not so much, had to do alot of heavy tweaking just so i could freaking turn quickly in an online match, which is ironic because it was supposed to be easier than DA

You know you actually prove my points with your post.

@ Underlined because the wiipad is just a traditional controller (limiting its potential) with a screen on it ,as you said,this proves my point that it will just be used by developers as a traditional controller, they will barely utilize the touch screen in any meaningful way probably only maps and inventory.

@bold 1. The important thing there is YOU, just because YOU don't count them as "sports" game does not mean in any way, shape, or form that their gameplay is not that of sports game. I think its called moving the hockey net or something like that. I could agree with fifa. And actually I think you would need to combine the sales of fifa, madden and NBA to reach wii sports resort.

@bold 2. Again this proves my point about developer misuse, as you said  conduit was done good, GE was done bad, is this a fault of the wiimote or the developer???
