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

Sales wise it wont have the same impact that the Wiimote had but depth in controls of games yes it will be.

Besides fighting games I would really like to hear from people what games they think a wii motion+ and nunchuck (or an improved wiimote) can't handle. Really what genres are people talking about?

Any game that doesn't involve aiming is better played on a regular wired controller, because with motion controls you have to play with a wireless controller that does have lag (a wired wiimote is obviously a bad idea).

I never experienced any noticeable lag when playing motion controlled games on my wii (like skyward sword or redsteel 2) do you have a specific example?

Measuring lag in controllers is a pain in the ass for obvious reasons, but here's a video with a 360 and a PS3 controller. Both the PS3 and the Wiimote use bluetooth, so the lag should be similar (probably worse with the wiimote due to the big dead zone needed in motion controls, because the hand of the player can't be completely static).

It's only a few frames, but they can be the difference between life and death.
