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?

the boxing section in Wii sports for one, and tennis section as well. A couple of minigames from the Wii Play collection, GE lags sometimes, but that just might be the game. Red Steel 1, I like how you only mentioned the games that use motion+ but we've been talking just wiimote the entire time

I use motion+  because the normal wiimote does not work with the wiiU the only compatible controls for it is the wiimotion+ control not the original wiimote.

So I propose my question to you again as we have that out of the way.

Give me a link where it confirms that you cannot use the Wiimote with the Wii U, that doesnt make any sense its supposed to be FULLY backward compatible. Hell there is only 2o something games that even use the motion+. I dont believe you. If it is true then this would be one of the stupidest things ive seen in gaming since Sony tried to sell the PS3 for 600 bucks

My answer still remains the same, the added motion fidelity only helps with games that heavily rely on motion in the first place, stuff like tennis, anything you have to do to swing anything around really. Not really doing much for say 2d platformers, unless you think shaking the damn controller to get DK to do a simple roll makes it more immersive and better, if you do more power to you.  And FYI the OP was strictly talking about Wiimote as that was what launched with the system and is its default controller anything else is an add-on(wish it had launched with it)

If you go to the section in this Iwata ask with miyamoto the one with wiiu and the wii remote,when miyamoto  says wiiU can use four wii remote controllers, Iwata quickly corrects him and says four wii remote plus controllers (scroll down to see the text).

But then on the official site they say four wii-remote controllers. So maybe for old wii games you can use the old wii-remotes but new wiiU games only the wii-remote+ can be used.I am not even sure now.

And if its potential of the two controllers the wiimote+ counts for me because this shows the original wiimote potential, I think the OP should specify though.
