A capacitive touchscreen would be a step back for the WiiU. While capacitive touchscreens have advantages, they allow only the input with fingers, while the resistive touchscreens allow both, fingers and stylus. The higher accuracy of a stylus allows better drawings, something that is currently much used in Miiverse. Some people have really great skills at that. With capacitive touchscreen your drawings would be inferior.

Also Yoshis fruitcart would be really frustrating with capacitive touch: some fruits are directly besides traps, it would be nearly impossible to solve that with fingers.

pro capacitive:
* multitouch
* better responsiveness for input with fingers

pro resistive:
* better accuracy with stylus (allowing drawings)
* allowing input from stylus AND fingers

I thought there also are stylus for capacitive available ?

Wacom for example making them ...

so all pros are now also on the capacitive ones ...

but I dont think we need a capacitice one ... the resistive is doing its job well enough for what it should do.
But dont say its better because you only can use stylus on that one. Its cheaper and its doing it fine would be better :)
