Calm your tits. Just because I'm not a Nintendo fan, it doesn't mean I'm a hater.

I myselef never complained about any sort of waggling controls. Why? Because I never bought a Wii to begin with. The funny thing is that I was so excited when it was first announced. Good thing I did my reserach though. I saw that the technology was just a gimmick. 

Now comes Wii U. In my opinion, I say let developers do what they want with the Wii U. If they get ideas to use the Gamepad in a MEANINGFUL way....then do it. If not then don't. There is a Wii U Pro controller for a reason.

Thats what I can tell you: to calm your tits. The wii mote wasn't a gimmick and neither is the pad. Both are great input devises. No more or less gimmicky than duall analogs.

how the fuck are dual analogs gimmicky when they are essential to every game made?

Really? Dual analog sticks are essential to "every game made?"

What planet are you from?

They pretty much are. Use an analog stick to move, and the other to control the camera. Now, if a game doesn't allow one or both of these things....then that's a totally different discussion.
