Absolutely FOR. It's a bad ass controller, arguably the best all-in-one controller concept in many years.

The raw potential is there, and even if it's ONLY used for little, subtle touches like Zelda's item screen being always on, on the GP screen, that is still a great use. Not every DS game had to use the touch screen to "justify" it, just the same as not every Wii game had to include some kind of waggle to "justify" being a Wii game. Many great Wii games made little to NO use of motion controls. And that was great. It's no different with Wii U.

The GamePad rocks, period.
