I'm willing to bet that the majority of WiiU owners at this stage are multi-platform owners. If that is the case then this is a really bad idea. Unless the Gamepad usage is excellent, as a multi-platform owner why would you buy the WiiU version of a game if it's missing features or modes?
Publishers are condemning themselves to selling only to people who don't have another console (small percentage of early adopters) and furthermore those people have to be ok with the fact that you are selling them a version of the game with missing features for the same cost.
In principle this pushes a game into no-buy territory for me, unless it is otherwise an absolute must-have or there is nothing else to buy. They might have gotten away with this three months ago on the WiiU, but not in the next three months.
