Every game Ive owned so far that has alternative control methods (to the pad), I opted for the alternative...
Which was annoying with pikmin 3 as I still used the screen on the pad in conjunction with the nunchuck/wiimote plus...it was a mess. Try accessing the pad with the damn wiimote hanging from your wrist!!!

Anyway, I agree...the wii u doesnt need the pad. Im hoping nintendo downplay its importance very soon (maybe repackage the console without it/make it an optional extra)but I cant see it happening. Wii's successor should have just been an improved wii. That was all I was expecting. Like what the snes was to the nes.
