I myself thought that they would go the extra mile and make motion controlling the future (or at least a good part of it), but it seems Kinect took that role. Also, companies brought few ideas to the table (some great ones like Excitebots, No More Heroes, Zack and Wiky and others not so good - I am looking at you, Lucas Arts) but up to this day I feel that motion controls could have been so much better and more intense. I play for the experiences and Wii U has not shown me nothing new, so I am waiting. So in my case, and to add to your proposition, it was not their decision of abandoning simplicity , but the lack of ideas that got me pessimistic. In tech terms, I am much more impressed by the Kinect 2 and its possibilities, but then again it is a hard guess to believe that companies will come up with good ideas for it. The world of gaming is kinda stale and my expectations are very low. I want to like the Wii U and I care for the company since the GC is the only Nintendo console that I've never had, but I don't know if the U is the answer. Hope they can prove me wrong as they did during the N64 age.
I wrote this very fast so I don't know if it makes any sense lol (I should be studying godammit).

Nintendo has not abandoned motion controls. Infact they're better than ever in PIkmin 3. Honestly the Kinect 2.0 is just a Wii Remoter + lacking one very important feature. IR pointing. I know this from personal hands on with it. Its nothing new, the wii remote still beats it out with its prcision, the IR and the gyroscope functionality.
As for the Gamepad, well 2014 will be the year Nintendo shows what they're truly about. What we see this year is what they need to get fans of longtime Nintendo franchises on board. They really dont have them yet. You saw what Pokemon just did for the 3DS in America eh?

It took me a while to come back, but here we go:
I'm happy you say motion controls are good in Pikmin 3. But there is no innovation in the new Remotes, right? I even heard some site saying that the GamPad (!?!) had a few more movement axys not present on the remotes. I don't see myself spinning a 500g, large control if that is what Nintendo is saying is new.
