This.
I've grown to love the gamepad. I still think it could use a physical redesign, but functionality wise, it's amazing. No more "Just let me get to a save point" when the girlfriend wants to watch some TV, It's comfortable to hold, and I use the universal remote function many times every single day.

Well then you missed the ENTIRE point of what I was saying. I'm not arguing the gamepad is useless. I'm arguing that there is a disconnect between hardware and software philosophies.

I do agree that Nintendo needs some more stuff to show off the gamepad, but there were alot of games on the Wii that did'nt use motion controls for anything other than being short on buttons. Donkey Kong,Brawl,NSMB,Twilight Princess and both Kirbys were all pretty standard games, in terms of how they were played. Wii U does'nt have a Wii Sports going for it yet though. I thought some of the stuff in Wii Party U and NintendoLand did a great job at showcasing the gamepad, but I would like to see a really big title integrate it in a big way.
