I think the Gamepad is a versatile controller with poor battery life.
That said, aside from Nintendo Land where Asymmetric Gameplay became both possible and fun OR Miiverse where drawing or typing out messages to fellow gamers in various communities is a cool system level feature, the Gamepad really isn't essential to enjoy vast majority of game designs that work perfectly well without it.
Bottom line the Dual-Analog controller without any touch-screen is extra ordinarily good. Even the Wii Motion+ and Nunchuk combo is sufficiently good. So that leaves the Gamepad basically being an expensive accessory that isn't really necessary when "gamers" are more interested in "games".
As Nintendo has themselves stated, they haven't proven that the Gamepad is needed to improve any of the single player games yet.
