Here is what the WiiU Gamepad has been used for on some of Nintendo's biggest games:

New Super Mario Bros U- Boost Mode... yeah you all remeber how much fun tapping blocks into the game was.

 

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze- The screen was turned off -_-

Super Mario 3D World- You could tap to find hidden blocks.

Pilmin 3- Possibly the best use of the gamepad but even then people mostly play this game with a Wiimote and Nunchuck.

 

So Nintendo truly needs a game to show off the gamrpad, a game with mass market appeal.

Mario Kart 8... Nope

Smash Bros... Nope

Super Mario 5... Well what else is really left, but what could they do with it??
