People complaining about the GamePad complain about how Nintendo managed to design it so that such a simple piece of plastic with a primitive screen costs so much to manufacture, that it increases the price of the console significantly.
Nice bundle, surprised you only plan to buy so few games. Even I'd buy more and I'm not a Nintendo first guy and complain about the number of worthwhile games on Wii U 
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
