I find the gamepad to be a novelty for basically 95% of Wii U games. Most use it as a 'map' or it replicates what is shown on the TV anyway. It is just an un-needed expense unlike the Wii motion controls which were integral to most of the defining games on the Wii. The majority of people just don't see it as justified much like the Kinect. Just my opinion.

What games are you playing because most of the games I have played uses the pad is used well. Having your menus at a glance rather than having to pause is a plus and worth it. I wish I had the pad for Zelda orcarina of time. Constantly having to pause to changing boots in the water temple became a pain.

Come on man... Having the screen used as a menu is not a pivotal reason for the gamepad. Games like NintendoLand use the gamepad much much better. Games like that actually showcase how the screen can be used in an innovative and functional way, not simply for displaying a map/menu/health vitals.
