Forget sales, would you like Wii U as much without the Gamepad?

[Nuvendil]

Actually, no. I think the premise of the Wii U is currect in terms of what a console should be: a unique device capable of delivering special experiences.

It's not my type of game personally, but Kirby and the Rainbow Curse with it's unique asymmetric multiplayer is only possible on Wii U. And that's awesome. Now they haven't taken advantage of the gamepad as much as they should have, but the potential is still great and it makes the console unique.
