By now, it'll do more bad than good... especially more so considering Nintendo's 3 major games this year (Splatoon, Super Mario Maker and Star Fox Zero) all make good use of the Gamepad.

From what I've seen and played, only Mario Maker does. Not Splatoon, and definitely not the abomination. 

You haven't played Splatoon.

It makes great use of the gamepad.

Isnt the only things available on the screan a map, then when you die you can click a friend and warp to him? something that can be done with a list, since it only happens at reaspan, and a regular minimap on the big screen.

Wait so just to get this right, you don't own the system or haven't even played the games using one of your friends systems? That would be like someone who has never used a PC before looking at one and questioning why it has a keyboard and mouse, I mean so few games use all those buttons, why not just drop the rest and leave WASD or better yet just use a classic controller?

This thread (albeit suggesting to lose the pad not loose it) has been done and done, it would probably be best to leave the critical thinking about a system to those who have at least attempted to play on it to some degree.
