Speculation is that the standalone gamepad is to enable the NX backwards compatible. Without it, you probably wont be able to play WiiU games.

I agree that it wont be going anywhere until perhaps the end of the NX span.

No doubt, which is a good thing in my opinion. There was so much potential that did not get realized this gen, and I'm hoping to see it actually implemented next. Even if the NX gamepad could be taken anywhere, the Wii U standalone gamepad could be great for local multiplayer, and would more than likely be cheaper than an NX controller.
