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.

With that said, then the Wiimote will also be able to be used on NX as well since certain Wii U games (Mario Party 10) doesn't focus on using the gamepad.  Unless NX backwards compatibility is limited to certain games.
