Bold Prediction: The Wii U Gamepad isn't going anywhere.

I love the gamepad, so I wouldn't mind! But I would like a new version, this one is very heavy and not very comfortable, also the battery could be better.
But I am expecting the portable nx to be the wii u gamepad substitute, I think it would be nice, playing with it as a controller at home and as a portable anywhere else.
Whatever they do I'm confident that I will like it, after the wii u they are going to surprise us all in a good way.
That or they will fail even harder :P
Also, as some have already mentioned, there's still so much room for developers to create new games based on it.
But somehow I also expect they make a traditional controller like the pro controller from wii u. I have it but I have only used it twice, but I know the majority would prefer that over a redesign of the gamepad.

That all could be easily done when they are releasing stand alone controllers. Think of it like the XBone. They have a standard controller they sell on the side, then the premium that can switch out analog sticks.
