It would be kinda nice if they gave the gamepad another shot with the NX. I still feel it has a lot of untapped potential. But it may not be wise either to hold onto the gamepad.

Honestly, the inclusion of the gamepad would mean more market confusion. They might as well call it the Wii U2.

I disagree if the name of the console is different. It's like how the PS4 has a very similar controller as the PS3. They could also change the look of the controller, but it still basically be a gamepad that comes with the system. You can just add gamepads for multiplayer and backwards compatibility.

So why release the Wii U gamepad as a standalone controller when the NX one will be different? It serves no purpose.
