Nope. Terrible for fighting games. Analog nubs/sticks are terrible for platformers. Analog nubs would be terrible for precision aiming in shooters. One button is not enough for an action game like Zelda, especially not one I need to control my camera with. I won't like it.

Garbage controller. Hope it's fake. Third party aren't stupid and won't like this trash either.

Funny, when I read the OP, I double checked to see if it was you. Usually, you'd be the one seeing the potential in Nintendo's approach. You not liking it is scary. But I'm gonna keep an open mind and wait till E3. At the end of the day, the major driving force after the Wii U would be profit. They wouldn't make something they don't think would sell well. They know the casual market belongs to smartphones and tablets now. The core gamers are shared between PC and consoles. So the gap to bridge is that between PC and consoles, not smartphones and consoles. I remember reading an article on how the gamepad would have been a more attractive sell had the Wii U launched with games like Dota and Starcraft. I'll wait for E3 and hope that Nintendo gives me a console with all the nintendo-ness I need (motion and touch controls) and all the standard stuff third parties need (high end specs, regular controls).
If I can get third party AAA games on my Nintendo console, my other 2 consoles will rarely be used, except when good exclusives come out. Even now, I play my Wii U more than my PS3, XBO, Vita and 3DS.
