I'll give you Mario Maker, I played Splatoon IMHO there isnt anything the gamepad does that is integral to the experience, it would have been fine without it.

But even then thats what? 3 games since it released in 2012? 4 if we are counting Ninty land? I just think its pathetic that the thing that was supposed to sell the console got so little done with it. Hell Ive seen add ons do more.

I partially agree with you, it just seemed pretty biased to only point out a single game that made bad use of the Gamepad without acknowledging ones that made good use of it and i personally agree with you about Splatoon but i know of alot of people who really like the Gamepad for jump spots and the map.

 

While I like the Gamepad for certain things, Off-TV play being the biggest one, overall I think it was a poor design choice. People compare it to the Wii Remote alot but that had an actual purpose whereas the Gamepad really doesnt and should have just been an optional accessory for map/inventory & Off-TV play.

Oh that was just one example. It isnt even about the gamepad being used poorly, its about that it wasnt being used at ALL really. Its like what was the point of even having it? 

IMHO I think anything that isnt going to be truly standard and works with damn near ALL the games for the system should be an add on. That goes for motion controls too but thats a different discussion
