In won't go anywhere in the sense that motion controls didn't go anywhere after the Wii U launched. The Wii U supports motion control, but it's not a key feature. The NX might support the gamepad, but it will be as a standalone accessory/BC with Wii U gamepads.

Agreed, though I do think due to the NX having a gamepad style controller itself, the gamepad will be implemented much better with NX than the wiimote was for Wii U. 

I think that's obvious.

Though I don't think the NX gamepad will be the same as the Wii U gamepad. Ideally, it'll be far more advanced, more ergonomic, and smaller.

NX will have classic controller, buy Wii U gamepad will be used for BC, Wii U games.

Some people didn't think the NX would be backwards compatible, going X86 architecture, and others thought it wouldn't have a gamepad at all. May have been obvious to you though.

*Edit* In fact, read Miyamotoo's posts.

Wii U gamepad is one of reasons why Wii U failed, I don't think they will give another shot for completely new platform.

If the NX is a hybrid console, it will be far more intrigal to the system.

I'm not one of those people. I think he's gloriously incorrect.

We dont know yet.. :) for all we know its just to replace thoose that are broken.. (and mayby for giving people same control in games that uses TV vs pad)

And I also thinks its more fair to say.. can use the gamepad.. :)

Yeah, that would be the reason why they wouldn't use it again.
