Games like Mario Kart 8 and Pikmin 3 are especially unforgivable with just how little thought they put into the Game-Pad and games like SM3DW just tacked it on unnecessarily on random levels as if to say "hey, uh, remember that thing?". It was a cool gimmick but they've used it so poorly its actually become something of a bane on the console.

I think my bitterness with Wii U is showing again. Whoops. But seriously, ONE game not named Nintendoland that actually put effort into the Gamepad would be great.

I understand you wanting more use of the Gamepad, but let's face it it only holds 3 hours of battery life and having to use it in order to use the Wii U's internet feels like a step back for me after how easy it was to use the Wii's Internet with just the Wii Remote.

Also having to program a game to use it takes time and I'm sure lots of 3rd Party guys just want their games being ready ASAP in order to get money.

Yes I'm aware of the 10 hour pack you can put into the Gamepad but so far how many people ever know about that, let alone care? You can force people to use the Gamepad but unless something's done about it's charging problems nobody's going to use it like you want it too.

Besides we might be getting new Gamecube controllers for SSB4. It might not happen but I can dream, right?
