One game not using it isn't going to make a difference to the 100 something others that do use it in some manner.
Games as recently as 3D world literally can't be played without a gamepad as player one, and this isn't a rare thing on the U.
Not many developers have implemented the gamepad in a worthwhile way, from what I hear. Of course, I'm also open to this: https://twitter.com/delroth_/status/332179135411654656
Wii U gamepad emulation on PC. The buttons can be controlled with a 360 controller, and screentaps with the mouse. Hope it goes public eventually; I saw a nice Wii U sans-gamepad for around $120 on ebay the other day. If the gamepad is doing as poorly as people say that it is, and it truly is just a minimap/inventory accessory, then I could definitely live with just emulating one and skipping out on the few games that make heavy use of its unique capabilities (in ways other than the ones previously mentioned, as again, I can live without if all its going to be is a minimap).
