Overall it's not used at all, except in random levels where it controls the camera or a few platforms. Overall even Nintendo can't really find great uses for it, so why should any of us be surprised that 3rd party developers can't either?
It's not like 3D Land on the 3DS makes inspired use of the second screen either. Nintendo have said they are going to focus hard on making games that take advantage of the controller so I guess we will have to wait and see what they come up with. You would think it would be heavily integrated into games like the next Zelda how the motion plus was on the Wii.
