I was so hoping for a D&D style game where the DM uses the gamepad while the others used the TV, like what Mike at Penny Arcade proposed.

The primary reason the Wii U flopped is because of the high expectations Nintendo has created for itself. Everyone remembers the awesomeness Nintendo is known for and when they dont match that everyone bags on em. Wii U was a great system just not as stellar as some of the releases Nintendo is known for.
