that is not how it works man.
but i guess off screen play is a gimmick?
what about Zombi U? that makes a large use of the gamepad .
what about the asymatry is has given?
what about the nintendo land games? they show many great uses.
what about the precision input that you get from a resistive screen? because of it you can put MMO's and RTS games on the system!
im sorry man you are totally off base. It is not a gimmick and you just want it to be.
ZombiU from all the critic and user reviews isn't that good, so I haven't bothered with it. Maybe the game uses the GamePad but the game itself according to most people isn't good?

The off-screen play is great, but it doesn't work for every game which is what the consumer assumes when purchasing a Wii U.
Nintendo Land I will actually agree is the best game on the Wii U that utilizes that GamePad, and I've had a blast playing Nintendo Land. I would love to buy another game like Nintendo Land that uses the GamePad as well, but there is currently nothing out there.
I doubt we will see an MMO come to the Wii U, because games like Diablo 3, Warframe and FFXIV are the biggest MMOs coming out for the consoles right now and Nintendo has already missed out on that.
I could see a game like Blizzard's Hearthstone being used on the GamePad.

If this was on the Wii U, the console would sell like crazy. It's casual and made by Blizzard, everyone buys Blizzard games. If Diablo 3 can come to the PS3/PS4 which is something nobody was expecting, I don't see why this game couldn't come to the Wii U. It would make the GamePad a huge deal again.
See? I'm not so negative, I do have faith that the GamePad is going to eventually grow like all consoles do. But when I say it's a gimmick, I am saying at this point in time with the current games available I've found hardly any use for the GamePad which is very sad. If someone asks me "hey is the GamePad cool" this is what I would tell them.
