Always gamepad

For me personally, it's the Wii U Pro Controller, which I think is a very solid controller overall despite some small gripes.

I used to be very much gamepad only, but since purchasing the Pro Controller for DKC: Tropical Freeze, it's fallen out of favor, although I'll admit it's well thought out in regards to ergonomics given it's overall size.

I have yet to touch the Wiimotes outside of playing Skyward Sword for a bit in early 2012.

Unless I'm playing multiplayer and need to use a Wiimote, I always use the Gamepad (which the exception of Pikmin 3, which I use Nunchuck controls with the Gamepad as the map)

Its been fine for me so far, but I might get a Pro Controller at some point for Mario Kart.

Aside from using Wiimotes for multiplayer and Wii games, I only use the Gamepad. Of course, I haven't bought a Pro controller yet, so that could change if I ever pick one up.

In my opinion the pro controller is the most comfortable controller ever created. I use it most of the time. Mostly use the gamepad for off tv play.

I think the Dualshock 4 is a tad bit better, but the pro controller is for the most part a very solid, if not underrated piece of kit......the joystick layout is also a non issue for me. I like it, pissed that Sonic Lost World does not support it.

Most of the time I'm playing off-TV and when I'm not I'm almost always still using the GamePad. Exception being Wii Sports Club and occasionally swapping to the Pro when the battery runs low. Although I assume this will change once Kart is out.

Unless a wiimote/gamepad is required (I try to avoid these games) its just the pro controller for me.

Depends on the game...wind waker HD gamepad. DKTF pro controller. SM3DW either one. Depends what feels right with the game.

Usually the gamepad for most games. For CoD, I usually prefer the pro controller, but sometimes use the Wii remote/nunchuck and also the gamepad(usually in multiplayer for off tv play). I used to use the pro controller for MH3U, but I'm starting to switch to the gamepad because it is easier when using headphones/mic. For most other games I just use the gamepad.

Depends on the game. If I'm playing Pikmin, then the wiimote+nunchuk and gamepad for map. If I'm playing DKC:TF, I use the pro controller. I use the Wii U gamepad for WWHD, MH3U, Rayman Legends, VC titles (Off-TV Play), and etc. So I guess I mostly use the gamepad unless a different controller works better for a game.

Games like Monster Hunter and for the most part, 3D World, I just go with the Pro Controller (kinda wished Rayman Legends allowed this for single player. >.> ). Wind Waker and Pikmin 3 I go with the Pad.

I use the pro controller whenever possible but I do use the gamepad a lot for off tv play. The gamepad is nice but it isn't the most comfortable controller to use.

Pro controller when I'm playing on the TV.

Gamepad when I'm playing in another room.

In the rare occasion I'll use the Wii remote/nunchuck combo (Pikmin 3) and for some games I'll use a controller in conjunction with the Gamepad as a inventory management screen (Wind Waker HD, Monster Hunter, Pikmin).

I mainly use the Pro controller. Every time I use it I can't stop thinking about why they omit the analog trigger....
