You see this? You give this to your friend, you say "Fuck you, this is all you get."
Look at me! I got all this shit here, I'm in control motherfucker!
AVGN quote sums up this issue nicely.
I have no problem using the remote and if I had a choice, I'd play with the remote over the WiiPad. I don't care about any of this at all. As long as they pack in a remote and nunchuck in the package, I'm all good. They should also have a stand for the pad to sit on so that it's easy to use both when needed.
