Thanks mate.
But... They press the home button. Isn't switching between TV and GamePad what the "TV" button is for?
Although your intuition makes sense, I think the TV button is actually to pull up the universal remote. Which is apparently something that can be done when the U is off. But when playing a game, yeah, you'd think they'd just let or even demand that developers map the switching with that.
The weird thing is a game like Nano Assault Neo seems to have you switch to the GamePad screen via a pause menu, while Mass Effect uses the Home button. Not sure about NSMB U or others. But so far, it doesn't appear to be standardized like it should be, at least not yet. Also, using Home to switch like in Mass Effect makes little sense.

Kid Icarus U appears on Amazon
I don't know if we can read too much into that, since that team is apparently fully devoted to Brawl right now. Not the first time that rumor has started though. But really, taking the 3DS version as a basis and prettying it up could make a great game. Using the Wii Remote / nunchuck instead of the stylus could make a lot of the people who were turned off by the control method happy, so it makes sense. In fact, that scheme seems perfect for it. Plus, it was a fun game, so I'd like to see a sequel. Maybe a B-team could do the bulk of it with the Smash guys just checking progress and making notes, since the groundwork has already been laid.

So is it assumed that Panarama view will be a pack in app? Weren't some retailers listing it as a stand alone game for a bit? Or was it just a tech demo for press conferences and we the consumers won't get to use it?
No one's mentioned it and I haven't seen it in any write-ups lately. I would think the same as you though. One of those things that are kind of neat but not an experience I would pay money for (I haven't used it, though). I could see it as a FaceRaiders / AR Cards type of pack in. Maybe one demo scene with the rest being DLC for those that enjoy it.

I want Wii U to have demos of all games day 1. Believe.
I would certainly hope so. They have demos for key games at all these events, so they're already created. No effort to upload those to their server to let people check out what's coming up and what they haven't purchased yet. It's Nintendo though, so I'm not counting on it.
