new wiiU update..lets you play wii games with off-tv play

you can now play wii games using the wiiU gamepad as the tv...no need to hog your tv anymore for wii gamming :)

let the nintendo bashing begin..

So you have to point your nunchuck and wiimote at the tablet controller? lol

So far the wiiu purchase has been a colossal waste of money.

Ohhh, Wii games.  For a second I was like wtf, this isnt new.

neato, might use that here and there.

it begins...

It's the truth though. I didn't pick up a wiiu to play wii games either. I have a wii for that.

How would you play nearly all the games considering they use waggle? Skyward Sword would be impossible to play that way. Capitan_Kid

It will be a joy.

That's going to be a joy to play. Rest the gamepad on my lap. Aim wii mote at sensor bar under the tv... thank you nintendo for this amazing idea.

no...the gamepad has its own sensor bar.. you aim it at the gamepad not the tv.

That's awesome for games that don't need motion controls.

Really, that's cool.

Oh, goodie. Do you really think it's practical? This reeks of uncomfortable gaming. I much rather fire up the wii , and turn on the tv. 

what were people expecting for off tv gameplay? How else would you play a wii game? im sure they'll eventually add CC emulation for the gamepad eventually. you asked for off tv support for wii, and there it is. stop complaining and buy some games and show there is audience for the damn system then maybe ur crying will be justified. W101 just bombed and there are ppl still clamoring for a new IP from nintendo. y'all always complaining.

There lies the problem: there is a minimum distance for using the Wiimote. If you're too close, then it won't work properly. This means sitting quite a distance from a small screen, trying to see what's going on. That sounds really fun to me. >.>

Yeah it really just seems like a hassle all around to play most Wii games like this.  But it is just another option, maybe someone will have use for it.

Yay! lets all whine about extra features :D 

You can't control Wii games using the analog sticks on the Gamepad? What's the point? Might as well play on the big screen. 

Could be cool with some games.

xenoblade..

Now I can play Xenoblade while on the toilet.

I was.  Do you feel violated?

Play what?silversix_

Fantastic. I think I'll utilize this for Xenoblade. :) Wonder how well it works with the Virtual Console software of the Wii. 

So does this mean you can play Wii VC games on the gamepad without paying $1 to port it over?
