So I just read this article and it says that you can play Wii games on the Wii U gamepad because of the censor bar on the gamepad so im probably going to be buying a lot of Wii games at launch too now like Xenoblade and Monster Hunter tri

heres the link: http://mynintendonew...-wii-u-gamepad/

Edit: Also Black and White Wii U confirmed So YAY!!! the hype train is at full speed right now

you can use the controller as a screen, instead of the TV? it's good to a certain extent but why would you want to do that, its too small. i want to be able to play games on the gamepad only and use it as the controller at the same time
i understand it would be difficult for games that originally had a wiimote and nunchuck to play, but what about games that used the classic controller? those games would be able to be played on the controller, as a screen and controller at the same time.

That would be a really good feature for some games, but others that use motion control would kind of suck.

Yay good news

[jono]

So now I could play Wii and Wii U games in the car.

That is if you have a Wii U and electrical outlet in your car.

That's exactly what I mean. My car doesn't have a tv so I could just play on the controller with an electrical outlet.

Wait your car actually has an electrical outlet! That's cool.

I don't think that's possible you have to be in range of the console signals because the console does all the processing power and it's streamed to the controller.

[kris1206]

I wouldn't mind playing galaxy and mario bros wii on it with just the gamepad (not using the wii remote and nunchuck) but some games would be a bit difficult to play like skyward sword where you would probably need a gamepad XL to be able to concentrate properly assuming you would prop it up

I thought I remember reading somewhere that Nintendo scrapped the idea of having that 'black strip' on the GamePad as a sensor bar?

[BanjoKazooie]

It would be really hard to see in my opinion, I'm sticking with the good old fashioned 70 inch television

Please read the posts before.
YOU COULD CONNECT THE CONSOLE TO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET.

LOL my bad then i guess you can do that have fun i guess

[Hamez]

I thought this was a given when we found out that there was a sensor bar on the GamePad. I don't see many other purposes for it.

[Auzzie Wingman]

The sensor bar would have to be on there for that Wii U Golf presentation they had when it was revealed or whatnot.

[Nollog]

I probably wouldn't use it at all, but it's a good feature. I might not want to turn on my tv to play a game, so if I'm feeling particularly lazy one day I can do so.
