You would still need a TV to set up the systen sadly.
But yes, you can play most games full from the gamepad after that.

So is this a one time set up? Because there's a TV I could use very easily to do so.
Yeah you just need it to sync the controller and set up your account. After that you can boot right from the controller into any game and play it (provided it has off TV play).
And the recycled IPs from the past 10 years.

Ha, for me it was the other way around! I was looking for the Basic set but the sodding thing was being phased out locally at the time. I ended up getting the black NSMBU Deluxe set instead. White electronics > black electronics though ;D.
You are correct. You can operate the Wii U without a TV as well as play all Off-TV compatible games (Nintendo Land, Zombi U and The Cave are the only games I know of that require a TV). EDIT: beaten
And how are you enjoying the fresh, exciting new IPs on your Xbone and PS4?
Oh, that beautiful age when kids start playing COD. Enjoy the wild ride.

Yet the "recycled IP's" feel fresh and consistently provide quality gaming experiences.
But your post is really informative and useful for this thread. Those two consoles definitely have very interesting and unique gaming experiences coming through, not completely generic retreads of the last generation.
I don't fall into that category, Not a fan of COD, but that's a third party publisher...I thought we are refering to 1st Party?
I haven't seen a Halo game released almost every other year for the past 20 some odd years man.
In the end to each their own, if you want to play the 26th iteration of Super Mario that's on you man, I can't hate...

I dunno about you guys, but I'm just gonna
...ignore his blatant drive-by trolling attempt and get on with my day.
Yet, coming from E3 Nintendo and indies seemed like the only ones willing to create and not recycle old ideas.

Would you kindly go back to 2002 and leave the thread?
I'm trolling by saying that I almost picked up a WiiU but decided otherwise? God forbid if I have a preference...good lord man..
I'm 31 years old, if I'm not old enough now to get back into them I never will.

Stop feeding the trolls.
All they want is to derail the discussion so the thread gets closed.

So just because my opinion differs from you I'm a troll? mmkay... I've conveyed my thoughts without dropping inappropriate verbage and jargon...
