The promise of second screen experiences was all the rage during the pre PS4 and XB1 launches and the Wii U has certainly embraced the idea via its gamepad. However, the prior two haven't actually delivered all that much and knowing which titles support it is difficult. So, I thought it might be nice to have a list of all the console games that support second screen experiences for anyone interested in trying it.
Just to clarify, I'm not talking about cross-console multiplayer. Nor am I referring to RemotePlay. I define a second screen experience as follows:
For example, when someone is playing a console game and they or a friend can have a second device connected via wireless or wire and it displays things like a map, an additional interface or even the ability to control another aspect of the game being played.
Anyone interested in contributing to this list? I'll update this post and the second as more come in.

Just to clarify, I'm not talking about cross-console multiplayer. Nor am I referring to RemotePlay. I define a second screen experience as follows:
"When another (typically small) screened device such as a smartphone, tablet, portable games console, etc., provides a view, interface or even game mode into a console game that is unique from what is currently being displayed on the TV."
For example, when someone is playing a console game and they or a friend can have a second device connected via wireless or wire and it displays things like a map, an additional interface or even the ability to control another aspect of the game being played.
