Okay, now that the WiiU lets you play Wii games on the game pad, why does it require the TV to be on in order to boot directly to the Wii menu???

    It doesn't,but it requires some guesswork though.They just don't want people thinking they can play Wii games with just a gamepad.

    Massive oversight IMO, especially if your WiiU pad lives in another room

    Yeah.Hey,can't you select the options on the tv with the Wiimote's d-pad?It'd be pretty easy then.

    It does Brandon, it barfs up an error message saying "the WiiU screen will need to be displayed on the tv until the Wii menu opens"

    Yes, but if you do that with the tv off, it tells you to turn it on in order to continue, despite the new ability to play on the gamepad
