Does it support off-tv play, meaning can you play with only the Gamepad and not the tv screen?

No... unfortunately not. Gamepad is used as a device by your character in the game

Sadly, no,=. This feature is not available in Lego City Undercover. But I really liked the gamepad implementation within the game.

Yes, It's best suited for gamepads, but you can play with a keyboard and mouse

If you could it would ruin the game. This game, better than any other I've played, takes full advantage of the game pad. You would not want to play this with the pro controller if you could. I don't think it is possible anyway.

Hi there...it can be played with either remote..i have used both of them..i find the smaller remote easier to handle when playing the game though.

It really doesn't because all you can do with it is go on youtube. It can also play your music on the tv but ultimately it does not show your screen on the tv screen. You can't play games, it doesn't show anything basically.

Not sure, I have not tried playing a game on it while hooked to the TV, I mainly purchased it to use while traveling to stream Netflix, HULU , MAXGO, HBOGO and other videos. Which it works great for, I'll have to tryout other things in the future to see if they work on there as well.

I have never used it for games, but there is an option to select a game mode instead of the theater mode. Hope this helped a little bit.

It doesn't connect to the gamepad. It comes with a cable that plugs it into the USB port on the back of the console for charging.

You can play some Android games offline that don't require an Internet connection. It does support the Android steam application, but I don't think you can launch games from the mobile steam application.

It varies by mini game. There are some that pit game pad player vs the others with remotes who use the television to play. There are others that don't use the game pad at all, if I recall correctly, and some that use the game pad flat on its back like an old school two player Pac-Man game. The game comes with a small collapsible stand that will hold the pad flat. Lots of variety to the way the mini games use the Wii U.

Yes, I would suggest you use the gamepad because its more fun interacting with Super Mario 3D. However, there is the option of not using the gamepad so the chose is up to you. Thanks!!

Absolutely. Just press and hold the X-Box button (the big "X" at the top of the remote) and it acts the same as the central button on the game pad. It will bring up the option to turn off the console and you simply need to arrow up and hit the center round and bingo. Off it goes.Keep in mind that it is an IR remote and only has a limited sideways variance (I'd say 30 degrees max) so you'll need a pretty clear line of sight and be standing just about in front of the console for it to pick up the signal.Edit: depending on the age of your son and how tech savvy he is, he can cancel your command with his game controller.

Yes. I believe that you need to start the game with the gamepad and then you can switch or have player 2 use the pro controller.

It can be played quite easily with a keyboard and mouse. I don't own a gamepad, so I don't know if using that makes it any better or worse, but a keyboard and mouse works just fine:)

You can play offline. The headphones work with the TV, not necessarily the game console. I want to say I've listened to TV before through the headset.

Yes that is correct. Be aware though that for some reason it may make your connection a little finicky dependent upon the device. For example USB drives may get weird errors, but a game pad controller will work fine. I am uncertain as to why that is.
