Is there a chance that you will ever be able to play Wii games on the gamepad

Not necessarily using it as a controller, just having the out put there and still using the normal Wiimote + Nunchuck

Hardware wise?

that would be awesome... using the gamepad to have off-tv play on wii games...

put i think it would require a complete overhaul of the wii emulator or coding...because you would need the option to switch to the gamepad at the wii start up menu.

Never

Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they're talking about

NO.

Think real carefully about the control setup on the Wii (think about the Wiimotes), think about how the Wii U handles BC with a Wii mode...NO, it won't happen. It would be nice, but think about it...it wouldn't work.

The Wii U's bread and butter is its GamePad. Nintendo thrives on unique novelties, and the tablet-like controller fits the bill. One of its biggest perks is that it lets you play your games without a TV. If you were hoping to do that with your old Wii games, though, think again.
The Wii U is backwards compatible with the Wii, but those old games will be tied to your TV. "Wii Mode" will only work with the original system's controllers and accessories. So if you want to play Super Mario Galaxy, you'll need the classic WiiMote and Nunchuk.

the wiiu game pad does not have a sensor bar, it has a reciever for the sensor bar,   it has also six axis   like a ps3 controller , 

  and even if the wiiu pad has a sensor bar- its not for wii games at all 

There is 0% chance that will ever happan.

If you have to ask why, go sit in a corner and think about it for 1 second. That should be more than enough time for anyone get to the answer.

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] How would that even be possible? point the remote at your TV with the sensor bar but look at the gamepad? Seems inconvenient.Toxic-Seahorse
