Smash Wii U Can I play without the TV?

[FireOfExile]

Just want to know before I get it if I can play the Wii U version using only the GamePad. Will things like Stage Builder work with that, too?

You can play it on the GamePad, which is what I'm doing currently. It's far from ideal but it works

Yes

I am playing it on the Gamepad at the moment, because I don't have a TV in my room, the place I find the most comfortable to play

Playing on the TV is miles better, tho

You could even use a computer monitor if you want. That's what I'm doing, and I can switch between my PC and Wii U with just a couple buttons.

Are you using Windows? How would I be able to do that if you are?

It doesn't interact with your PC at all. Just use DVI for your PC and HDMI for your Wii. Switch inputs through your monitor's menu.

Gamepad has a screen that streams what's going on had you been in front of an actual TV. You can use the gamepad as a small monitor and still be able to use any controller you want.

1. Turn on the Wii U.
2. Grab your gamepad.

My Wii U isn't even plugged into a TV, and it automatically just shows me the character percentages and whatnot when I enter a smash match. Same thing happens with Hyrule Warriors, but atleast for that game I just need to press "-" and everything goes to my gamepad, however that method doesn't seem to work here.

Tap the screen during a match.
