If you are thinking of playing Wii games on your Wii U, I just found out that the hand display does not work with Wii games , it works only on the Wii U games, (what a bummer)
As of Now just wii u games can use the gamepad. Maybe in the future the software will be updated to allow this.I was just coming here to ask this same question lol. I'm about to get a Wii U and I was wondering if any Wii games could be played on the handheld controller.
Now can all Wii U games be played on the handheld controller? Or only certain games?

Most of the games. Of the ones I have Mario Bros U and black ops 2 both support off tv play.
I believe only ZombiU and NintendoLand at this time don't have off-tv play. The rest do.
I'm aware, wasn't really the point I was trying to make...According to the instruction manual, the GamePad has a sensor bar built in, on either side of the camera.
Not sure if any games use it yet.
*Ahem*Why the fuck would anybody want to play Wii games on a little 6 inch screen? :/

NintendoLand is ~1/3 off-tv play compatible, for example, the coin minigame,NintendoLand's main area, the zelda minigame while using the bow, the metroid minigame while controlling the ship, and Donkey Kong Crash Course are all able to be played off-tv. i know as i have before many times.
Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed can go on the "no off-tv" game list. Single Player can only be played on TV as the gamepad is used as a topdown map view.
it does however support using just the gamepad if you do multiplayer (1 on gamepad, upto 4 on TV)
