Hardware Wii U Question

[clegion]

I have several question of the Wii U
1. Do i need a TV if I just want to use the Wii U gamepad as my primary and only screen (like say playing Wii games), as in can it function without a TV ?
2.Is it region locked?

Thanks for the help beforehand

Of course. Nintendo knows how much the fanbase loves the region lock feature. Iwata just asked for his to be region free, because he doesn't like his own console region locked.
