You can play Wii games off-screen without the TV ever being on if you change your video output settings to be non-HDMI. Also, in non-HDMI mode, you can automatically start the Wii Menu on your GamePad screen by holding the B-button when you manually turn on the Wii U. 

I always knew you can play Wii games off-screen but I always thought I needed the TV on first because of the HDMI video setting! Did anyone else knew this was possible?
