Resident Evil: Revelations On Wii U To Support Off-TV Play Using GamePad

It appears as though the Wii U version of Resident Evil: Revelations will support “off-TV play” using the Wii U GamePad. The Wii U version’s producer, Tsukasa Takenaka, recently confirmed the feature in an interview with Official Nintendo Magazine in the U.K.

"There’s a joke going around in Japan at the moment about using Off TV Play to play your Wii U games on the Bullet Train, as long as you get one of the seats with a power outlet, so we wanted to make sure Bullet Train play was possible with Revelations," Takenaka jokes.

Additionally, the game’s “Ooze” enemies look more detailed in the HD console versions of the game, and will appear in different variations.

Resident Evil: Revelations will be released for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U on May 21st in North America and May 24th in Europe.

This feature should be mandatory for all Wii U games.

Definitive version confirmed. At least for me anyway. Off tv play is a great addition to games



Games are fun.

No. I wont explain to you why mandatory off tv play would do way more harm to the console than good because you should be able to figure it out by yourself.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

It's only an option, and a distinguishing factor versus it's rivals.

I agree that every game should have the option, unless the game uses the Gamepad so much that without the second screen the game is unplayable, but I think this kind of games will be the minority.
