PSA: Metroid Prime Trilogy is only $9.99 for one week

Purchased, downloaded (7765.5MB), needs Wii Remote & Nunchuck. You cannot play this with the Gamepad. You cannot play this with the Pro Controller.

You can use the Gamepad as a substitute for the sensor bar though.

My understanding is that it isn't a vWii game, it's been slightly modified to run in Wii U mode. It's why games that supported Classic Controller can be played on the Gamepad. Metroid Prime Trilogy was never one of those games, and they didn't add that functionality in. I think that Punch-Out!!, on the other hand, did support the Classic Controller, and will work Gamepad-only.

I don't know, however, if it at least mirrors the display on the 'pad. Does it?

When you start the game you get the option - TV Only or TV & Gamepad.

Same as disc based Wii software then, or can you toggle it while the game is running?
