If my son has a WiiU gamepad that has its own screen, would I need to have 2 BOBs-i.e., one for the TV and the other for the gamepad/WiiU system?

The BOB only has one outlet so I don't think you could plug in two things. Whatever you choose to plug into the BOB is secured inside it by a locking cover. You may try using a power bar but you would run the risk of you son realizing he could just unplug the Wii and TV from the power bar and plug them into the wall.

Bob only has one outlet. So, what I did was connect the tv and game console into a multiple electric outlet, and then connect the electric wire from the multi electrical port that would normally go to the wall, to Bob instead.

There is room for one plug in the BOB. So you would need another BOB, or something like a lockable power strip plugged into the locking plug port on the BOB.

If he can use the device without the tv being on, then you would need one for that device also. Everything we have needs to be seen on the tv screen, so we just have bob blocking the tv.

I believe that you can use the slave unit only since it has composite inputs (as long as you have the yellow/red/white output for the video game system). The master screen seems to only have output to the other screen. Take this advice with a grain of salt, I've never seen the units out of the box and learned this by reading the manual from the Philips website. It was a deal breaker for me because I want to also be able to play content from my iPhones/iPad to both screens--no dice.

This comes with a free controller as pictured on the box. You can also use the standard Wii controller so you have two at a time.

For my Wii motionplus remotes it does not because the silicone covers goes over the metal conection points (that charge the device) as for the game pad thats what I would look at..... does the silicone case cover those connection points (on the bottom of the pad) My WiiU came with a charger for the pad.... so if yours did as well and it charges with the case on then I would say it will work. It seems that the pad would fit on the charger with a case but I dont use a case on mine.

No you shouldn't have to replace it. If you only need it for charging then this should be fine until the battery starts to run low again. Then you have to put it back to charge. You can't really charge it as you play unless you have the original charging cable. This is more like a dock station to charge 2 wii remotes, and the game pad at the same time.if you want to play and charge at the same time you will need a new cable.

Yes--although it only has one controller/numchuck so you will need to order second pair fpor most two player games. But it comes with everything except batteries for maon controller. Uses composite (red and white audio and yellow video) cables to hool to your tv. Easy to set up

Thanks for your input. I did not get one, I just decided that since we have the Wii - that's enough right now. I don't want to turn them into big gamers at the age of 4. Thanks again for your input, have a Merry Christmas!

I bought both the Explorer and LeapPad for my 3 and 5 year olds for Christmas. I bought a couple of game cartridges as well as app cards. How do you install the apps in both? I was told at TRU that you could only install an app on one device. Good to know that he was wrong.

You actually don't, most games have plenty of compatible controllers. I would recommend buying the pro controller if you find yourself uncomfortable with the wiipad.

Some areas of the game require the gamepad. When you encounter those areas, the game will tell you how to switch controllers.

Yes... the Wiimote and the nunchuck can be used to play. Personally, I think it's easier to play with them and not use the Gamepad due to the motion commands and button layout.

Since we only have one child we typically only use one of the screens. It works just fine with one. There is a split in the cord so you can hook the second screen up but it isn't required.

Right out of the box you can put in batteries (to the keyboard and base unit) and be set to play the 4 built-in games. If you choose, which we did, you can buy the power cord for the base unit. But it is optional. Then you can purchase all the different game cartridges that your child can switch out. So to list it: Included: keyboard, base Needed: batteries for keyboard & base Optional: power cord, various game cartridges

If you want them to be able to interact with game, you do have to get another controller. But before I bought a second controller my siste would just follow along with the game. I hope this helps

You use the Wii U gamepad for player one, however if it's two person you use the classic controller with a nunchuck for player two.

You need a Wii Remote for many of the core minigames, but not Wii Remote Plus. I'm not sure if any of the games require the motion plus, and if there are it's only a few modes. Specific modes utilize the gamepad, but you are going to want to have four Wii remotes to get the full multiplayer experience.

You can play one player with it, but to play four players you need controllers. You can still use the gamepad as a fifth player but cannot use any characters in game.
