Examples
The Visual Memory Units for the Dreamcast console could work as an independent gaming device or provide players with an additional screen while playing on the Dreamcast by connecting the units to game controllers. In the Resident Evil series this allowed players to view their health without switching away from the main game screen, in the Soul Calibur series they could see versions of characters enact attacks, and in the Sega Rally series they could access the lap times without having the console on.
How about all those GameCube games that used the GameBoyAdvance as extra screen? Zelda Four Swords, Crystal Chronicles, Wind Waker, Animal Crossing, etc. Also lots of EA's sports games (FIFA, Madden, etc) showed the score board on the GBA.
