I play my Wii U in 720p using my Wii component cables.
My TV doesn't do 1080p so I can't answer that part sorry but I suspect its fine?

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
By the way, with regards to Chasing Aurora being on sale in US, @mcloister of Broken Rules just tweeted this to me.

I don't think the Wii classic controller works with Wii U games. So there's that.
Well I don't think they are interchangeable. I am not sure that you can just use the Wii classic controller for Wii U games that have Wii U Pro Controller support unfortunately.
Of course, if I am wrong I would love to hear about it. (I know that a few games provide this option, but as far as I can tell it is far from universal.)

want to know as well
I had no idea about that. I knew the wii controller+nunchuck works. I assumed that the classic would too. I didn't want to dish out $50 if I didn't have a solid reason to do so.
Thanks!

something is coming since another dev for Trine 2 said the same thing "can't yet"
something is planned for that big day when those kids wake up and find a Wii U under the tree I guess
could be this week who knows, I have not downloaded batman yet holding off to see if retail games also go on sale on eShop

If it's any consolation, the Pro controller is a really, really nice pad. I hope they'll add support to play VC games on it - that'd be great.

I've noticed this too and was wondering the same thing.

The Yeah! changes based on the mood you set for the post so it could be that
Just a heads up. Been packaging my Wii U up for sale on eBay (buyer's remorse) and noticed that the two included stand clips which hold the console on its side have left significant scratch marks on the console. This is despite being incredibly careful and gentle with it at all times.
Please just be very careful with those stand clips - I'd avoid using them at all in hindsight. That glossy black surface is extremely prone to scratches, marks and scuffs

Seems like there's a lot of random side comments going on. I'm playing in 1080p with my Wii component cables on my Wii U.

Man I honestly thought you could just use the Wii Classic Controller Pro for Wii U stuff all this time (don't have any games that need/use it yet), had no idea the new one is mostly 'required' if you wanted to go that route.
I wanted to get more use out of my awesome gold one.

You can't even use the new one to play NSMBU.
Classic Controller Pro definitely works with some Wii U games, just depends on whether the game supports it (just like the U Pro controller and the Wiimote/Nunchuk).
Black Ops 2 for Wii U definitely supports it, I only have NSMBU and NL so I can't speak for any other games.
Thanks, I will probably hold off buying it until enough games comes out to see if it warrants a purchase or not. Right now it seems like everything is kind of up in the air, and hopefully some form of standard will pop up.

Pretty disappointing. That was the launch indie game I wanted the most, but it gets repetitive fast. Looks pretty, though.
lol.
I think I'll pick up Zombi-U and NG3: Razors Edge
Bwahaha you already know i'm going to stream it huh?

I'm sure we are all waiting for the browser version to access that stuff wish they were full sized way to capture this stuff. Hoping for a new app that does this added to the OS in the future.
Can't wait for the one hour update live stream with heartless animals abandon at the end.

Now you're going to make me check mine's when I get home. @_@
the update is that long? No wonder that stream seemed like forever when they were doing it.

Anyone try the Turle Beach headphones for the Wii U(NLa, costs $35)?
I am looking for a headset that doesn't cost much, and that might turn the volume up on the gamepad.
My one complaint about the Wii U is that the volume isn't high enough, even with normal headphones plugged in.

Should be shorter than that now because the launch crazyness is over and Nintendo probably upgraded its servers. Dec. 25th will be a bitch, through.
True, I hope my store is still in stock, gonna get a Deluxe one so I can have enough storage for stuff.
I can't wait to buy some stuff off the VC so I can stream stuff impossible to buy in real life like Wild Guns SNES
If your TV supports it, then yes it can. I tried using my component cable on my Sony kdl40cx523 and it output fine in 1080p. I wanted to see if there was a noticeable difference, being that component apparently supports full RGB, but I couldn't see anything between the two cable types - then again, I'm certainly no AV buff, so my word is pretty far from final.
I tried this myself as well: It may have been just the fact that my Wii component cable was of the ultra-cheap variety, but I did see quite a bit of colour ghosting using Component compared to HDMI (both at 1080p). So results may vary

How is Trine 2 single-player?
how do i get analog audio out from the wii av cable while having video over HDMI in Wii games?
I know you can't do it for wii u games but i read in multiple places that it should work for wii games.. I've searched all the settings and can't find anything, and just plugging in the cable doesnt seem to work.

You're a big guy.
Does the Wii U have a thing which tracks your game time, as they did on Wii and 3ds?
Yes it does.

harder than co-op I amuse but fun for me alone
It has an Activity Log. Not nearly as powerful and comprehensive as the 3DS one (yet), but at least much better than the Wii one.

This needs to be on the next Playstation and Xbox too. I always wonder how long ive played certain games for and unless its built into the game I never know on 360 and PS3.
This would probably sound strange to many, but in terms of features which compel me to play games on a certain platform, Activity Log is more important to me than Achievements. Vita having trophies doesn't do much for me, but its lack of an Activity Log I find extremely frustrating and pretty stupid on Sony's part.

I do wish there was some kind of an Activity Log that could've been implemented for Wii mode on the Wii U. Just started playing Xenoblade and considering it'll likely take me over 100 hrs to finish it would've been nice.
Speaking of which, Xenoblade does look a bit better on the Wii U. Not a spectacular difference, but it does look cleaner to me.
Well there was always the Nintendo Channel, but I don't think you can download that for some reason.

Yeah, there aren't any channels you can download aside from the transfer utility and something for Skyward Sword.

More tweets from @mcloister and @Chasing_Aurora in response to a potential Chasing Aurora US sale....
The "Yeah" changes depending on the emotion from the original post (normal, confused, sad, wink, etc.). IIRC, there's Yeah! Yeah?! Yeah... Yeah♥ Yeah.
