Your TV upscales Wii games. The Wii U's upscaling just might do a better job of it, and that's gud.

I was just playing a little Xenoblade and I felt it looked different but when I hit the info button on my remote it said 1080p I guess that is the signal the Wii U is sending my TV but my TV is a 720p plasma

I went back and set my Wii U at 720p

I am not sure what the difference is when between the two when it is an SD Wii game being sent at 1080p to a 720p TV all I know is using the same plama tv on my Wii it was getting an SD signal just fine.

I am not really sure what looks better without taking some pics

Does anyone know if it is best to send the higher signal to the TV or the same level as the TV?

maybe I should even set my Wii U to SD when playing Wii games?
 
Another question - is there any way to delete certain Wii-U channels? I have no use for the Hulu Plus or Amazon video channels as they aren't available in Canada.
 
time to put in some hours in Skywards Swords for the first time. I have a lot of games to play but everything have been games I normally would not have found fun.

Need some RPGs please :(
 
I thought Skyward Sword looks a lot better than the Wii version. The graphics look sharper and crisper than the blurriness of the Wii version.
I take it you still have to use a wii mote on it?

Xeno, Last Story and Pandora.

The only RPGs worth playing on Wii IMO.

I haven't checked, but I doubt you can delete stuff that was pre-installed.

Don't worry. Monolith's game might release next year.
In Japan!
 
There will not. You may not have noticed that Post #2 is dedicated to EU. ;)

D'oh! Thanks. Looking at the frontpage again I remember seeing it before!

Sounds nice! I shall wait for the Wii U before I continue my playthrough, as I kept thinking something about the visual style was off-putting displayed on my Wii. Nothing big, but if it indeed looks a bit better on the Wii U that's a good thing.

I would set the Wii U to 720P if that's the native resolution of the TV.

Don't bother changing the Wii U to SD. You'd want the Wii U to upscale to 720p rather than your TV.. It seems to be better at it than most TV scalers.
 
Does anybody else have liquid looking blemishes in their touchscreen? When you touch the touchscreen it kind of moves around.
I have those.

I also have a dot that won't come off. My stylus catches on it as well, so it might be a tiny crack.

I don't want to go through the trouble of getting a new GamePad, though.
 
you are either gonna love it or hate it...
i personally loved it =D

still at the intro screen since my eyes suck and subtiles are missed got to replay that a few time to read that intro

my vision issues have sucked the life out of my gaming habits

Xenoblade was the last game I truly enjoyed so it may have spoiled me for this Zelda.

Still I am a Zelda fan got to play it.

OKAY gone for an hour or so for this
 
I just reported Bill Trinen's post on Miiverse as a violation of policy. Reason: advertising.

Get glasses?

I find gaming miserable without mine.

Hope you like it. It's personally my favorite of the 3D Zeldas, but it's definitely a love or hate game.
 
Do downloaded Wii U retail games load faster than their disk based counterparts?

I'm surprised no one has tested this yet.

there should be a decrease in loading times, but probably not very significant.
the optical drive has a read speed of 22.5 MB/s, vs. a typical USB 2.0 drive being around 25-27 MB/s.

If you have a top of the line USB 2.0 drive (the kind that does 30+ MB/s) it should be noticeable.

That seems like the case for most of the 3D Zelda games.

I know a lot of Zelda fans who really disliked Majoras, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and this game. Personally i am not a fan of Majoras or OOT, or Twilight but i loved Wind Waker. People call me crazy but other then WW i am just not a fan of 3D zelda. One day i will play Skyward Sword but as of now i just don't have a real interest in it, mainly because i HATE motion controls, i can't stand using the wiimote.
 
quoting myself.
anyone can answer?

It is the survey that you get if your bought a Wii U Black system. You sign up for Club Nintendo and I guess you get discounts and such for being a premium member. Not sure of all the exact details. But after you register, you end up getting a survey that gives you more points.

I am sure someone can explain it better because I did not see nothing in the box that talks about it other than the sticker on the box of the unit.
 
Does anyone have an idea when or how the WiiU virtual console is gonna be available? besides having not owned a nintendo console since the n64 im looking foreward to playing some classic games :) like majora's mask
 
Nintendo Land is horrible......none of the single player games are any fun to me. Haven't tried multiplayer games yet.

I respectfully disagree that it's "horrible.". Most fun I've had with a game local multiplayer in years.

Not even DK's Crash Course and Yoshi's Fruit Cart? Those games are freakin' rad.

Balloon Trip is ok, I like the presentation more than the swipe gameplay. Haven't played the other three as yet.

It is available from the "Wii Menu" right now.

It has the same stuff the Wii does.
