If they could get 1080p for even games like NSMBU and Nintendo Land it'd be relatively satisfied but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The issue isn't that the Wii U isn't capable of running 1080p native. It's that Nintendo is smart enough to realise it's not worth the extra investment to have a marginal improvement in graphics. A problem a lot of developers have had trouble with this gen: if it can look better, make it look better, no matter how much greater the development costs grow.

720p to 1080p is a huge improvement and not a marginal one. at least if you have a big tv and don't sit 10 meters away or if you play on a pc monitor sitting only away like you do playing pc games on it. i don't understand how people always think there is no big difference. yes many sit too much away from their screen to see huge differences but people should sit closer than to have a much greater feeling.

with 1080p i sit closer to my screen than playing console games in 720p and that makes a huge difference. the feeling is much better with a bigger picture and i can see all details much better because they are bigger then. but if i would sit so cloe with 720 it would look not very good that's why i have to sit back then.

Having played PC games on a wide variety of resolutions since the late 1980s, the difference between 720p and 1080p is relatively minimal especially if you have a decent level of anti aliasing ... In relative terms the jump from 720p to 1080p is roughly as significant to the end user as the jump from 640p is to 720p; something you will probably notice, but it is certainly not worth spending much more (on hardware) for.
