Wii U specs and performance matter, and Nintendo knows this

"it's clear that the company is taking HD seriously this time around."

Are they? I mean, you have a 2d platformer and a game originally planned for Wii and they don't even output 1080p?
I see people defending this as, well....you know..it's hard, cut 'em some slack! Or, hey, casuals don't care about the difference in resolution! Well that's not taking HD seriously enough for me.

There's a difference between native rendered resolution and capable output. Which are we driving at here?

Similarly with the Toki Tori comment, we don't know if Two Tribes just meant 1080 output or 1080 rendering.

From what I read, all their first party titles are 720p (resolution),and  TT2 is confirmed to run at native 1080p. 

Well that scuppered my question.

I was wondering if perhaps any games that can be played without a TV screen might have a lower native res that matches whatever the UPad res is (is it 720 or is it SD?)
