This may be a stupid question but if the Wii U can't upscale wii games due to hardware limitations, Then how is it that the first (I mean FIRST) generation PS3s (with the orginal B/C feature) were able to upscale PS2 games? Just curious.

I think there is a difference in understanding of terminology here.  The WiiU will almost certainly "upscale" games, where they play at native rendering but the signal from the WiiU to the TV is in HD.  This is the same kind of upscaling the PS3 and PS2 did with its BC.  The video signal was HD, but the game was still rendered in its original resolution.

What we are talking about in this thread is whether the WiiU will Render old software at a higher resolution.  Turn a 480p game into a 720p game, eliminating jaggies in polygons and smoothing textures.  This the WiiU will almost certainly NOT do.  But it would be really awesome if it did.  I'd love to get visuals like I get on Dolphin on PC natively with the WiiU on Wii games.  They look gorgeous.

Aaahhhhh yeah thats what I thought. Reading all the posts that weren't on the same page threw me off. Yeah, I now noticed. Some were saying it couldn't "render" the games themselves, while others were saying kinda broadly that it could without clarifying that it can picture wise. Thanks for clearing that up. It would be awsome though. I saw screen shots of SSBB rendered in actual 720 (by dolphin) it looked beautiful.
