All the games are native 720p. The WiiU then upscales it to 1080p or whatever output you set in the settings menu. They even do that for Wii, VC, and WW games.

Thank you!

... But, it actually upscales Wii games, too? I thought they said it wouldn't do that? :O Does that make a noticeable difference to old Wii games?

Yep. When I was playing / testing the Wii functionality, SMB (VC) was at 1080p. Keep in mind, this is upscaling... not up-resing. Just making it so the game looks good on a large HD TV vs like a stretched out piece of ass.

Is it doing anything extra or is it the same as the tv upscaling the image? Why would it look like a stretched out piece of ass, Wii is already in the correct aspect ratio? (I actually set my 360 to 720p output since my tv does a cleaner job of upscaling to 1080p then my old 360)
The Wii has big pixels after the tv upscaling algorithm, nothing mysterious going on there horizontol res x 2 / vertical res x 2.
Does the WiiU add a softening filter after quadrupling the pixels?
