for anybody asking about blops 2 on wiiu it was the worst version by far http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-black-ops-2-wii-u-face-off read.

Except that, due to the Gamepad, it renders nearly twice as many pixels per frame.

The main complaint made was about the framerate, and that tends to happen when you port a game optimized for a system you as a developer know well to a different system that you have no experience with. Look at early ports from the 360/PC to the PS3.

As a game overall, Wiimote and Gamepad controls make BO2 Wii U better than the PS360 versions.


when the gamepad is mirrored it comes free with out taxing the hardware.

Mirrored as in the same image as the main screen? That's often not the case; splitscreen with it or using it as a menu for example. Those extra pixels don't come out of nowhere, they have to be drawn just like the main screen, it's just that the hardware is built to handle the extra fillrate.

yes. 

Well, the Gamepad does do more than that, as I explained. The pad screen is 480x854, meaning that to fill it the system must draw an extra 409,920 pixels per frame.
