Why does it matter if Wii U games dont look as good as others?

Watchdogs will be the better test. It will be on ps4, xbo, and wiiu.

Also, OP its hard to compare games like Mario to Uncharted when its entirely different, its easy to make good looking cartoons without needing to worry about textures and realism.

Once digital foundry does their comparison and if it doesent beat the 7th gen itll be quickly dismissed as a lazy port. Lower framerate has nothing to do with a lower spec CPU, lower bandwith RAM or a non cacheable flash Hard Drive but its all down to "laziness".

From what I've gathered it would be a lazy port, if the 7th gen versions look better. It would mean they haven't bothered to design for the Wii U at all, just used the same approach as the other systems despite them being very different.

But apart from that, Watch_Dogs will be an interesting test. It all comes down to how they utilise the gamepad. We have a game that lends itself so well to the gamepad, to be able to use a mock-up of the in-game mobile phone at all times. It would be very immersive and could possibly be the definitive version of the game despite not being the prettiest version compared to PS4/Xbone.
