i have yet to see a tablet that can put out anything close to what the wii u can...i'm sure those will eventually come as tablets get stronger but we are a ways away from that.  Although now that the wii u tablet has been hacked i guess you can expect to see all kinds of PC games streamed to it :)

I would have to double check but i believe the reason the wii u is backwards compatible is it just happens to have a wii on a single chip....so Nintendo could opt to not include it and save some money....it has nothing to do with the Wii U's capabilities.  The wii u has a completely different architecture.

The original wii however was much closer to the gamecube as it was basically one but with better speeds all around.

I don't think we're as far as you may think considering these devices have yearly updates. Games like Dead Trigger, Dark Meadow, Infinity Blade and Real Racing 3 are already getting close to console quality on the small screen.

Dead Trigger:

Real Racing 3:

Dark Meadow:

Infinity Blade II:


i'll have to check those out on my galaxy note 10.1...they look nice but i dont think they are quite there (the screenshots you show make them look nice though).  Some games are also better with buttons as opposed to buttons on a gamescreen.  One of the reasons the wii u gamepad is so bulky is the buttons and the touchscreen together like that....but its also what makes it as good as it is.

 

edit: Ok so i did a bit of searching and the only game out of these 4 i could play is Dead Trigger but i have no idea how it would look....and this is with  a tablet that cost me 500.00 last year so it isn't that old (although i'm sure it isn't the quickess processor for its price range...i picked it because of the pen)

When i go to the android app store it says real racing 3 and dark meadow is not compatible with my device.

I can't find Infinity Blade on Android.  This means to play most of these i would have to spend more than the cost of a wii u (Wii U was on sale last week for 199.99).
