I took the Wii out and put the Wii U in its place on launch day. I'm pretty sure Nintendo themselves have stated this. With the backwards compatibility on Xbox 360 and PS3 (before my 80gb phat broke) there was a definite upscaling effect. With the Wii U, I haven't seen this at all. |
There is an effect. It's very little. Because you're judging PS1/2 games to HDMI. Wii to HDMI isn't gonna look that better when you already had access to component. What you get is the digital signal, with no more color bleeding. And the auto aspect ratio control. Wii was just 1 step below HDMI. VS PS1 being two and much lower quailty cables. Also, Wii is done in anamorphic Widescreen. So the image is being stretched to the correct frame. So the pixels are blurred more. While PS1/2 games are in 4:3 and are not stretched with the aditional upscaling.
