I too doubt we will ever see the full technical potential of Wii U; neither Nintendo nor third parties seem interested in exploring its capablities fully.

The kind of investment it would take to max out a system of its caliber just isn't likely to happen.

Given the pressure Nintendo and their partners are under to produce things quickly, this is possible.  Or if we do, it will be in DLC where they have time to burn.  Although, Fast Racing Neo very well may do it. 

But I would just say, the Zelda HD demo from announcement didn't do it either.  Not only is it not that impressive in general - the only major exception being perhaps the particle effects and some other shaders - but it was also running at 720p 30fps to boot (according to Digital Foundry).  With that taken into account, I think it's safe to say that Bayo 2 has already surpassed it with its own visuals and higher framerate.  And Fast Racing Neo is also 720p 60fps.  I think the major issue is that the pressentation is very clever with the Zelda demo.  It draws your eyes to what is strong, but that doesn't change its deficiencies. 

Yeah, if any game can do it, it's FRN. Not only will it be a third generation Wii U game built from the ground up for the console by a talented studio, but they said last year they're about as close as possible to coding to the metal.
