I would love to use remote play on the Wii U ... it was a feature when announced I thought I would use a lot buuuuuuut ...
The Wii U gamepad screen is a cheap piece of crap. It's literally a worse quality screen than even $70 no name kids tablets I see at Best Buy. It's a screen like something from a 2002-era portable DVD player that a grandma would use. I don't know how Nintendo even finds components this shitty, it's like they go back in time to special order them.
I didn't play through 6 years of the Wii with miserable muddy low resolution SD on an HDTV to now not enjoy HD graphics on the Wii U, so I basically play all the time on the HDTV. I can't go back to SD resolution, which is what the Wii U tablet screen basically is.

Downsampled to 540p makes 720p look better than upscaled to 1080p :p Higher than a portable dvd player anyway.
Fast racing NEO was better on the Gamepad than on tv, big mess on tv. And it was perfect for Mario maker.
But true, most games I rather play on the big screen, not just because of the resolution. Screen size and sound are more important. However with Pikmin 3 I found my eyes wander to stay focussed on the gamepad rather than looking up at the tv. It worked better on the gamepad.
Maybe if the WiiU was succesful Nintendo would have launched a GamePadii with 720p screen. Or at least make it so you can use its controls for Wii games that don't need waggle. So stupid you can use the classic controller with tons of Wii games but not the GamePad controls. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Not by my eye test. Wii U games look great on my HDTV set, so much so that honestly it's not like I go to play PS4 I go like "holy shit! Those Wii U graphics were awful" (this used to happen when I'd go from Wii to PS3/360 though).
When I look down at the graphics on the Wii U controller though ... lol it's a trainwreck. Way worse than the image on the TV. It's not just the resolution, the quality of the Wii U tablet screen itself is just ass. Colors are muted and dull, image quality is fuzzy and soft, etc. etc.
The difference between the image I get on my HDTV set versus the tablet screen is just night and day.
