You also have to remember that for whatever God forsaken reason, Nintendo decided to make the Wii U not display full range over HDMI so unless there are future home brews allowing that, you are going to miss some contrast no matter what. As much as I love my Wii U games, technically, it really is a shit console with a lot of shortcomings. 

You won't miss much if you calibrate your display correctly. It goes wrong when you capture a video intended for tv display and then show it on a pc display without converting to full RGB. Which is why it looks washed out on you tube. I've tried to spot the difference between limited and full RGB, both calibrated correctly on my projector (it has a build in waveform analyzer to perfectly calibrate contrast) and no matter what game I try, I can't see a difference.

It would be nice if WiiU had the option. Perhaps with the newer 10 bit displays and wider color gamut, full RGB range might actually make a small difference. But the colors looking washed out or generally foggier in the comparison is just a matter of incorrectly capturing/displaying the footage. It has nothing to do with the game.

It's definitely a bitch when I try to capture Wii U games and fuck with the capture settings and still come out with a more washed out image compared to other captures, but you are right that on an actual display, it can look very close with some tweaks, but you really shouldn't need to do extra work for that shit IMO.
