I leave it on standby. There are National Resource Defense Council reports that show that the Wii U standby mode and unplugged are about the same. This means that standby uses next to no electricity so I feel there is no need to unplug it. If it was using power like one of the twins I'd be unplugging it the second I powered it down.

interesting, do you still have the link of the report?

sry for my bad english - it is not my 1st language

I got some charts but I have no idea how to put them up. Here's a link to the NRDC report.
