Rejoice my friends, the Wii U does in fact upscale games to 720p and 1080p. As pointed out by NeoGAF user SPE, while the games are upscaled to HD, the native resolution of the Wii games are still the same. The result is a clear and sharper image for almost every Wii game available, but with really clear and pixelated edges.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.

Why do most of these reports fail to mention that the differences of Wii games on Wii U and Wii games on the Wii are due to the HDMI cable?
It will not look any different. If you've played the Wii on a HDTV before, you will know what to expect. Before this, the TV did the upscaling (otherwise you'd be playing the games in a tiny little 640x480 window in the middle of the screen), the only difference now is that the upscaling is done before the signal reaches the TV. So your TV will say "1080p", but the image is just an stretched out 480p image, same as before. There can be differences between scalers, but they're rarely anything to write home about.
The only difference you'll see may come from the use of HDMI over composite/component cables. Das it.
I don't care, I can play almost all wii games in 1080p with stereo 3d on my PC with the dolphin emulator.
@lightofdarkness I never said my tv could not play sd signals it won't do the wii for some reason, plus no I don't watch anything in sd all my tv channels are in hd and most people me included don't give a care about sd. My tv was expensive because its 55inch full array led with active 3d. It's not a off brand like westing house or elament either. So show me a tv from two years ago that was either Sony,vizio,Samsung or sharp with those specs for under 1500 I looked at newegg,amazon best buy,wallmart and Fred Meyers and that was the best you could get at the time for under 2000. So no I did not get ripped off lol
