Wii U can make old Wii games prettier

11/20/12 5:02pm

NeoGAF has identified a benefit to the Wii U that we probably weren’t aware of, HD Wii games. Well, not quite HD, but the Wii U does a much better job cleaning up edges and making games look noticeably better. Lets take a look at an example video.

This process is known as upscaling, and while it won’t necessarily add more detail, it does use a variety of visual tricks to make the images appear HD. Basically taking something built in 480p, and converting it up to 1080p. Hot damn I can’t wait to play some Mario Galaxy 2 on my Wii U. What about you g1s? What games from Wii do you think would look good upscaled?

Might I suggest you add this picture to the article: http://imageshack.us/a/img255/1277/samuses.jpg

So people aren't confused on the matter, and know exactly what an up-scale actually entails. Because a lot of people have misinterpreted this. (Also, why is my text being formatted awkwardly at the top?)

This. It doesn't really make the games look any better.

Ya if you ever run a wii emulator on a powerful computer you will see the wii is very limiting, smash bros has so much detail in it and most ppl havnt seen it.

Oh man, this means I can play the only 4 good Wii games upscaled! But if I use Dolphin I get custom NSMBW levels that are far and away superior to Nintendo's. Hmm...

Wait a tick. I'm pessimistic at the moment. It could be the TV being tricked by the Wii U. Someone mentioned this as well on the comments of the video on YouTube. I'd like to see a high-quality side-by-side comparison for confirmation using both early Wii games and later Wii games.
