I don't see a huge difference, at least with Skyward Sword. Maybe that game is just jaggy central no matter how you cut it?

I'd buy a WiiU HD release of it in a heartbeat. lol

Speaking of... do you guys know of any way I could get a completed Skyward Sword save on my WiiU so I have access to Hero Mode? I beat it on one of my old Wii's I still have around but the transfer process looks painful to say the least. I wonder if I could just download a save from elsewhere and get it on my U?

You should be able just to download a save file onto an SD card and pop that in the Wii U. Then just go into the data management in Wii mode and move it to the system memory. I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work; you can back save data up to the SD card, so it stands to reason that you can do it the other way around, too.

I just get whatever's cheapest. It can support up to 128 GB.

Hm, if reports are accurate, the Wii U is ending production this year. Wonder if that means the NX will be on shelves for the holidays or what.

I'm pretty convinced by now that the NX will be on sale this holiday season, but I'll be surprised if Nintendo COMPLETELY drops the Wii U this year. Next year? Yeah, probably, but even with their eagerness to distance themselves from the Wii U, completely dropping support simultaneously seems hasty.

They may try, but I don't think they're going to have it out by Holiday '16. They probably just have plenty of Wii U stock already manufactured.

I hope they wait until Holiday 2017.

They may not wait, I just don't know that it's going to happen this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see it drop early-mid 2017.

Nintendo said that it was false.

That doesn't necessarily mean that they were telling the truth.
