You're comparing the metacritic scores from a bunch of AAA ports to a bunch of small budget, fairly obscure games.

I don't know what this proves.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Aye, Metacritic scores for the Mario Galaxy games or Zelda entries are higher still, and there are the occasionaly third party entries like Okami (90) or Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (91) that are up there too.

I wouldn't think of it as a purchasing decision though. A Wii U will play all those games too.

If you were to pick the 10 best games on either console they'd all be Nintendo IPs anyway, so I don't see the difference.

Is there a graphical difference between emulating a game on Wii mode versus Wii U mode?

Not from what I've seen. I think its been up-res'd if you output through an HDMI cable. I could be wrong. I haven't seen any graphical artifacts though in the handful of games I've played. Mario Galaxy looks fantastic!

My understanding was that running in Wii mode, regardless of HDMI or not (which is cleaner) was that it still was just 480p.

Easy enough to check for anyone that has a TV that will show input resolution.

Yes I think you are right. Still outputs at 480p but does it up-res it to what the Wii U naturally output to?

I have my U set to output 1080 and my TV shows an input res of 1080 when I'm in Wii mode.
