Exactly.
It would take Nintendo but one simple line of code in the VC to make it full screen, yet they don't.
That's why I am looking towards the Wii u Hacking scene, hopefully VC titles can be handled in full screen with a proper hack.

Just so y'all know, all the other Virtual Console platforms on Wii U look fine on a 4:3 CRT. I have a bunch of SNES and GBA VC games, and they look great when I tried them on my CRT. N64 VC games are the only ones that force those nasty borders as far as I know.
my first port of call would of been buying a HDTV first then the WiiU!
By the way I just wanted to mention I bought Super Mario 64 and its a full screen on mine also on the gamepad.:- Not Sure Yet, I will find out later!
PIC or didn't happen.
I will get one. Hold on. I will get one promise, I'm not faking it just a little busy with work. I will upload it on this comment, I don't want anyone thinking I'm a liar!
When did you buy SM64?I will get one. Hold on. I will get one promise, I'm not faking it just a little busy with work. I will upload it on this comment, I don't want anyone thinking I'm a liar!
I find it odd that the Gamepad is giving you a full screen image, since mine doesn't.
I think posting your Wii U Settings for Video would be great too, just to be sure.
At the weekend. Tbh I'm not sure about the gamepad but the TV certainly did, I played it on the TV not the gamepad.
You always thought wrong, then. Tube TV's were still being made at least until the middle of the 2000's. And not everyone upgrades their TV just because newer TV's are out, some people wait until their old one breaks.
Yeah agreed, I may have done the same in the past but come on man... where now in 2015 for god sake!, a 42inch HDTV can now be picked up for £130.00 even at supermarkets like Morrison's or even less maybe if you shop around, there is no excuse nowadays to have a tubetv on the go with your WiiU etc..!
It's not that.
Some N64 games had the support for 16:9 Widescreen support, Nintendo is just fucking us up and standardizing the whole thing with their original aspect ratio.
A Full Screen/Stretch option would suffice.
i think you don't get why some games had that option to begin with. 16:9 support doesn't magically make a game full screen.
So I'm pretty much out of luck with this right? Even if I buy an HDTV it still wouldn't be in full screen.
DK64 on an orginal N64 actually had a widescreen option-- so if you hooked a real N64 up to a 16:9 TV and enabled the option, it would output a 4:3 image with squished widescreen graphics and rely on the TV to stretch them out so it looked much better and without black bars. The problem is, the squished graphics aren't being stretched back out like the TV would do because that would be the Wii U's job (since the Wii U is the middleman), and some guys over at Big N thought it would be cool to just accept the 4:3 image from the emulator and stick that on a widescreen TV.
