I had my wii u connected to the framemeister (1080p), but I unhooked it a day or two ago. the vwii as is looks like a wii u game on the gamepad (480p?), which is low resolution, but I think it's upscaled by the system (not 100% certain of this, but I think it is). it still looks bad though. with the framemeister, it looks very good. I don't even remember the last time I tried the system without the framemeister (possibly before I got the framemeister, which would've been many years ago). the image just kinda looks dead by comparison imo.
