I have been thinking about this for a while now, and I don't know too much about how the Wii U will work for playing Wii games, such as skyward sword and all those other awesome rpg games.

Here is a list of questions that I have:

1. Do you think there will be a port on the back for the sensor bar?
2.Will the resolution on the games be bumped up a little bit?
3.Will the screen with be in 4:3 ratio like how some ps2 games played on the first ps3?

Hopefully you guys know and can answer my questions.

There is, it was shown at e3 last year.
No, Reggie said they will not be upscalled.
No Wii game was 4:3.

Use search.

Emulated letterbox for older tv's.
The Wii system doesn't have a resolution based on 4:3, it added letterboxing for 4:3 settings.

Notice the left and right sides of the "correct" setting screen.

*sigh*

I was hesitant to say no, knowing there were a few, at least one or two that I've personally seen.
It's uncommon though, and the settings in the wii's system settings are really just keeping 4:3 for legacy.

I think Monster Hunter Tri had this too

Port in back, no upscale, possibly all in 16:9 res.

it will be nice if it is compatible with gamecube as well.. I have many games in gamecube and 4-5 for wii.. As for the upscale, my TV have a program inside the menu, that does that... At least Ive done it in a couple of old movies!

Orion now that Nintendo Network is coming out for the Wii U and supports more advance donwload functionality GameCube games will probably be downloadable and cost a bit of money similar to how they do with PS1 and PS2 games on the PS3 Slim.

I do have them! i dont need to buy them! I only need to buy starfox game on gamecube, it was the only game I couldnt find.. lol And another one, wario land.. something like that.. (it was with wario)

Were we able to copy gamecube data to an SD card? If yes, maybe they'd do something so you wont buy a game you already have.

Only with homebrew (not wii software homebrew, but actual hardware you could buy on gamecube to use an sd card as a gamecube memory card which also enabled some bad stuff for companies. )

I dunno why Reggie was so reluctant to upscale Wii games.
Hardware BC isn't happening, so they're going to be emulated. I see no reason for nintendo not to allow upscaling, apart from wanting to sell HD versions later.

Data yes. The games only with Homebrew. But on wiiu the games will be bought online.

Argh I meant via a Wii. I mean, if you put the NGC memory card into a Wii then you transfer that data to an SD card. Sorry for not being clear enough.

[Nollog]

You were clear, that's why the answer was an implied "no" through the use of "only with..."

[Plutonas]

well I dont think i will buy them twice! my gamecube and my wii are factional! lol and the only games I used to play time to time, are fina fantasy X, mario and some times soul calibur with some friends...(gamecube edition - soul calibur) and zelda, the gamecube one golden edition, that contains also the 2 from older system by nintendo.. (nintendo 64)
