[QUOTE="Maeson, post: 8791511, member: 326923"] I was going to post a long message but I just don't have the energy to do so, I've already mentioned this too many times... That said, I want to warn you: If you're thinking about spending a considerable amount of your time using Wii level stuff (meaning ANYTHING that is made for Wii, included GC stuff and homebrew), and want a Wii U; just have in mind that Wii U's Wii Mode is [B]pretty damn inferior [/B]in comparison to use an actual Wii. Wii U's Wii Mode scales badly, anything you do in it will suffer from overscan and will look zoomed in, or in simpler words; worse, and if my memory serves me right, the lower resolution you set the system on, the bigger the overscan is. It suffers from chroma shift and there's some f*ckery with colors because Wii U doesn't convert between Rec. 601 and Rec. 709 Y'CbCr, which also affects the gamepad and its limited range. There's more to the differences, like if you care about GameCube games, you also lose access to use real Memory Cards and proper GameCube controllers (and for the same matter, Wii games with GC support), so that's another hit, but the point is, if you want to make serious use of what a Wii can do, you're better off with a real Wii. Will look better, will have the most features, and the less issues. If you're going for a Wii, be sure to try and get one of the later, full-featured models made around 2010, for a console that consumes less power, heats up less, and also has the 480P Fix by default (which may or may not notice depending on the tv/display you use). In any case, I recommend you to read a lot around the net and make an informed choice based around that, and I wish you have loads of fun with what you end up choosing. [/QUOTE]

I get what they were trying to say but what the ad actually says is "we tried to cram a ton of features into the iPad but all of them got irreparably mangled
in the process."
