– 720p for games running Wii U controller-intesive visuals
– Wii U controller handles 480p
– Wii U controller allows for viewing of on-TV action from another angle in some games
– Some third party ports using this idea for gameplay
– V5 dev kit is a little more powerful than V4, but doesn’t make for 1080p in these situations
– games can benefit from a slight visual boost over 360/PS3 and may run at a higher resolution
– more simple titles may be able to run 1080p in conjunction with the controller

The idea that game that use the controller more extensively can not run over 720p is an interesting one. I imagine running the controller may take some effort from the machine. How many think this may be true?
