@[email protected] it's not really a huge deal for most people. sickos like me like to try to dial things in to the "intended" output ratio and resolution and the Wii U just doesn't quite nail it. but it's totally fine! I will say that they definitely didn't hold digital out as in incentive to upgrade, it's just that they found it an unnecessary expense. the gamecube's original model had it, a bet on potential adoption of new display tech, but then when it didn't pan out quite so aggressively for consumers, the pulled the digital out on a later revision of the gamecube and made a more modest upgrade to component out for analog only on the wii.

I've just discovered your channel, trying to get more into Peertube, and I'm quite impressed! This is exactly the kind of channel I'm into so I'm happy you've got your stuff over here on the fediverse!

@[email protected] The Wii U's handling of Wii games isn't all that great, actually. Yes, it does run Wii games and outputs over HDMI, but it can be a bit weird about scaling and aspect ratio. So if you're kind of particular about that stuff, running on an original Wii can be a better solution.
