I don't know much about this stuff, but would it really stop them completely? Microsoft published Ninja Gaiden 2 after all, but Team Ninja changed some stuff around, slapped a 'Sigma' in the title and released it on PS3.

Any new infos so I can update this list?

Nice job with this, the off-TV functionality is very interesting, it'll literally just a big handheld to drag around in the house.

Some site claimed a rep told them it would be 1080p. Can't remember where though.

Perhaps, and like I say, I think it probably is 1080p, but would be best to get confirmation before you bet your life on it.
1080p is normally refereed to as 'full HD', as everyone knows. As far as I know they've never used the words 1080p.
Even without those sites it should be 1080p, the Wii U version is pretty much the Wii version so the Wii U version being 720p and not 1080p would look pretty sad.

Exactly, it's a simple looking cell-shaded 1:1 Wii port... 1080p should be guaranteed... for what the feck it's worth lol.

So let me get this straight:
480p = ED
720p = HD
1080p = FULL HD
?
If 1080p is full HD, 720p should be called "almost full HD"
480p = ED
720p = HD
1080p = FULL HD
?

According to this article, they did say 1080p. I remain skeptical though.
Finally, Activision says that the Wii U version is capable of running at 60fps in 1080p, even while playing online.
http://www.slashgear.com/black-ops-ii-wii-u-details-unleashed-13247525/
That article references the New York conference: Eric Hirshberg never mentioned any specific resolution or framerate in regards to CoD on stage, he only remarked the console to be capable of "HD ready" graphics.
Considering Black Ops 2 will render at 880x720 pixels (for comparison: 720p are 1280x720 pixels) on the PS3 and Xbox 360 I'm highly skeptical that this game will render at even 720p on the Wii U.

Developers use 1080p way too much. Many times they just mean that it can upscale to 1080p. I'm pretty sure that you can upscale the current CoD games to that resolution on the PS3 and 360. But they run at 600p natively.

This.
Most of my 360 games advertise '1080p' on the back of the box. So I'm sceptical until the thing actually comes out.

I think you mean ME1 there, cause ME2 was definitely on PS3. They could have at least made it a ME2 + 3 combo pack.

Wait so you can't play Wii games on the screen on the controller?

did you miss the link to the wiki page that has all the off-tv titles?
here it is again: http://www.giantbomb.com/off-tv-play/92-7482/
I keep that list up to date
Kind of weird if its never going to happen seeing as there is a sensor bar built into the controller.
My guess is its going to happen.
No, absolutely not. That list has plenty of glaring mistakes.
Unfortunately my current TV is only 1080i which was billed as HD when I got it, but I think it's sub 720p and is only 4:3 anyway. That's what I get for being an early adopter of "HD" before the standard was set. Maybe it'll accidently break when our carpet is installed next weekend.
Fixed
Is there a good video of that on Youtube?
It doesn't seem like anyone connected to Black Ops 2 ever claimed the game to "render in full HD" on the Wii U. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I just don't see any evidence.

You can find the evidence in the latest Nintendo direct.
For the record:
480p = SD
720p = HD Ready
1080p = Full HD
At least that are the terms usually used by the marketing in europe.

No...find a transcription of the conference. E specifically said it would be "full HD". I really doubt it, but that's what he said.
Thanks!, and they probably will do that in Zelda Wii U.
P.S I love the graphics/art style for Nintendo Land
Just got back from the LA Wii U Experience. (I see someone started a thread about it... I also others took a dump in it immediately, so I'll just post here) The lines weren't too long, lots of kids though. Played NSMBU (twice), Nintendoland - Mario Chase & Luigi's Mansion, W101, and Pikmin 3. But when Mario came out, the kids all vanished, letting me walk up to NSMBU.
This must have been the kid-friendly showing... the only M rated game was Batman in its own room. And it was easily the least impressive looking game there. The IQ was not good. Ninja Gaiden and ZombiU weren't there.
My favorite game was Mario Chase.
Pikmin is most definitely, without a doubt, IR pointer based and not M+ based.
Got 26 Streetpass tags.
I've got to go to work now.

The first thing I did was press the Home button and then pretended like it was a mistake. All it did was pull up some sort of debug menu. It obviously was the final menu
I tried. They blocked off the back side of the display cases so you couldn't see what the back looked like. I saw a part of a cable through a whole on the back of one the displays... the cable was black. I hope that helps.
I've got to go to work now.
you'll need the original controllers for said games so that's kinda pointless since you
can play them on your TV
You can find the full Wii U-Preview on the Nintendo website, at http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu/videos/#/wii-u-preview
I didn't hear any mention of "full HD graphics". There's only talk of the game looking great on the Wii U and never achieving such graphics before on a Nintendo console.
"Full HD" was mentioned a lot in relation to CoD at the event and in the accompanying interviews.
He mentions Full HD in the interview in the video section.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.

"Full HD and 60fps".
It's possible, I think something changed, we've seen the back at E3 2011 so Nintendo now hiding the back calls for something that happened.
That video just sold me on the Zelda portion of Nintendoland.

The Zelda minigame is one where I think the gamepad player is going to have a lot more fun assuming no one smacks him in the face with a wiimote
why?

Looks fun. I haven't seen many detailed videos of that mini game, so I didn't really know what to expect besides three people wielding wiimotes and one on the pad shooting arrows. It actually looks entertaining and the graphics and material effects look pretty spiffy.
What Jason Ades said exactly:
"presenting in Full HD" isn't equivalent to "rendering in Full HD" (it is highly likely we are going to get the same 880x720 rendering resolution as the Xbox, "on par" being the clue)
Again, no talk of rendering resolution - and considering the horrible framerate drops Black Ops 1 had in 360 multiplayer, I don't feel like this is giving us any assurances.
Oh I see
yeah it looks cool
what I love so far about this game is the lighting
I really like it.
Can't wait to see some direct footage
At the stage demo during the NYC conference, they say "Full HD" a couple times. Not sure who the person was. Also you can hear a rep say it off camera when someone was filming it on the show floor on a youtube. I'm on my phone, so no link, but I thought the press releases info in Nintendos site for BLOPS also said full hd. Edit: it just says "HD experience". So at least 720p. Not sure. But as the list already notes with the * that this all could be pr talk. But it is strange how much emphasis it gets.
You would think they would just say full 1080p, if it really was that.
And why hasnt anyone directly asked Activision or a rep about this?
The official stance is:
You'll be able to take advantage of the Wii's game library on the Wii U. I'm looking forward to playing Skyward Sword, myself
