Really nice looking. And judging by the Monolith Soft game, more capable than PS3/360. Finally a game on Wii U that looks better than anything on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Well, IMO, the Monolith Soft game looks really great, both art and technical aspects. Dat draw distance, dat scale
Lets not get technical. My reference to a second wave relates to titles not rushed for launch. It would be logical for theses titles to be more fleshed out since they can and have adjusted their release to give them more polish. These games are a better representation on what to expect moving forward.

Yep. I expect things to only improve from here. Stuff like Galaxy and WW clearly still look incredible with only a bump in resolution. Their proper follow ups will be sights to behold. Also, X already looks better than XIII and surpasses it in scale and scope and this is Mono's first crack at an HD title

Most look pretty good except for Pikmin, and I don't like WW loosing that cel shaded look.

Needs anti aliasing
I am personally amazed at how much more appealing Pikmin 3 looks overall. Some textures are a bit bland here and there but as a package i think it looks stunning, especially in how vivid and vibrant the colors look and the overall visual aspect of the world has a very, umm, SOLID feel to it. I see this hard to describe aspect prevalent in all of Wii U titles shown.

Who is this NEOGAF guy, and how come he never responds to any of these questions?
(These games do look pretty good.)

This is still the first wave....Wii U isn't even half a year old yet.
Yoshi: looks good, not amazing but good. Reminds me of LBP.
X: ASFHADHGADH!
Wind Waker HD: I like it but I want to see it in motion, It'll be my first time playing Wind Waker.
Pikmin 3: Looks great aside from the flat ground textures
W101: I made that first gif for a reason. It looks amazing. So much going on all at silky smooth 60fps

I'll second that.

101 looks great.
The rpg looks pretty bad to me, look at the water, the poor image quality, the ugly beach , it all looks primitive to me.

looking good, if the Monolith game ends up being as awesome as it looks, it may get me to buy a wii U
Yup that makes it all the more impressive,I'll be keeping an eye on this system.

Yarn Yoshi looks great, although not like something 360 and PS3 couldn't do. Pikmin bullshots look nice in some ways, but they're bullshots. The rest are technically underwhelming, but alright. It still looks current/last gen, but that's not necessarily bad.
No.

The look good, like really great current gen games. I'm not getting that Next Gen feel yet but is great to know the device is capable.
X looks really good.
Wonderful 101 also.
Yoshi does nothing for me, seems a bit like LBP.
Windwaker looks sub-par.

Monolith's game looks outstanding due to the scale and art design. Windwaker HD looks like if Rare made an HD game for the 360 in 2013, a really sterile and clean look doesn't really seem to fit Windwaker's mood. Had a paint brush/oil painting look to it before, it was cel shaded but things blended together well.
Wonderful 101 looks very unique and crisp, the other unmentioned games look very blurry.

What's the typical resolution of WiiU games? Is it mostly 720p like the 360 and ps3?

These are screencaps from their art test. Not Windwaker HD.
Rayman/MH3U are the only 1080p so far I think.
To answer the OP. Compare these to last gen and it seems clear the WiiU will allow a level of cleanness to be applied that isn't seen a lot in more recent console games.
Still. We'll see what the final games are like.
