Cool. I guess you don't notice the dip in res that much, because of the smaller screen?

I like my Wii u as much as the next nintendo fan but I'm going to give you my honest opinion on this.

The gameplay experience is much the same in terms of framerate etc, but the reduction in resolution and general visual quality when compared to a (relatively modern) tv is extremely noticeable.

The gamepad is a good addition and I like having the option when the tv is in use, but I never really want to play too much on it as I feel it doesn't do the graphics justice. That is partially down to just how great something like 3d world looks on tv though.

The screen in the gamepad is clearly a very low quality screen when compared to something like the vita screen etc.

He didn't say it was poor, just that it's noticeably worse than the sort of image quality and vibrancy you'd see on a decent TV or on Vita, which is clearly true. Doesn't mean it's bad, offensive, unusable or anything though and you're getting exactly the same game experience otherwise. I mostly play via the pad, my only real issue is the lack of range on it.

Is mario maker a physical game or download only, or both?

I hope the sharing has a most popular, highest rated etc showcase. If that game ends up with a talented community behind it with features like that it will be near limitless platforming bliss.

Yep, this is unarguable. There are certainly games that suffer less for it - games with bold, simple colour schemes look hold up quite well on it (e.g. Wind Waker HD), and of course the virtual console games all look no worse for being on the gamepad, but games with a lot of visual noise - like Bayonetta - really show it up, particularly in any fast-paced scenes where the visuals even look like they may be suffering from compression issues (whether they are, or if it's just the screen itself, I don't know).

My Wii U has stopped reading some discs. I suspect it's having a problem reading dual layer games because Mario Kart works but Mario World and Bayonetta 1/2 don't work.

Really fucking annoying, how are Nintendo about fixing this, anyone had to do it?

Dual layer? Mario 3D World is only 1.7GB, nowhere near the 25GB limit for a single layer Wii U disc. Each Bayonetta disc is single layer too - about 15GB each.

But yes, Nintendo will fix it. Turnaround should be less than a week, but they had a fire at their repair centre recently so it might not be any more.
