I don't know if you're only getting the GBA games on the controller screen, or on the telly, or both. I don't know how the WiiU VC works so far in this regard?
GBA: 240x160 resolution, 3.3 x 3.23 in. You simply cannot translate that onto a TV screen. But I guess it would work on the GamePad, though it is still twice as large (5.3 x 10.2 in)... Hope they'll give it a little pixel boost instead of keeping the native size or, worse, magnifying the games.

I feel like picking up a WiiU soon. I was always genuinely unimpressed by it but when it comes to Nintendo, it was always about the games. And now they're sloooowly starting to build a library, as expected. Wind Waker, Mario 3D World and that Xenoblade sequel will do it for me. Announce a Kirby, a Metroid, a new Zelda, Fire Emblem and throw in a couple of GBA games, and suddenly the WiiU feels more relevant to me than any PS4 or XBOne in da world. Dunno.
Don't worry about games. Nintendo has them aplenty. It's just having trouble cramming them all into a single console...

Yeah it's up to Konami, not Nintendo.
And Konami treats the retro CV titles like Capcom treats MegaMan.

Well, at least there are 'some' CV's coming out, even if they're not particularly of a type of which I'm too interested.
Exactly, Konami doesn't care about CV. The current state of CV, to me, is the same as MM.

I will decide if I buy a WiiU or a PS4 when the next CV is announced. It depends on what consoles they are going to release it, and it depends more on how the game is. If it follows the LoS formula in music and looks, I will quit. I will still love older CV games and play them, but I will stop caring about future releases.
Konami and Castlevania will be dead to me.

Don't worry about games. Nintendo has them aplenty. It's just having trouble cramming them all into a single console...
Nintendo will always have the games, and they will never disappoint fans. I wish Nintendo would buy Castlevania, that way the franchise would receive the treatment it deserves.
Now I'm tired, eternally walking... forever dying, and never stopping. I feel in sorrow, all I see is white. I’m following a blind way beneath a sad sky.

Wii U is selling less than 10 thousand copies in US each month... flop don't even start to describe the Wii U.

Wii U is the last videogame a publisher will think to launch a game (unless Nintendo gives them money). That's the sad truth.

Personally, after the N64, Nintendo consoles were completely irrelevant to me. I'll always stay with them on the handhelds though.

Maybe N64 nd GCN had just a few good titles on them, but the Wii catalog is very impressive (when it comes to having good games).

Not really.

The few ones I liked I played on the PC with Dolphin and a Wiimote. I'm not into Nintendo games.

What about that device that came out like in 1.999 and was mentioned in Nintendo Power?
That one that allowed you to play Game Boy cartridges in your SNES. I don't remember the name.
That device made Game Boy games look fine in TV's, and from my own experience, GB and GBA games can look very good in a TV. If they apply some filter and just release them as they are, they would look good. 3D is what looks ugly when it pixelates, 2D usually looks always good if they are sprites.
