Wii U firmware update fixes Wii aspect ratio issue
A bunch of you sent in this news. This explanation comes from reader Alex.
Wii mode in Wii U now fixes the long-standing aspect ratio problem the original Wii had. This is an issue that has been troublesome since 2006. The original Wii could differentiate between 4:3 and 16:9 images and would automatically stretch 4:3 images on a 16:9 TV. The Wii U Wii Mode now can discern the difference and automatically adjusts the display accordingly.
If you're wondering, this also applies to Wii VC games. Wii VC games will no long auto-stretch to widescreen format. Thanks again to all that sent this in!
