	Usually you will need to get a powered splitter for the A/V connector you are using. The exception is that some high definition capture cards have a passthrough feature where they are able to both capture the signal and broadcast it to your television without introducing any lag. If your capture device doesn't support this feature then you will have to get a powered splitter.		Usually you will need to get a powered splitter for the A/V connector you are using.

	If you are recording capture footage using an HDMI connector, you do not have to worry about HDCP (High Definition Content Protection). The Wii U's video signal does not contain HDCP and so this is not a concern when recording. ~~Other consoles such as the~~ Playstation 3 ~~and XBox 360 use~~ HDCP with the HMDI connector.

	The ~~Wii U emulates the Wii U's~~ Virtual Console~~. You can download Virtual Console titles that were released~~ on the Wii ~~directly onto the~~ Wii U and ~~access it from the emulated Wii menu. Additionally, any Virtual Console games that have been purchased on the Wii may be transferred to the Wii U~~. The Wii U ~~processes games differently than~~ the original Wii ~~does. Previously, the Wii Virtual console would render games at their original resolution~~. This ~~meant that Nintendo and Super Nintendo games would be rendered at 240p. Many capture cards did not support this resolution and were thus incapable~~ of ~~recording footage~~ from the Wii~~'s Virtual Console. The Wii U has fixed this~~.		The Virtual Console emulates games from other systems allowing you to play them on the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS. The Wii U has its own library of available titles and it also is capable of emulating the original Wii. This gives it access to all of the content from the Wii shop.

	When you play a Virtual Console game, the Wii U upsamples the video resolution to match whatever your Wii U resolution settings are. Let's say that you connect your Wii U to a high definition television using the HDMI connector. You download the original Super Mario Bros. from the Virtual Console. This means that if you download Super Mario Bros. on Virtual Console that your Wii U would render the signal for the original Super Mario Bros. in 1080p! Capturing older games in resolutions drastically higher than their originally designed does not necessarily give you better quality video, but it does make the Wii U video signal compatible with more video capture devices.

	The Wii U has ~~recently released~~ its own Virtual Console. ~~The~~ Wii U ~~renders titles downloaded here~~ at ~~whatever your~~ Wii U's ~~system~~ resolution ~~settings are~~ instead of ~~your game~~'s ~~original~~ resolution.

			===Wii U Virtual Console Releases===
			The Wii U's eshop gives you access to its own titles. The Wii U's virtual console does not contain many of the titles that are available for the Wii. There are some notable titles like Earthbound that are available on the Wii U Virtual Console, but not the Wii.
			'''Note:''' When playing a game from the Wii U e shop the game will be rendered at the Wii U's resolution instead of the games original resolution. Ex: Super Mario Bros. original resolution is 240, but when played on the Wii U it is rendered at the system's resolution setting.
			Differences between Wii U Virtual Console and Wii Virtual Console:
			*Full gamepad support (you can view titles
			*Options to create restore points (these work sort of like savestates on emulators, however you only get one)
			*Slighty better video quality (versus emulating the Wii Virtual Console on the Wii U)
