A direct quote as translated on Twitter: "What can be played on the Wii U is restricted by a region-lock feature; software not sold in the same region cannot be played."

I figured I would make a topic out of this so more people would see it and get a better picture out of their Wii U.
The Wii U currently only supports Limited RGB range while the 360, XB1 (currently broken) PS3 and PS4 support full range.
With Limited RGB range you are seeing colors 16-235. With Full, you are seeing 0-255.
I had noticed when playing my Wii U, the picture seemed a bit washed out. The blacks were grey and the colors just didn't pop as much as the other systems.
After a bit of checking around, I noticed my TV was set to "Full RGB" range. After all, why would you NOT want full range? This is typically the default setting on most newer TVs.
Well, the problem is if the source (Wii U) is sending a Limited RGB signal to a TV that is set for Full RGB, it's attempting to display a range it can't read. If you set your TV to Limited, the ranges now match and it looks fantastic. The blacks are black and the colors pop.
The unfortunate side is the same holds true in reverse. If you switch over to the PS4 and it is set to Full RGB while your TV is set to Limited now, your PS4 will appear washed out since it's expecting full range and can't display them.
Here are a few options:
Option 1. If you are lucky, your TV will have a "Auto" mode in addition to Full and Limited RGB which will automatically detect the range and adjust accordingly.
Option 2 - Manually switch to Limited RGB on your TV when playing the Wii U.
Option 3 - Set your TV and all consoles to Limited RGB.
Option 4 - Petition Nintendo to add Full RGB support.
For those that are disappointed with the Wii U picture quality, check your TVs RGB range and set it to Limited or Auto. You'll be impressed.

As outlined on Nintendo's support page, the feature will only work with two working and present consoles (no dice if it's broken or lost), and will transfer users, Nintendo Network IDs, save data and downloaded content from one to the other. Once the transfer is complete, the source Wii U will be formatted.
One presumes this feature won't be too useful in the immediate future, but might have some worth if different models are released down the line, or if you're looking to upgrade from the basic to deluxe model.
Check out all the details on Nintendo's support page.
