@Ralizah The Wii U only has an RGB range of 16-235, which is different from most modern consoles like the Switch, Xbox One, and PS4 which all can do 0-255.
However, most TVs and capture cards have a setting to account for this, and they will "stretch" the 16-235 values to 0-255. If this setting is active, it shouldn't look washed out. Most TVs do this automatically, and it sounds like yours does too.
Looks like whoever captured this footage misconfigured their capture card settings (or simply left them default), so that quirk of the Wii U shows.

I'd be so happy. One of my most anticipated games coming out on my birthday? Yes please.

This is awesome but it always annoys me that they don't sync the footage with the music...
