“And I think this is where Nintendo is really out in front of things. The technology inside the controller is quite a bit more advanced than what people might think. It’s really responsive. The response time is crazy, in fact, and I think the competitors will need some time to [get their solutions] this responsive.

“It’s crazy because the game is running in full HD [on the television], we are streaming another picture on the GamePad screen, and it’s still 60 frames per second. And the latency on the controller is just 1/60 of a second, so it’s one frame late. It’s crazy, it’s so fast. It’s almost instant. That’s why it responds so well. So it can be used as a real game-design thing.”

Definitely worth the money.

Kind of proves that the Wii U is really powerful, but also that the power is not necissarily graphic-wise, but more like.. More important stuff like this.

I personally find the fact that the GamePad can run 60fps fascinating. Prior to the testimonies of developers I thought that it would be running at between 40-50fps with a slightly unnoticeable lag between the TV.
it just goes to show that underestimating Nintendo often results in ironic disappointment.

Doesn't surprise me. Nintendo has always built extremely stable and high quality hardware.

Good to hear information.
I knew the wii u would be fast, just cant wait to see it in my own hands.
Also while everyone is trying to get the specs of the wii u what about the gamepad specs. how much ram whats processor, etc..
Somw just see it as a controller but really its a tablet.
I remember watching the previews and you can play games like chest on the table without the system being on.

[Crackkat]

just imagine 6 years down the line if the wii u is showing age, all they need to do is switch off the controller screen and all of a sudden you unlock a whole lot more power

From what I played of it the games looked great, and played great on the controller. Everything they said seems to be true.

That was probably on older hardware not running near final or final specs. And I hope Microsoft and Sony are underestimating Nintendo lol

[JaylisJayP]

I was never really worried about it being fast/1-1...my biggest concern is how it will be implemented, and will it feel like a smooth addition to traditional gameplay or will it feel like a chore to have to utilize it on each game.

[cannonshane]

^^^ that's my one and only worry, sometimes the wiimote felt like that.
