RUMOR - Wii U 'Off TV' play to bring about latency issues?
This is just one person's opinion, so let's not jump to conclusions.
I actually preferred playing exclusively on the GamePad, as it was less confusing than the TV hybrid play. However, I felt as though there was a tiny bit of latency. My response time felt slightly slower than when playing on the TV--makes sense, given the Wii U GamePad is receiving a wireless video feed. Also, the game obviously loses some fidelity on the GamePad's low resolution screen.
This could be explained through a number of reasons. Perhaps the person playing was perceiving something that wasn't there. Perhaps this was a product of how far away he was from the Wii U. Maybe it had something to do with other Wii U interference. It could even be related to the game still being in development. Let's check out all those avenues before we really start worrying about lag issues.
