Input Lag / Motion Delay - Wii U Forum

BulbasaurusRex · 2015-03-05T10:05:44+00:00

Now that I have a Wii U, I've noticed that it suffers from some rather significant input lag and motion delay. It's not a problem for turn-based games, and for some other games it's not as much of a problem, but it really affects my performance in a lot of games. Sure, I can play directly on the GamePad to negate the problem, but I don't want to be stuck playing most of my games on such a tiny screen. I can also transfer the save data from many of my Wii retail games back to my Wii to play them there, but that doesn't help with my digital games nor any games that previously used an online connection. Is there any way to fix the problem, like a way to hook up a controller directly to the Wii U (and plays more than just one game), a way to hook the Wii U up to an old CRT set (which is where I play my Retro Duo and my Wii)? Is it possible to perform a reverse transfer of my Wii's digital games back to my Wii, which would at least solve the problem for those games?

My HDTV doesn't have any type of advanced settings, so that's probably why it's 8ms. Game Mode isn't even all that accurate with lighting or color, from my experience, so that mode gets rid of input lag, but now your color and lights are all off. That's why it's good to do more research than most people probably do.

There is a difference in the game setting for the image and a game mode that turns off processing. When you are looking at the vanilla settings like Movie, game and yadda yadda, that is just a picture setting which changes color and brightness and what have you. Some TV's have a setting that literally turns off all their processing and they aren't all created equal either. Some manufacturers decide to do it but still have things running for some reason. In any event, there is a difference.
Also, response time, reported in ms, is not the same as input lag. Two different things. I tried to explain that in this thread prior, but not sure if I did a real good job of it. lol
