Users Are Reporting "Greatly Reduced" Input Lag On Zelda: Wind Waker For NSO

I suggest playing it on a GameCube, a Wii and if you don't have one of those, your phone will likely run it very well.

"Actually playable" 😂😂😂

Also known as skill issues

@Hero-of-WiiU yeah, the coders.

I haven't played it on NSO, yet. I played the game on Wii U and don't feel a particular need to revisit it on NSO, because the Wii U version is superior. But glad to read that the input lag issues have been resolved!

That's cool and all but i'd still prefer it if they released the HD version on Switch 2

What about other GC titles? It felt bad on F-Zero as well. If it's just Wind Waker that's kinda, whatever, but a step in the right direction.

I already have Wii U version and I didn't experience with lag input.
The Wii U version looked way much better than GameCube version, more colorful and brighter.

@Yosher F-Zero GX feels a lot better, if there is still a lag it's really not noticable to me.

Wind Waker as I recall had a bit of lag in the original game played on the GameCube too, definitely in the roll at least which has a slight delay built in.

@Anti-Matter I think that the Wii U HD version with the Gamepad is the best way to play the game. With the Gamepad, inventory management no longer pauses the game. Of all the improvements in the HD version, this one feature has the most impact on gameplay.

@JohnnyMind Yeah, that's ridiculously hyperbolic but that seems to be a common thing with a lot of the Switch 2 discourse online :-/

@Suketoudara Awesome, thank you for letting me know. Will definitely give F-Zero GX another shot then! I played it a ton back on GC, hopefully it now more closely replicates the feel of the original.

@JohnnyMind & also @Suketoudara People often overreact to a lot of things on the internet, and they're really too quick to judge anything as being worse than it really is. Whether it's gameplay, graphics, nerdy voice acting in the isolated shooter adventure, that one tiny little sidequest in the corner of the map in a JRPG, etc. It is what it is though, I'd say don't let these things judge how you yourself experience these games. You be the judge of your own experience!

I played it back in in October / early November and had no problems with input lag back then - at least none that I noticed.

I know there using it as a reason to buy a Switch 2 but honestly I think Switch 1 could of done decent GameCube emulation, fact we got Sunshine in wide screen and hd textures and on a cartridge on Switch 1 proves it can be done. Still odd why Sunshine hasn't been added yet to NSO tho Wario World is more then welcomed

It would be cool if Nintendo actually listed changes on every update instead of having us guess and get a feel and potentially get placebo'd.

@Yosher 💯 I don't bother with most gaming social media outside of this site and a select few high quality YouTube channels now for that reason

Considering I completed it on during switch 2 launch weeks, definitely not unplayable by any means. This is from someone who played on GameCube and Wii U. I’m sure more noticable for speed runners, but for people who just play games to, you know, just enjoy them, it’s far from unplayable. Good that they are resolving the issues and ideal if not there in the first place.

Will never understand how people stick up for this; it’s embarrassing for Nintendo. Treat me mean and keep em keen?

It’s a game that was heavily advertised on the build up to the Switch 2 launch, even though they knew the emulation was awful.

Actually reduced input lag is being reported for all NSO GCN games on the service prior to the update that added Wario World. It's not just Wind Waker

I'd rather play it on Wii U.

Glad to hear its had an improvement, the lag was definitely noticeable if you're used to the gamecube version. That said I still 100% it and still had a great time with it.
