Do you usually play Wii U games on the TV, or on the GamePad?

[Nabber]

I generally look at the GamePad, since I don't have an HDTV, but what about the rest of you?

 

[Xiahou Dun]

I play my Wii U games on my HDTV, so I look at the TV screen.

 

[Mario4Ever]

Depends on the game, though I mostly play by looking at the TV.

 

[YamiHoshi]

It differs per game.
For example:
I play NSMBU on my GamePad, because it's a bit faster than my TV.
I play Nintendo Land on my TV, because both outputs different Video.

I play on my TV.

 

[Fazer]

Mostly on the TV.

TV has latency. GamePad hasn't. Mostly GamePad only.

Funny thing if I connect my Wii U to my grandma's TV with AV, there's no latency at all.

 

[YamiHoshi]

That's because AV is less resource-heavy than HDMI.
I have a Component Capture Card and HDMI Capture Card myself, there's no delay on the Component one, while on the HDMI, there's 5 seconds of delay (that's why it requires 2 HDMI Cables, one going to the TV, and the other going to the Console).

 

[Lakituthequick]

5 seconds is a bit overkill, not?

 

[YamiHoshi]

Actually, it is.

 

[Lakituthequick]

Well, for just recording it's feasible, but not for playing.

 

[YamiHoshi]

Not really, as you have to play while recording.

Games such as Nintendo Land and Game & Wario I look at the TV, but for platformers such as NSMBU I look at the GamePad as it's easier to control.
