Wii U GamePad latency claim

According to Rayman creator Michel Ancel - who's working on Rayman Legends for the Wii U - Nintendo's latest home console is capable of streaming data to the wireless touchscreen GamePad controller with just 1/60th of a second latency.

"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."

"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."
