The Wii U GamePad is Nintendo's next big home console innovation and the main selling point of the system. A big part of that appeal is the fact that it wirelessly streams the game, whether it's a match for the TV images or alternative features, from the console to the controller. We all know that, but one thing we don't yet know is how well it'll work in practice at home.
Ubisoft has already stated that, from its tests, GamePad latency is just 1/60 of a second, or one frame, which means that the controller's screen will practically match the TV output. That's a positive, but the next major concern is the wireless range that will allow this latency to work effectively, with gamers wondering just how far they can move away from the system. This topic has been addressed in the latest Iwata Asks, including the most important question: will the range make the GamePad functional in the bathroom?
At the heart of Iwata’s tenure at Nintendo was a philosophy of listening.
In 2015, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata sadly passed away. Dear friend and EarthBound creator Shigesato Itoi compiled his musings as a tribute.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa recently sat down with Nikkei to discuss his approach to leading the company through the current Switch era, as well as what influences past presidents like Satoru Iwata and Hiroshi Yamauchi had on him.
nothing wrong with him per say but he just feels kinda lifeless compared to Iwata and lacks the tough guy almost Yakuza vibe Yamauchi gave off
This guy is a penny pincher and has no love of gaming. It is obvious in the half assed ports he is pushing. Iwata we miss you.
