Ubisoft developer says Wii U GamePad response time is ‘crazy' fast

. Gamers worried about the streaming latency for the Nintendo (NTDOY) Wii U GamePad can finally let out a sigh of relief. In a recent Nintendo Power interview, Rayman Legends developer Michel Ancel said the Wii U GamePad latency is “just 1x60 of  a second” or roughly “one frame late.” To the human eye, that's virtually unnoticeable.
The impressed Ancel said, “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.”

It's been confirmed that the Wii U should be able to stream content over to the GamePad at distances up to 24 feet.
