Just one small question... What is the logic of saying the console send a 1080p resolution image (diferent than the one going to the screen) to the 480p gamepad when even on the big screen a lot of games aren't even 1080p???

I can only recall one user saying that.

Yep, but since he never explained just stated I decided to ask for the general WiiU users and that have knowledge about it... because I don't see much reason on Ninty designing it like that (but if true maybe someone could explain?), they seem to know how to utilize their assets to make the most pleasant experience without wasting resources.

However good the games look on my tv and gamepad is what i judge them by. Talking about frame-rates does not matter to me only footage of the final product.

THE POWAH O´UNICORN TEARS!



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I say no, you can't really call them 60FPS screens, unless they do run at 60 frames per second. Some of us, like me, get excited at 60P, and it's not nice to tease.

720+480@30p

And remember it's height times width times FPS.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

What are you meaning with 60 vs 30? The hardware supports 60FPS if that's what you're getting at.



He's getting confused over the fact that when you use two WiiU gamepads it splits the frame rate in half.

The WiiU's tech mirrors and streams whats on the TV, otherwise its processing what ever is on the pad.

If the game runs at 60FPS, great, you can say that.

But you can not add up two separate screens at both 30FPS and call it 60FPS.  It's two screen at 30FPS, that's what I was getting at.

It's like saying my car get 50mpg, and my friend's gets 50mpg, so when we driver together, we can not say it's 100mpg, but each at 50mpg.
