Uh... guys...
Couldn't this be because of the 50hz/60hz PAL vs NTSC thing?
Depending on where he lives, and his NES console...
When the gamespeed is different, the controls feel somewhat off.
Like, the PAL Balloon Fight VC version I downloaded felt slow and strange to me.
While the newer VC games are more responsive.

What tiny delay? Last I played F-zero on WiiU's gamepad, which was about an hour ago, there was no delay what so ever.
Had completely forgotten about this. Though I thought NOE fixed that.

Gamepad lag?
My gamepad is faster than my TV,
The youtube videos even starts on the gamepad before the TV.

I know that feeling of F-zero GX bro. I have a HD tv in the living room and in my bedroom an CRT tv with a gamecube. I played a bit with my wavebird a bit of lag i notice it a lot in smash bros but it is doable. But when there are birthdays i play on my wii and my god the input lag is horrible i miss turns and stuff. So i get what you are saying.

Wii U gamepad has close to no lag and is quicker than 95% TVs.
That's not a problem of price. Most modern TV exhibit moderate to high input-lag (the newest Sony seems to be insanely good, though, thank goodness). Most of the time, Sharp has quite a high to very high input lag. Samsung is hit-and-miss.

Yes, the U Pad has input lag, but it's lower than nearly all available TV Sets, the lag is only present when you compare it to the SNES on a CRT TV. Comparing it to streaming devices that have to handle a non completely-steady bitrate is strange.

I'm usually really sensitive to input lag, and I haven't noticed any on my Gamepad. The only VC game I have is Super Metroid, and I was just playing it on the Gamepad the other night with no noticeable input lag. I run my Wii U on an ASUS V238H, which is the LED version of the monitors they use at Evo, if I recall; my Gamepad keeps up with it more or less 1:1, in my observation.
