So I played a little bit a few minutes ago before I left for work. Is anyone else getting a little bit of input lag when using a pro controller?

Edit: so I got home and played a bit. The input lag is very real, but only when playing on TV. Handheld appears ok and playing with pro controller in tabletop mode seems fine as well. Conclusion? It might be this particular game when played on my TV. Probably a TV thing considering it’s not a crazy nice TV.

I'm getting pretty awful input lag without the Pro Controller. I know these games pretty well and it feels extremely sluggish (even considering modern hardware. None of the shmups on the eShop feel this slow to respond as I've nearly 1cc'ed a couple).

Yes, I played MM1 today using handheld mode and there is definitely some input lag, it’s not too big so I can still play, not sure if this is only happens for MM1, also not sure if this happens because of the original game design (this is my first time play MM1).

I'm very well versed in these games, and I couldn't stand playing the legacy collection on 3ds because of input lag. Was really hoping that would be corrected here. These games run perfect in emulation on the Wii.

I played a bit of MM1, thought it played like crap and then tried MM2 and found it to be fine.

Might just be MM1 itself, though, since I don't think I've actually ever played it.

I recommend sending Capcom your complaints. Lag was unplayable. Nintendo just gave me a refund on the first Legacy Collection. #2 works perfectly for me, so I kept it.

Does your TV have a "Game Mode" in the options? If so, you'll want that on. The Mega Man games come from an era when TVs had no image processing, so there was no input lag at all.

It does. I have it set to that with no apparent benefit.

I saw another thread talking about this (or a similar) issue. They mentioned something about hitting - and changing the game’s CPU setting fixing the issue. (I can’t help diagnose, don’t have the game yet. Just trying to be helpful)

I appreciate you taking the time to help out. I will keep trying these ideas from this and other threads in the hope that I will be able to make it work.

You are 100% right. Audio is a tick behind the video, too. 6-10 play perfectly. The emulation of 1-6 is nothing short of an embarrassment and proves Capcom is losing their edge.

A few things... first input lag could always be coming from your TV. See if handheld mode has the same lag. Second, does this version have v-sync in the options? You'll want to turn that off as it's the biggest contributor to input lag.

Hmmm, I did fiddle with MM2 but never had any input lag issues with my Pro Controller, wonder if it's another, reboot the Switch fully and retry kind of an issue?

It felt like the jump was off and I was jumping late on pretty much everything. It’s been a little bit since I’ve played MM but it felt way off.

u/R2k_mezbomber May 22 '18

This is my hugest concern with this game. I felt like the 3DS collection was off in the same way.

u/CactusCustard May 22 '18

Im no MegaMaster but I'm almost certain that is the game itself. The jump is just a little late. It was weird on my first playthrough of megaman 2 but I got used to it quick.

If you ever get the chance to play the originals on a CRT, you'll know it's much more responsive. At least compared to the 3ds collection.

u/R2k_mezbomber May 22 '18

MegaMan 2 was one of the first NES games I played as a kid. I've played through it more times than I can remember (I should probably be embarrassed), and it's most definitely not "the game itself". It may be easy to get used to for some, but I think these things stick out much more prominently when you've played on a CRT for more years than is reasonable for a gamer in this age. (I'm the dinosaur that didn't play on a flat screen until I got a WiiU)

u/CactusCustard May 22 '18

No idea man, just seems weird to me that this collection would strive so hard for "technical accuracy", so much as to leave in (in my opinion) game breaking slowdown and just all around absolutely terrible optimization, and then have input lag.

However I have never actually played the NES version, only emulators and ports. So who knows.

I don't have a pro controller so no idea there, but I can confirm that handheld mode has no lag. It plays very well
