Gaming N64 WiiU VC, is it that bad?

[Erxkum]

I don't really mind the dark filter, but some people mentioned the input lag is horrible, is that true?
I really want the WiiU injects to play Pokemon Stadium Mini games, but if the input lag is that bad, then the mini games will be nearly impossible.

Also, If I purchase a WiiU Gamecube adapter, will I be able to use 4 gamecube controllers?

Yes, I suggest reading up on the guides to inject ROMs, removing filters, etc.

its fine to me imo, besides the filter its decent, dont beleive everything you hear, played alot of games there with no issues.

Then I need to get myself a GameCube adapter
Is Donkey Kong the only N64 game that supports widescreen?

My LED 4k Samsung TV is not the best regarding input lag, so I'm worried.

I don't really like the filter though, that one I'm going to remove.

Honetly whoever complains about the N64 vc either hasn't booted up a N64 for a while or only grew up with PC emulation. just 100% Mario 64, the 2 Zelda games and Banjo and DK 64 not too long ago and it was more or less what you'll expect it to be... Well DK 64 ran too fast at some points but that was because how bad the game was programed in the first place.

Thank you for the feedback, I'm worried about accuracy and input lag, I recently got my hands on an SNES mini and I'm so disappointed, the mini is under-powered and even official filters suck, I would've stuck with my Wii if I knew the accuracy was like this, the only problem with the wii is that it stretches the VC games instead of running them in 4:3.
The money I spend on the Mini(70€) should have gone for an OSSC instead.
I'm starting to think my best option is to make a small factor PC to hook up to my TV and run emulators more accurately, I also need to buy a good TV for my retro gaming, I heard LG ones are good.

Isn't the Wii VC better in general? Seems like the input lag is better

The only problem with N64 on wii u is the Analog stick on the wii u controller. I really suggest using a wii classic controller because of the octagon analog stick gate which helps for more straight and precise movement than the Circle gate the wii u pro and gamepad has. DK64 was a nightmare that way, but glad I beat it 100% which was a tedious slog.

Turning on Game Mode in the TV gets rid of input lag.

Game mode decreases input lag from the television. I'm talking lag inherent to the Wii U ports, from what I've read N64 & SNES gams have more lag than their Wii counterparts. Not sure how much of that is true since not many people have commented on it and a lot of people says it "plays well for me" (not an answer).

I've stuck to my Wii versions because I'm too lazy to get Retroarch running but maybe I'll switch over

I didnt notice the input lag on Wii U until I played Banjo Kazooie, it was a nightmare the input lag from the Wii U Pro Controller was horrible.

I played VC Wii Games on real Wii and it was a pleasure not having stupid lag!

I use the gamepad fix version of n64 and be sure to run sign c2w patcher to overlock the speed.
