So I'm looking for a capture card for my Wii U for recording but my price range is about $100 and I am willing to sacrifice quality for price. Cheaper is better and quality matters less to me as long as its better than cellphone quality and it records audio. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your Best Bet if you wanna sacrifice quality for price
Card Here
The Quality is good enough , I have his model and i have 1080p and 60fps ^^ . The down fall is that you need a PC to record and It only works on HDMI consoles

I currently have a (regular) ElGato Game Capture HD (the non 1080p/60FPS version) and the longer I record using it, the more the audio and video start to desync....it's kind of annoying, really, but with some patience, it could work. I can't speak for the HD60. I'm actually looking for a 1080p/60FPS card myself. Apparently, every card has some sort of quirk or downside :(

Looking at the newer Aver Media card, unless El Gato get their hardware/software crap together.....which can be said about Avermedia too >___>

As of right now, I have a Roxio HD Pro. It's just kind of eh. I'm getting the Elgato HD60 Pro to put directly into my motherboard on my PC. Supposed to be the best on the market. Hope it is.

I was thinking about that one too, but I don't have a main laptop and my Wii U sometimes likes to suddenly move into my living room over night while leaving my desktop behind >___> Let me know how that is lol. Heard is was PERFECT for streaming though. Like no video lag, right?

To be quite honest, my comptuer is good enough to stream 1080p 60fps through even a potato. So it definitely will be great. But yes, Elgato is wonderful streaming. If you want, you can definitely check out for yourself how the recording looks,on my youtube and twitch ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'll consider it if you can tell me after say... an hour of RECORDING that the video and sound remains "sunk."

:) (But message me your YouTube channel link though)
