Hyrule Warriors Switch Improves Over Wii U - But It's Still Not Good Enough

This Definitive Edition on Switch unlocks the game to 60fps - but can it actually achieve it consistently? Tom and John discuss the merits of a much-improved release over Wii U, but also the clear pitfalls it has in performance while docked and as a handheld.

I did notice the portable mode looked surprisingly sharp, that said it would be a much better experience to drop the 1080p downscaling because it obviously can't handle it, hopefully they patch it.

It's fine in handheld. I've played countless hours. THe cutsceens are a little iffy but that's literally it. Damn people see one video of someone exaggerating and BS-ing and now everyone assumes it runs like crap in handheld. It REALLY doesn't. Take it from someone who's logged more hours than you can count in both the Wii U and 3DS, as well as the Switch version of this game (I've been no-lifing it).

It's like people WANT to make up reasons for a game to "suck". Stop trolling.

Dunno how you think i'm trolling, i never implied the game "sucks". I have the game too and like it but it clearly drops below 30 fps for stretches in handheld mode, it would objectivity be a better experience if they'd patch it to 720p in handheld mode so eliminate this issue, no need to get hostile.

The framerate drop is barely noticable. Like -2 frames, MAX during gameplay. I've beaten story mode, and all but 2 maps. Again I no-life this game each time it releases. People are throwing around "oh it drops like -10+ it's HORRIBLE with the frames!"

And I'm so damn tired of hearing those blatant lies.

[Vegamyster]

They're not blatant lies, maybe on the first two maps but not on the larger more intricate maps. Omega Force's games have had performance issues the past two gens, a simple res change to this game which wouldn't change the visuals that much would probably have it run liked docked mode instead.

[Foraoise]

They ARE blatant lies. Again, I've PLAYED SO MUCH of the game. There really isn't much of a difference between the two modes. You're clearly going off of that one video that's been floating around, lying, gathering ignorant viewers to jump to a conclusion. It's idiotic.

Again. I've beaten the game, have TWO ADVENTURE MAPS LEFT (One is a few tiles away from being beaten, with the other being mostly beaten); I would know. You're wrong. Stop lying, stop trolling, stop bandwaggoning with ignorance.
