Fwiw edge's review said the wiiu version had worse frame rate drops then docked switch

saw this in the other thread...sorry to bring bad news..
Apparently the Edge review says the framerate can get even worse in the WiiU version... Getting even to the "tens"
For some reason I though this game would be smoother on the WiiU, since it was originally developed for, but Nintendo probably decided to push the Switch to the detriment of the WiiU.
Is just one outlet, will wait for other, but it's not a good sign

This is very concerning. Yikes.

I posted that, but they said it happens only during very specific situations. I read somewhere else the quote and though it was more frequent.
I think this is to be expected in an open world game.
Still buying obviously.

Yeah, it's likely not going to be much of an issue for most.
Since Edge is currently our only source for Switch vs WiiU comparisons, do they mention any other differences in how BoTW performs (draw distance, lighting, textures...)?
I currently have the WiiU version preordered but given how epic this game's gonna be I really don't want to get a subpar experience.
I wil because i recently got a second hand wii u bundled with wii pro controller, gamecube controllers(2) wiimote+ and nunchaku, and17 games. So i want to get the game on wii u, i will wait a few years before getting a switch. Never get a console at launch.

Wii U for me not enough games on the switch or information to justify buying it.

Mine also says shipping on March 31st. I had this on order since January 13th. I really do hope that is a typo.
Just changed to 1 day shipping and now it says:
Hope I didn't just fuck up my order.

I did that earlier in the week and it updated to a March 3 ship date. It sounds like Amazon isn't going to have enough stock to fill all pre-order.
For those who still have a 3/3 delivery date, when did you order?

Will buy on Wii U at launch. Then, i will buy again on switch with the DLC.

Fuck that. Not taking any chances. Canceled and just ordered on Best Buy. They seem to still have them.
Is the DLC not coming to Wii U?

It is but I assume he wants the dlc for the definitive version of the game and doesn't want to dig his wiiu out of storage this November

That's pretty much it.

I did vote WiiU but now I'm actually getting a Switch and the only game worthwhile on it is Zelda.
I'm kinda glad I am now, because I can get the DLC without worrying about digging my WiiU at the end of this year.

Buying the WiiU version and will play it on PC with emulator.
WiiU already has an emulator that is capable of running most stuff without issues.

Should another thread be made about the Amazon stock order? If not for this thread I probably wouldn't have checked my order.

I am going the WiiU route. This is the first Nintendo console I haven't bought on launch since the NES. I'll pick up a Switch eventually. But the WiiU still has many hidden gems I've yet to play. And, being mid 40's, time is at a premium these days. I am happy to stick with the WiiU for the time being.
Just to mention, it says the fps drops into the teens in the EDGE review, not tens
I'm getting the Wii U version at launch. Or at least I hope I will get it at launch, I will be quite cross if it's not in the mail that day.
Won't buy a Switch anytime soon, it tend to take about 3-4 years until I feel a console have a good enough game library to be worth buying. Didn't buy my PS4 until a few months ago.

Now that it has been confirmed the WiiU version has worse framerate I can't see one single reason anyone would get it over the Switch version unless you can't actually afford the $300 for a Switch.
The DLC making it tso that you'd have to keep the dead system hooked up for another year was already a major knock against it, this just seals the deal.

The Edge review. They state the WIiU versions frame rate drops into the tens, not so for the Switch version.
CEMU, which has host based timers. It's much better for someone like me who owns a WiiU to get it for that console, rip it and eventually play it on CEMU in 4k. I'll just live with the drops until CEMU is ready.
Yeah after reading that I guess until I get a switch

This new news of the wiiu frame rate is really bumming me out. Looks like I have to find a switch....

Edge review. See post 380 in that thread.
Still say it only happens in busy sections like severe weather and nprarely affects gameplay.
In any case I'll wait for the games to be out and read a lot of impressions before deciding to get it or wait until (if) Switch becomes worth it to me. I'm in no hurry as I'm more hyped for Horizon and Mass Effect anyway.

Oh shit thanks I didn't want to read any reviews, well so much for buying a Wii U and this next week. I'll just wait for the switch to become easily available.
Too early to write that as some sort of issue that will be there at launch, not to mention if you play in handheld mood or with a pro control its a non-issue.

People actually think they are going to be able to play this game in a newly developed emulator with 0 bugs and graphical glitches? Not happening.

I am fully prepared to buy a white Wii U to play Zelda if my Switch pre-order at Walmart falls through.

Good luck finding them. They are discounted and practically not being sold anymore.

Going to give it a month or two and see where opinion on Zelda lands. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were both hyped to the moon and neither did much for me. I'm also not thrilled at the thought of buying a clearly rushed system at launch.
