"I can confirm Boulapoire's tweets, Zelda on Wii U is really sad.
On TV it's disappointing, on GamePad it's better i think."
I'm more curious about the pop-in as it's sort of bad on the Wii U. My hunch is that it's bad on both versions but I would like a DF video on it.

In french here.
Rough translation courtesy of Coffinhal:
Strictly talking about the tutorial area :
Strong aliasing
Worse sharpness
Serious framerate drops
Visual issues with cutscenes and when getting out of the inventory
Too many actions (using a power+rotating the camera = "framerate death")
5 sec loading time when you get back to the Home menu
He installed every patch available
The plateau on Switch is bad framerate related and it gets better after, but in the plateau it's nowhere near what the Wii U version is
So basically they half arsed it, and send out the beta version. Got IT! They might as wel have cancelled it and said "Thank you Wii U buyers for all the support you have given us over the years. You drool, we rule!".
Just a Vault-Tec dolls collectorEdit: also, who's this?
How Nintendo thanks Wii U owners ...
If the game ran so bad, surely Edge would've said something. As for graphic fidelity, well, it *is* a Wii U game.
Edit: also, who's this?
With the game being leaked and all, has no one uploaded new Plateau footage of the Wii U version?
There's this which im not sure if its been posted or not.
Most impressions are coming from pirated copies using various ways to play the game. It may or may not be affecting how the game plays. Some people say the frame rate is fine others make it out like it's unplayable. A couple people have said theres a town where the frame rate in single digits quite often which seems off. I cant imagine Nintendo would release a game in that state but who knows.
Because us Nintendo fans are crazy, we'll just buy their next box anyway. .
At least we aren't as rabid as Sony Fanboys on forum (gosh they are toxic, not talking about the fans here, but the downright fanboy bullshit they can spew), but Sony Fans are not crazy that they just buy any box handed to them (as PS3 has proven ). Nintendo fans however ....... sigh I feel ashamed at myself.....
I mean, I know I will not be able to withstand the pressure and cave in... and just buy the next Nintendo branded hardware. But I mean:
* Seeing Wii U owners off like this (even though they were amazingly loyal to you )
* No Power Supply with a 3DS
* Needing an adapter for the headphone jack on the GBA SP.
* Suing the people that catalogue your Nintendo power publications so that they won't go lost with time.
The list goes on and on.. we Nintendo fans are just masochists by this point .

How lucky that the game is universally praised then.Now we have two shitty versions of the game !
Wii U: downgraded visually and no feature on the gamepad to not compete with the Switch version
Switch: bad performances because it's just a port from the Wii U version ...
Nintendo isn't Nintendo anymore

Oh, didn't know that. Makes sense it runs like shit for those guys since and serves them well.
I remember being at a friend's house one time, he had a modded ps3 -even though I always forget that was even possible - and had Uncharted 3 loaded from the hard drive I believe.
Game did all sorts of wacky things, like loading taking forever, framerate dropping like a rock and young drake getting stuck in places, going through walls and breaking cutscenes. And that was like half an hour worth of gameplay.
I was so worried the game could be that badly optimized, but did nothing of the sort once I later played the retail version on my ps3.
That's not to say BTW won't run like shit on WiiU, but I would completely disregard the opinions of those playing pirated copies based on what I've just told.

Sounds like the large scope, poor Wii U hardware, 2 platform development and the launch deadline have worked their toll. It might actually be the best it can be though.

Seems like Nintendo is still Nintendo hun 💅🏻
How lucky that the game is praised on one out of 2 platforms.
By all accounts Nintendo has completely failed to release a quality product for the Wii U, and its sad that they've decided to release their very last game for the system in such a poor state.

These are simply softmodded WiiU's that run the game exactly as any other Wii-U. Sorry to burst your bubble.
It's possible, we have no idea how shitty their storage option is for their "homebrew".

All accounts meaning one well respected publication (Edge) that had almost all positive things to say and the rest being completely unverified sources?

Also, this guy on Reddit appears to be having a different experience than the doom and gloom reports. He has a physical disc.

Still reports some slow down but nothing major.
I wonder how many impressions are from people playing it through Loadiine, as the game exhibits some extra problems with that method just as Twilight Princess HD did before it.
I wish Nintendo apologized and released a patch to optimize performances on Wii U.
Pirates are installing it on the console flash storage, which should be the fastest option available from a data reading perspective.It apparently doesn't run well with loadiine. Running it off SD like some are doing might not be ideal either. Plus you have many using methods to break region locking etc.
I'm curious how the eshop (full install) version will run vs the retail (partial install + streaming). GTAV ran better using both disc and hard drive which might be the case again with Zelda.
I've read that it takes like 15 minutes for the overworld to load, which is why I think that your question has "not many" for an answer.]I wonder how many impressions are from people playing it through Loadiine[/B], as the game exhibits some extra problems with that method just as Twilight Princess HD did before it.

GAF overreacting? Well I never.
To be honest thought almost everyone was "I have to play this on the Switch or it will be hot garbage" and now people are drifting towards "Wait... I already have a WiiU".
Only 3 more days.
