It's a joke base off a post earlier in the year by some fan mad at Nintendo

The current state of Nintendo: pushing out unpolished turds like Hyrule warriors Age of calimatiy this holiday

All the demo did for me was confirm that it'll be a day one purchase. I had an absolute blast with it.
It really is worth understanding that most gamers don't even notice frame drops, much less find themselves enraged by them.
I've played the demo and will be paying for the game. Nothing there that I had a problem with. SOZ.
Everyone has a right to complain but these types of threads - the way they're written and phrased.... It just comes across as childish and ignorant. It's tiring and way too common.

It kinda looks like every time there's a Nintendo release these kinds of threads always appear lol. I played it a bit and I loved it. Stopped playing because I don't want to et the whole experience.
Could I not say the same to you? You've not seen them either and yet you're making assertions about XYZ. Based on my personal experience on projects like this, I have doubts that Nintendo has no say in the product that ships on November 20th. It's highly unlikely that they have limited to zero creative control over the product, and I doubt there is much stopping them from providing technical support should it be needed.
I'm not saying they have the power to stop the product from shipping. I'm saying that contrary to your post, it's extremely unlikely that they have little say in the project.
It's a game based on a Nintendo property that Nintendo is publishing themselves in some regions. It is a first party title. Cadence of Hyrule is a hard one to define as I think it's the first time Nintendo has licensed out their property to an indie studio with no big publisher attached (although I know Spike Chunsoft published in Japan). Regardless, if Nintendo is licensing out the IP to a developer and has some creative input in the product then it's first party, yes.
This is a well dwveloped Mosou, imho
This kind of games has tons of action on screen and Always stutter in terms of frame rate
Even other episodes on switch had similar performances
Yes, isnt that polished, as usual omega force prodcuts
But It Is also tons of fun
Too bad Nintendo didnt have other First party internally developed games for this holiday I agree
But this hw game seems a good product honestly

I'm a bit confused at the replies just blaming it on being a musou. Outside of DW9 and a couple of the other Switch ones, they've been solid for like at least ~10 years. Even the Vita releases were surprisingly decent.
I don't agree with calling it unpolished (though it does run terribly).

You have to realize, only hardcore forums with opinions such as ffvii remake will outsell animal crossing care about these things.
I spoke to a friend yesterday about AoC and he never mentioned the framerate.
Like.. no one i know cares about framerates
We knew this year would be awful to be a Nintendo fan, when your biggest game release in March and everything else is port + Paper Mario.
Hopefully next year will be much better.
Fire Emblem Warriors had a 60fps mode and I really miss it, Age of Calamity is still enjoyable. If you want to see bad performance, play Warriors Orochi 4.

Some of us are sensitive enough to it that it affects whether we can play or not - I see concerns about framerates dismissed more than championed on here.
The way this thread is framed is not judging the game particularly fairly though.
100% agree with this.
At the end of the day, it's good that there's a demo so at least these people won't be creating threads on launch day saying Nintendo fooled them... right? (Yeah, right...)
I wish I had that kind of money to be so eager for a new expensive piece of hardware that will turn the one I own obsolete.
You 30fps snobs go play your games in other consoles, I for one love this slideshow 15fps game that give me that ultra cinematic feel.
Thank you Nintendo, Thank you Koei

Excluding the obvious hyperbole in the OP, I do agree about the poor performance being very noticeable, I played the demo yesterday and I think I'm gonna wait and see if the Switch Pro rumors are true, maybe that one will be able to run this at a locked 30. Game seems pretty fun from what I played, so I'd definitely like to try it, but not with this performance. Oh and the cutscenes make it even clearer how stupid it is to still have Link not say a word in 2020.
Yup. I've played a few Musou games this gen, and while some (Dynasty Warriors 8) are all over the place, newer ones (PW3 for example) have a way better, smoother FPS. Then trying the new Hyrule Warriors and somehow its even worse than it was with DW8 (which at least would hit 60FPS at points).
The gameplay seems pretty rad though, I liked how the combat felt, just wish the game didn't run like ass.
If you don't have much say in a game that is set in one of your most important IPs, you are doing it wrong. And I don't think that Nintendo, a company that is infamous for being very controlling, would work like that.
Same like devs target New 3DS versions or PS4 Pro and Xbox One X version with new games?
There is no way that devs will target "Pro" version that will have like 10x less install base at end than current Switch versions.
This is specific situation, not only that this game yet needs to be out, but most "Warriors" games have frame rate problems.
I can usually tell when there are framerate drops. I noticed maybe 5-6 of them happen in my 2 hours with the demo.
Maybe they're just dropping to like 27-28fps the majority of the time and that I can't notice, but it almost never dropped a very noticeable amount in my playthrough. I seriously feel like I got a different version of the game than many others. I even asked about version numbers and regions.
Word.
These threads would work much better if OP would just list some straight facts (like the developer and what/or how the games of that style usually run on said plattform) and make its argument without having resort to the over dramatization. When the thread comes off as if a company kidnapped your children just based on the performance for a demo of Dynasty Warrior game.
The notion of being straight up offended on how some of these games with Nintendo affiliation run on Switch - Links Awakening, Pikmin 3 or now AoC - seems weird to me, sure you can disappointed and push/hope for more optimization or future updates, but the exaggeration every time is a bit much.
Plenty of current-gen games run subpar on Base systems - hell games like MHW that were released in 2017 already ran much better on Pro/One X than on base systems. Devs dont give a damn and they have been focusing on the latest and shiniest hardware for a while - see CDPR Dilemma.
Itrs gonna be the same on Switch for ambitious 3rdParty titles. As long as they get it to run on the base systems they will be happy but you will wanna play on the Pro Switch for the best and optimized experience for the 2nd half Switch titles coming on 2021.
I dunno. That's what make it fun methinks. Especially when characters say lines on level up and stuff and Link is just "huh", "hah", "hyah" 🤣
Yeah, OP complains Nintendo pushing out unpolished turds, but then the Thread Title is unpolished.
I'm hardly a frame rate snob, but it runs so badly in spots that it's legitimately hard to play. Like an enemy is winding up to attack you, you're waiting, ready to dodge, and then the frame rate tanks. When it stabilizes, you've already taken a bunch of damage.
Oh gosh, no... let him be silent. I've been playing games with silent protagonists for two decades and I've never seen the problem in that. I believe it would be more jarring to see Link talk.
I've dropped the demo twice now because of how inconsistent the framerate is in the opening Hyrule Field section. From the analysis I saw - I think the framerate hovers around the low twenties when there are a lot of enemies about.
Your post history makes it sound like you're not into BotW stuff anyway OP.
You also said a while back you had no interest in the game anyway.

They don't use the BOTW engine.
They use assets from BOTW but the engine is the warriors one.
I don't know what to tell you, It's a Warriors game. Keep expectations low and maybe you won't get burned. Also, I think Nintendo has had a pretty decent year, all things considered.
Dear God, no. Here's hoping he stays a silent protagonist.
