The latest review scores from Weekly Famitsu have appeared online and this week’s edition gives us the first review of the highly anticipated Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity for the Nintendo Switch. The Japanese publication awarded the game a very positive 36/40.

That’s too high a score for a game that plays at 15 fps
It’s possible they fixed the framerate. Sometimes demos can be on older builds than people assume.
Musou games cannot be fixed. Framedrops is part of the deal thanks to the unnecessarily high number of on-screen enemies.
When they re-release this on a more powerful Switch, it should have slightly better performance which might be worth relooking into.
Who said that?
Search this games performance issues on YouTube
Is it really that bad? I’ve got like 10 hours of playtime in the demo and haven’t noticed anything. Damn…. I thought I was better at noticing framerate issues than that….. apparently not.
Here’s a trick. Have you played Mario Odyssey? Trying playing it again for an hour then boot up this game and it will be easy to tell.
Games can be fixed you idiot! You would be baffled by how powerful current processors are if the code is fully optimized. 99% of the time games run poor because of aweful code and not because of limited hardware!
If it was as easy as you claim, then why don’t they just fix it? I never said the hardware is lacking. If Switch can run games like BotW and Mario Odyssey smoothly, then this piece of crap should run well but it seems that developers are just too lazy or rushed to put out quality optimised games.
Not long ago the only people who could program were people with a university degree. These people were good but also scarce and thus highly paid. Games nowadays need much bigger teams and the good programmers are the ones who lead a project and not the ones who actually type code. Everyone who has some programming experiece as a hobby can apply for a job as a programmer these days. That’s why games today are coded very bad and also full of bugs.
Well i dont think they rated the game a 9 strictly for fps.
Will wait for PROPER reviews to come out. Famitsu are about as credible as Trumps allegations
Famitsu are useless. Not much point in reporting their scores honestly.
