I've been reading some other message forums and a few people have mentioned that Hyrule Warriors in Coop Mode is an unplayable mess.

 

It is not an "unplayable mess" to most others who played and posted about it, but as mentioned in the Nintendo Direct, the resolution in game is lowered to allow dual screen coop. One player on game pad and other on TV.

 

The resolution hit and some frame drops here and there have not taken away the fun most are having it seems, but the few who like to be vocal would say this shouldn't be happening in 2014 and the Wii U hardware is weak... just another bashing.

 

Please keep in mind...

 

• The game is rendering the battlefield TWICE
• Tons (hundreds) of Enemies with AI
• almost any system would take a performance hit in this scenario....

but it's not unplayable.

 

For those wondering why Nintendo didn't allow coop, one on gamepad / one on TV in Mario Kart 8.. this is why. The only hit in coop is frame rate reduced from 60 to 30.

Sad to hear. One of my best friends and I are gonna still rock co-op this Saturday.

I will openly say that the other two current gen systems would probably not experience the same level of performance hits in this exact situation.

 

At the same time, there's no denying that a game that Nintendo puts money into is generally not focused on graphical performance.  Despite having some of the prettiest games in the industry, Nintendo's money has always been spent on the gameplay/environment, not on high performance, high fidelity graphics...
