The WiiU port vs. Nintendo Switch version

They're letting people switch to another console or get a full refund. You can't get more careful than that.

No one is going to sue anyone over this, Jesus Christ! Countless other Kickstarters have underdelivered or canceled promised stuff before and not one has been sued. I haven't checked but I can assure you the platform shields itself with disclaimers up the ass when you sign up to the website. If successfully suing Creators was that easy it would've happened already.

I'm sure Iga will go about the inevitable cancellation of the WiiU version carefully but this is not grounds for any sort of lawsuit. Get real!

I've said this before: if you were still gaming exclusively on a WiiU in December of 2016 and were savvy enough as to Kickstart a spiritual successor to a niche game like SotN chances are you're either a hardcore Nintendo fan (meaning you probably are going to get the Switch eventually anyway) or an overall hardcore gamer (thus you'll manage to get something to play Bloodstained on).

This game isnt coming out until 2018. Are there seriously many people who are going to keep chugging along as a WiiU exclusive gamer by then? If you Kickstarted this game you're not a casual. By then you would've upgraded your computer, jumped to another current gen console, or bought a Switch.

For the betterment of Bloodstained and the future of a potential prolific franchise I truly hope Iga does the right thing and cancels the WiiU version. Let's not forget that the Switch does support the UE4 which already means that that port would be easier, faster, and cheaper than whatever hoops Armature would've had to jump just to make UE4 run on WiiU, let alone downgrade the game to be playable on one.

Yup. A train goes wildly outta control, and could potentially kill a lot of people by going off of a cliff. Let them all die, or push a fat man in the way of the train to essentially stop the train and save all of the passengers.

We all know that the Wii U's hopes and dreams are coming to an end.

...just like the fat man.

Someone in the KS comments asked how to change his platform choice from PS4 to Switch ;p

haha it's already gone that far. Don't think he will be the last.

It's now being reported by outlets like Gamespot that Nintendo Switch allegedly will not be as powerful as any current-gen hardware: www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-specs-report-1-teraflop-of-perform/1100-6446282/ Even so, will this be an issue for Bloodstained or Yooka Laylee, or will it be "good enough"?

yeah im still leaning toward pascal for this simple reason

Nintendo Switch is powered by the performance of the custom Tegra processor. The high-efficiency scalable processor includes an NVIDIA GPU based on the same architecture as the world’s top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards.

now, unless they pull off a miracle no it wont be more powerful than ps4, but what it can do is use what it has very, very, VERY well and be somewhere between xbone and ps4

"They are never a technology pioneer" i cant stop laughing at how wrong this is when youre talking about nintendo, but i do agree with peddies ultimate point though that its gameplay and immersion that drives nintendo and not just the pursuit of higher numbers

The technical specifications of the console shouldn't cause any issues.
In YL's case, the game is(was) designed to be playable on the Wii U, meaning they were mindful of its hardware limitations when creating assets and stage size and BS should be in a somewhat similar situation. By extension, anything that would run on the Wii U would also run on the Switch.

that could be anything actually, it might be running an old optimization, bugs dragging the performance down, draw distance/lod set too high, etc

its a game in development, its inevitable some builds have performance issues and im glad they do because it allows the dev team to catch issues in production that a small team staring at it all the time arent likely to see, forest for the trees basically
