That's pretty much was I was getting at, yeah. That some of the more exaggerated views of its "weakness" don't tally with what we see in Hyrule Warriors. (Though as with you, it's about what I'd expect from it)

You got it all wrong. No one is complaining about the weak CPU. It's the weak as fuck GPU everyone is on about.

Actually the GPU is one of Wii U's strong points, the CPU is its weakest link, just like with PS4 and Xbone.

You are right, except that in none of any PS4/X1 games is the CPU the limiting factor. It's always the GPU. Or we wouldn't be constantly talking about resolutions, which have almost nothing to do with CPU power. And even on Wii U, Hyrule Warriors should be the only game that has framedrops because of its CPU.

Please educate yourself about what a CPU and GPU actually do.
