So this was a bit of a shock to me. I have a Wii U and presumed that Zelda would be substantially better on Switch. But impressions from gamespot mention the game seeming smoother on the Wii U version which is quite shocking.

Mihael Mello Keehl · Jan 13, 2017

Welp,

Waiting on DF tho

LewieP · Jan 13, 2017

Regardless, I'm getting it for Wii U, but yeah that's a bit of a worry.

Possumowner · Jan 13, 2017

Didn't expect that 😱 What's going on here

Justice_Bolt · Jan 13, 2017

This console is looking worse and worse...

Soodanim · Jan 13, 2017

Given the Switch's price reveals, this pleases me if true.

GlamFM · Jan 13, 2017

I´ll wait for what DF has to say in 2 months.

mrmickfran · Jan 13, 2017

lmao that would be hilarious

I'm not getting a Switch at launch anymore, but Zelda was the one game that I wanted.

This'll be good for me

giancarlo123x · Jan 13, 2017

Lmfao nintendo please! I guess I'll get it on my smash machine U.

Guevara · Jan 13, 2017

Well that's fun.

Framerate or resolution. Pick your poison, I guess.

Griss · Jan 13, 2017

So no switch at launch for me then.

This is at 900p, too. Just how bloody weak is this thing?

lukeskymac · Jan 13, 2017

Well on portable mode the Switch is specced similarly to a Wii U, so it's not too surprising.

Cost of the portable switch design

Kacho · Jan 13, 2017

7 weeks to address that. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Roi · Jan 13, 2017

As he remembers it from the E3, that was more then 6 months ago...

even if the switch is more powerful, it'll have been developed and probably optimised to the wiiU, and maybe the port isn't great?

Maybe the switch isn't very powerful?

Maybe they'll patch it post-release (that's a big worry - the 32GB being eaten up with patches)

Doug Heffernan · Jan 13, 2017

Yikes... that's no bueno.

Coffinhal · Jan 13, 2017

Some gafers who played the game stayed it runs smoothly and it wasn't threadworthy

SolidSnakex · Jan 13, 2017

This simply can't be true. I know Richard from DF said that they were going to the event, so hopefully we'll get their analysis soon.

AdanVC · Jan 13, 2017

What!? It actually ran better on Wii U than on Switch? I don't believe it... :'/

Wagram · Jan 13, 2017

If Zelda ends up running better on Wii U this console is going to be in a very dire position for awhile.

JaseMath · Jan 13, 2017

If this is true, I'll probably cancel my pre-order.

They both said there was a lot of texture pop-in, too. C'mon Nintendo...

Neoleo2143 · Jan 13, 2017

I want an actual comparison and not feelings.

Gotdatmoney · Jan 13, 2017

I'll have to see DF before I believe. This game runs like shit on the WiiU so . . .

ElectricBlanketFire · Jan 13, 2017

Ummm I'll need some actual verification here. That can't be right unless he's talking about handheld mode.

Alienous · Jan 13, 2017

We'll have to see how the non-E3 Wii U version looks, because it did look pretty rough at th Game Awards. It could be a performance decrease across the board, on both systems, due to the larger scope of the game when compared to the demo.

Vaa · Jan 13, 2017

Eurogamer said it will be 1080p60fps in dock mode and 720p60fps in handheld mode in the final version > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4liEfuFvIqE

Who to believe ? :/

Pappasman · Jan 13, 2017

In all of the wii u version footage the framerate had problems. In all of the switch version footage the framerate has been solid.

I really doubt this.

It's at 1080p. Just "announced" on the livestream. 720p in handheld, ofc.

Dylan · Jan 13, 2017

He was comparing the Wii U version from E3 to the Switch version yesterday.

Skel1ingt0n · Jan 13, 2017

30 page thread incoming... lmfao

Waveset · Jan 13, 2017

I'll wait for final builds to se how they stack up against each other.

Jawbreaker · Jan 13, 2017

Wow, was not expecting that. :lol

Booker.DeWitt · Jan 13, 2017

Should I cancel my preorder? holly smokes

NolbertoS · Jan 13, 2017

Well the game was built from the ground up for the Wii U. I was expecting a less quality port on Switch TBH as it was rushed for the Switch launch and I bet Nintendo will release a patch for it. Its not the end of the world.

abstract alien · Jan 13, 2017

Haven't other reports said the exact opposite?

hohoXD123 · Jan 13, 2017

Oh dear, you'd have to be one diehard nintendo fan to get the Switch just for Zelda now. At least wait for DF

TheMagicMax · Jan 13, 2017

I don't believe that before i see it.

Sectorseven · Jan 13, 2017

It's probably done and in mass production.

Unless there's a day one patch for that 32gb of internal storage.

Are you fucking KIDDING me

Interfectum · Jan 13, 2017

Oregano · Jan 13, 2017

Mario Kart has been bumped to 1080p so I find this hard to believe.

gate stormer · Jan 13, 2017

Overreactions...more news at 11.

DecoReturns · Jan 13, 2017

We should probably wait until more people mention this.

seantos · Jan 13, 2017

This news is just too perfect lol. I feel better about my old wii u version preorder more and more. I really wonder how easy it is to port from power pc to the arm architecture. I imagine porting an x86 game from ps4/xbox/pc is probably easier.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
