Looks like someone went a little happy with that Unreal 4 open world demo 
fabricated backlash

I was just about to post the same. Absolutely disgusting, but sadly par for the course for GAF.
On the other hand I kind of doubt that the Switch is powerful enough to power these visuals myself... so I can see that aspect at least.

Looks neat. I'm interested.
Any idea if this is supposed to be a 2017 release?

Read: This game doesn't look quite ugly enough for me to accept that it might be real.
It does seem that it's likely to be letterboxed sub-HD. I expect a lot of third-party games on Switch to actually be sub-HD, honestly, ports will likely at least stretch one axis. 1024x720 or 960x720 is what we'll likely see from quite a few third-party Switch games. Still, this looks pretty and shows what UE4 can do on mobile hardware.

I was 100% clowning around.
seems interesting but we have been sold these kind of stories before with new platforms. Obscure "leaked" game from unknown developer who may or may not have dev kits. I guess its a good way to get noticed when people are desperate for info and your the only game out there because official devs cant say shit till Nintendo tells them...
Yeah, I really don't believe in it at all. Not because this would be too beautiful for the Switch, but because the guy behind does not seems very professional or trustworthy, and because Gameblog is clearly not professional or trustworthy.
At the very best, this is a PC tech demo shown now to get some hype going on and finance a kickstarter for a Switch development. Which would most likely be cancelled after.
This was originally leaked by Laura this morning. The Gameblog link came later. She seems to have faith in what they're doing, so I think we should at least give them the benefit of the doubt.
See, this is what folks should expect ....3rd party exclusives. If they do good with those the Switch should be fine.
And this looks like something I would like. Starting to remind me how some of my fav Wii games were 3rd party exclusives.
Nintendo, you have a shot to get back in the game.

There's no NDA on Switch announcements. It seems like footage and screens might not allowed, but beyond that it seems that Nintendo has done nothing more than suggest saving things for January. Even then, Nintendo said no Switch until January 12th and look what happened last night.

The First Guardian
Stardew Valley also announced that it was coming to Switch, this isn't even the first indie title announced coming to Switch.
Still, the premise from what I've read seems very self aware what we're doing to Earth. I hope if they're attempting to make us be more conscious of the destruction of the natural world, it doesn't come off as pandering. They have a good storyline and if they want to make people reflect on their lives they better have some damn good writers and a psychologist in the dev room.

Heh, just a video with the game running should be enough. That's more than what Sadness got. Heh, heh.

Nice trollpost.
Although I'm speculating 0.7TF for the Switch - see Switch hardware thread.
And this game doesn't look impressive for the spculated power range.

I really think the best approach here is to take it cautiously.
We better get a confirmation before jump into any conclusion.
There have been a lot of indie titles announced for Switch, even some none indie titles, like Sonic, DQ and Lego City

I meant new as in new, previously unannounced for any console, titles. This would be the first of that, right?
As far as indie games, some idk if they are announced for other consoles yet.

Clearly running on pc hardware.
Literally bleeding out from all the edginess of this post. Which is bad because I could get an infection from the shit in this post.

This is possible at 720p 30fps lots of render space available for visualsNice bullshots
Wow. color me interested, those screenshots (please don't be bullshots) look amazing and the fact that we would be able to play that beauty on the go makes me even more excited! Also, French Bulldogs are one of my fave types of dog breeds so I'm even more interested now :')
Hope the lil doggo doesn't die during the adventure or I will riot!!

The idea behind this game sounds interesting. I also like untouched nature / forest settings very much. I do not remember having seen any screenshots with such detailed visuals prior to a Nintendo console launch.
The timing is a little strange though. No one else has shown ingame screens from an exclusive Switch title yet. Are they going all in with what they have on their own? Does Nintendo trust "their" Indies so much nowadays? Interesting if true. It would even be sensational, because this might be the first glimpse of hardware capabilities that lay way above WiiU levels. Let's say, the screens are highly representative: the visuals destroy everything we have seen from Nintendo's 1st and 3rd parties in terms of lush environmental graphics. Density of grass, foliage, lighting, this looks like a big step up from the WiiU and would introduce a new era.
I know, we have not seen anything running on Switch by now! Despite this fact, I still can't get the idea entirely out of my head, that the footage shown in the concept trailer of the Switch (although NOT running on the HW, and not meant to distract from the concept, I know!) was chosen for a reason.
OK, not entirely true, today we saw a game running on Switch. Zelda, which is a very important title, was shown running on the hardware and it seemed to run smoothly. Sure, we must not forget, this is a cross gen title and long in development. I would not expect them to have the assets redone and make the WiiU version look super old in comparison. Yet, if it is not wanted or if it is not possible, this has to be proven in the not so distant future.
Nevertheless, and this is my point, the screens of Seasons of Heaven make Zelda look very outdated. Nintendo showing a sensationally surprising gameplay scene at Jimmy Fallon and only a few hours later, a (controlled?) leak for an exclusive Switch title emerges, which first screens are dwarfing Zelda's visuals at least in my opinion. This is indeed a strange timing. No idea if Nintendo cares about it or not. As I said, very interesting if they let a comparably small Indie team decide to show the way the visuals could go at this point.
Come what may, I keep my fingers crossed that this will be a stunning game and not another disappointing example of vaporware or meaningless "Bird Demo". Maybe it even marks a new chapter of how Nintendo cooperates and talks with Indie- and 3rd party devs.

From what I'm reading on the article, next week there will be a 46 seconds video showing the game.

Looks better than Zelda
Troll post? Even low ball predictions have it well above Wii U in power. Like way higher.
Since the announcement of Dragon Quest XI, we know that it will be more powerful than the Wii U.
Not a chance it would run on Wii U

There are still enough people who say that Square will port the 3DS version to the switch...
Not a troll post no, i know most people refuse to debate that possibility but they always tend to avoid the battery life problem. Well it seems it's safe to say it's more powerful now, and that's nice!
