I remember people were clowning folks for buying the "inferior" wii u version

I'm pretty sure it would run just as smooth

 

[LordKano]

I've read the exact opposite from people that played both games.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Have there been previous cases of games where one hardware is a stable framerate but another hardware is all over the place being both higher and lower.

My understanding is prior to today people thought the Wii U tended to chug more on explosions.

 

[kami_sama]

Best if we wait for better impressions.

 

[darkwing]

is 900p a big jump from 720p?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Isn't the Wii U version 720p though with worse textures? That could explain better performance, but yeah, I'm getting the Wii U version.

 

[Bishop89]

So no switch at launch for me then.

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

Very

 

[Aeana]

Ever since the Jimmy Fallon presentation where it looked like some foliage was missing on the TV view, I have been wondering about this. We'll have to see when someone does an actual analysis. I currently have both versions ordered.

 

[Courage]

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

Unless they got a patch planned, that's not how long they have. Game has to go gold and ship at some point.

 

[hiim_haz]

NintenDaan said the opposite.

I believe no one until closer to release.

 

[Hidden One]

Wii U version confirmed

 

[Orniletter]

Sounds like made up horseshit.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

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 ? :/

Wait, what?

The games is less than 2 months away and all footage has been 30 fps.

 

[marc^o^]

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.

This.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Yikes.

 

[wild wild rice]

wat

 

[kadotsu]

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

Gold masters are usually at least 4 weeks before release.

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

A lot of people will believe this.
I don't at all.

 

[Vampirolol]

I can see this being real.

 

[Ace 8095]

I don't care about the freaking frame rate. How was the rumble?

 

[Xando]

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

It's a handheld with TVOut. Not sure what you expected

 

[always crazy bacon]

I'm going to be playing it on my Wii U anyway, lower res and framerate vs $300 is no contest.

 

[ViciousDS]

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

YUP YUP



give me a price drop baby!!!

I ain;'t forking $299 for that sucker with that launch lineup

 

[Kyne]

preorder cancelled.

Spoiler

might be serious here. will wait for more impressions.

 

[Caelus]

Don't buy this whatsoever. Switch has no framerate drops with explosions unlike Wii U, I doubt the entirety of the game is less smooth.

 

[Enduin]

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 ? :/

Ohh hey look at that one rep say 900p 30fps and spawns a meltdown thread and now another say 1080p 60fps. Why do people ever listen to show floor reps?

 

[platina]

This can't be true. This is the generational successor to the Wii U. Has to be a mistake

 

[shanafan]

I'm sure both games will play fine.

 

[Zombie James]

Fuck, it hasn't even been 12 hours since the conference ended and it already feels like the system is shaping up to be a huge disappointment. Performing worse on the system it's replacing at the same resolution is just... Ugh.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Wait for DF or NXgamer before going nuts.

 

[conpfreak]

Unless they got a patch planned, that's not how long they have. Game has to go gold and ship at some point.

A Day 1 patch is planned, iirc from the other topic mentioning file sizes.

 

[BumRush]

Do we know how powerful the Switch is yet?

 

[always crazy bacon]

I don't care about the freaking frame rate. How was the rumble?

Cold as ice.

 

[Dineren]

Worrying if true, but I'll wait for more direct comparisons before I get too concerned.

 

[Kurdel]

I'm sure both games will play fine.

Should put this quote on the box of their marquis launch title.

 

[Phamit]

I read the exact opposite from a German reporter, who played it in handheld mode. He said it was a lot smoother than the Wii U version

 

[Dylan]

I don't care about the freaking frame rate. How was the rumble?

It really pays off during the last 3rd of the game, where Link becomes an alcoholic.

How many ice cubes Link? Fuck you, that's how many.

 

[Flame Lord]

It seriously can't run a Wii U game at 1080p, and it can't run it smoothly at 900p? I kind of expected more than this.

 

[Oregano]

It seriously can't run a Wii U game at 1080p, and it can't run it smoothly at 900p? I kind of expected more than this.

I don't know about Zelda but the Treehouse are playing a Wii U game at 1080p as we speak.

 

[Zombie James]

It seriously can't run a Wii U game at 1080p, and it can't run it smoothly at 900p? I kind of expected more than this.

I can't watch the video at work so I just assumed they meant portable performance. If it's docked and it has a few dips at 900p vs 720p on the Wii U then that's different.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Cold as ice.

Cold as ice cubes

 

[Guymelef]

Ohh hey look at that one rep say 900p 30fps and spawns a meltdown thread and now another say 1080p 60fps. Why do people ever listen to show floor reps?

I remember that Activision guy saying FullHD60 for Wii U black Ops.

 

[BronzeWolf]

don't believe it. Eveything points out to 1080p60

 

[The Hermit]

not surprised

the game was built on that system

 

[witchedwiz]

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

well it's not like the battery's doing any favour either..

 

[LordKano]

don't believe it. Eveything points out to 1080p60

From what I've read of people playing the game right now, it's 900p30.
And definitely smoother than the Wii U version.

 

[HeelPower]

Ohh hey look at that one rep say 900p 30fps and spawns a meltdown thread and now another say 1080p 60fps. Why do people ever listen to show floor reps?

1080p 60 fps ?

Lol you probably need a PS4 Pro to run it 1080p60.Even then its probably doubtful.

 

[hidys]

I would want to see more evidence before I believe it but if that is true...

Yikes!

 

[valkillmore]

Cold as ice cubes

three of them. each as decipherable as the last
