Its not a glorified ds yes its glorious but its just the wayyyyy better version of the ps vita yes da ting your playing on right meow sweet but it has OVERCOOKED AND ANIMAL CROSSING NEW HORIZONS boom ha ha how ya like dat boom rosted
Sweet is STILL using the PS Vita? Wow. But In my opinion, the Nintendo Switch is WAAAAAAY better then a DS, but the doesnt change the fact that its a fun device!
As someone who acquired a switch at release day not-of-my-own-voalition (my significant other went for the hype and insisted on camping out and me being there as support despite my multiple requests to “wait a couple months till the hype dies down), I can honestly say the switch is actually under-hyped.
From all the commercials, I just kept thinking, “That looks like such a hassle constantly taking it apart and putting it together and it looks so breakable” etc. It’s much sturdier than I expected, you can game split-controllered (haven’t been able to do that since the wii, and I greatly enjoy not being forced into a fetal position for gaming), the switching is actually less obnoxious than going back and forth between console and 3DS (I can do the same game for both, which you have *no* idea how much of a relief that is until you start doing it. Like seriously, I don’t have to interrupt my game if I’m heading out. It’s a “Hey, we’re heading out!” – *click* “okay” – *gaming continues*. The list goes on and on. And when I get tired of staring at a little screen, I plop it in and get big screen. I don’t even notice the battery life because I’m using the TV when at home.
Seriously, all of the real strengths of the switch are things almost impossible to really get across in a commercial, making this system seriously underhyped despite their efforts. I will likely never get a Microsoft of Sony console ever again.
It is. Always was planned to be. When they officially announced the title for Breath of the Wild, they said it would be a Wii U and (as it was known at the time) NX release.
It’s kind of a shame, actually. It was supposed to have touchpad support just like Wind Waker HD, but after they decided the NX/Switch would be a single screen only, they dummied out the code so the WiiU version would be identical. Their justification: “it broke immersion to look between both screens.” Wow Nintendo, you played yourself.
The Switch version runs at a very slightly higher resolution (900p vs 720p). Aside from that, they both run 30fps and they both have similar amounts of lag under similar conditions, and gameplay is identical.
Wii version reverts graphics to sprites at a further enough distance, Switch doesn’t. Makes distant scenery much prettier on the switch. Also, switch has a touchscreen.

So many people like to forget BotW is out on Wii U too.
I’m one of the proud who will play it there…well maybe not so proud. Wii U ended with a sour tasted: no exclusive Zelda game, no Metroid, less 3rd party support ever.
I’ll wait a while for the Switch
As an owner of BotW on both Wii U and the Switch, you want to play it on the Switch if you can. The Wii U version is AMAZING, but it runs much better on the Switch and the new Joycons are just wonderful to use.
2 things 1 it’s going to be on the ds I didn’t know anything about that and 2 the switch has more potential than the Wii U I mean I know the could have been better but check out a youtube named Arlo he’ll explain why.
It is really, REALLY bothering me how people keep referring to breath of the wild as a switch game, not a wiiu game that’s also getting a port on switch. It does the switch a major disservice since it’s not an example of its true graphical power… which remains totally unknown and is kind of the make-or-break given that history has shown that while true gamers don’t care about graphics, they also have no money
as for that glorified DS comment though, I need to have words with that glorified Garfield.
Eh, I figure it’ll be similar to Twilight Princess. Sure, that was also on GameCube, but in my opinion it was more fun on the Wii (due to motion controls), whether or not people were upset about the world-mirroring.
Yeah, well, *technically* Twilight Princess was a “GameCube game that also got a port on the Wii,” and yet people (including myself) still frequently preferred the Wii version. The world-mirroring wasn’t that upsetting to me, and the motion controls made the game more fun. I figure this will be similar.
Glorified DS? It’s got the same power as a home console in the size of a tablet, literally how is it a DS? NTM there’s absolutely no reason to choose the Wii U version over the Switch version; they’re relatively the same, except the Switch version runs at a slightly higher resolution and framerate, ntm YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU. The Wii U version doesn’t even use the gamepad screen…
To be fair, it’s a lot better on the switch. OoT was great, but it’s framerate sucked. Do you want that experience again when there’s a solid 30fps port already?
Commence an entire comic dedicated to the “Wake up Link” bit of the trailer and it’s Glitch waking Gamercat up to tell him that his copy won’t be coming for another 3 days.
(@ author, feel free to use the idea if you want, no need to credit me.)
Shut up and take my money nintendo…. oh wait they already did. had to hit up about half a dozen places but found a switch and got breath of the wild. its perfectly justifyable for me. my wii u spends most of the day as a youtube machine for my nephew so having the switch means he gets his cartoons and i get to play zelda during the day.
I have a switch and I believe that sweet is absolutely wrong. The switch is the greatest console of all time! Also, can you make gamer cat play Mario kart? It’s sad to see that such a good game has not been featured.
The reason they invented the Nintendo Switch was because the Wii U was a complete failure. Its basically a better Wii U they you can move around. Its also sorta a glorififed DS, but whatever. We can ALL agree the switch is way better.

These two are acting out my conscious when I was in turmoil over getting BoTW on the Wii-U or the Switch. (o_o)

I’m just getting it on WiiU… there will be a far superior version when it’s remade around 2020-2025 if you want a REAL performance update.

The Switch is… actually a pretty solid system in a number of ways, and has some nifty tricks going on? But yeah, BotW is available for WiiU.
