![]() ![]() ![]() There is, however, one minor detail that's worth mentioning: texture filtering. But what about performance?Īccording to Eurogamer, it turns out that Wii U owners aren't missing anything at all there's virtually no difference between the Switch and Wii U versions of the game. It's clear that this is true in terms of visuals, graphics, and art style. Differences In Terms Of PerformanceĮiji Aonuma, the game's series producer, previously said that the Switch version would offer the same experience as the Wii U version. Icons, buttons, and some graphics differ between two versions as prescribed by the console in which the game is being played on - on-screen instructions will feature different pictures of the corresponding controls, for example. If you buy the physical version of the game for the Wii U, there must be at least 3 GB of free space on the system or an external hard drive. The Switch has a few advantages, such as rendering in 900p when docked, and higher-quality ambient sounds, but there's little else. First off, here are a few things you should know: both versions are capped to 30 fps and are identically similar content-wise. Thanks to Eurogamer's comprehensive report, you can finally land on a definitive decision. ![]() How does the game actually perform on the two consoles? More importantly, which version should you get? Is it worth getting a brand-new Switch just to play the game, or should you just stick to your trusty old Wii U? A Few Things To Keep In Mind The game, irrespective of the console it's being played on, has garnered pretty spectacular reviews across a significant crowd of publications, crowning it as the best Zelda game to date, even when it's vastly different from those past titles. That is until Nintendo announced that the game was also coming to the Switch, its more recent hybrid console. After all, there would be no Wii U without I, or indeed you – and it’s about time Nintendo starts catering to those who backed it when no one else would.It's no secret that Nintendo's previous console, the maligned Wii U, is the original platform where Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was meant to be exclusively played on. I’m assuming they sound like mine: “No more Wii U ports! No more Wii U ports!”. To all the Wii U owners who suffered through the darkest Nintendo timeline like me. Now, though, the company can afford to release Super Mario 3D All-Stars for just six months before taking it off sale, because hey, why not? The company’s back was against the wall, and superb software was needed to sell its hardware. But to me, it feels like Nintendo is choosing the easy cash grab instead of trying to match its magnificent output on Wii U. Every title that I’ve mentioned here is either available now or coming to Switch in the future, which is brilliant – if you’ve never played them of course. New releases for stalwart Wii U supporters are a few and far between. (Image credit: Nintendo)Īnd sadly, that’s how it’s been for a while now. So, not only were the biggest releases on Switch games that I had already bought, thoroughly enjoyed and often completed, I was now left with the choice to stump up full price to experience déjà vu, or have nothing to play. But sadly, with Nintendo being a notoriously tight-belted business, these re-releases were more often than not marked up at full price. ![]() Some included additional content, or previously released DLC, and some also had a “ Funky new mode” (you’ll either know what that means or you won’t). But it became clear that a worrying trend was beginning to emerge.Īnnouncement after announcement, more Wii U games were heading to Nintendo Switch. And yes, I also picked up Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because there’s no way I was missing out on schooling people anytime, anywhere. It made sense at the time, as the Wii U’s best years were very much behind it. Now, I played Breath of the Wild on Switch and not on Wii U. But unlike the Wii U, everyone got what the Nintendo Switch was all about in an instant. It helped that the Nintendo Switch launched with one of the very best Legend of Zelda games of all time in the form of Breath of the Wild. However, as soon as the machine was revealed with that seriously catchy track from White Denim “Ha Ha Ha Ha (yeah)", it was clear Nintendo had managed to bottle lightning once again. Of course, like any hardened Nintendo fan, I was ready for round two, just in case the Nintendo Switch didn’t strike a spark with consumers. ![]()
