Nintendo rep told me Zelda runs at 900p while in dock mode, and 720p while in portable mode, looks gorgeous on potable mode.

not bad at all. glad to hear portable mode looks great

lock if old

Gleethor · Jan 13, 2017

Well, better than the Wii U version I guess.

Grim Patron · Jan 13, 2017

Gonna be playing this in portable only so that;s great.

Is the Wii U version confirmed to be locked to 720p?

Pixel density on the Switch will be amazing, no doubt. I do wonder about frame rate.

James Scott · Jan 13, 2017

Yeah, definitely looked cleaner than the Wii U version. Also runs better.
I imagine it'll look great on the small screen

That's about the best we can say about it.........totally worth US$300!!! NOT

I mean, portable mode will probably look and run better than Wii U still

Trojita · Jan 13, 2017

It's going to be asked.

What's the FPS?

sir_bumble_bee · Jan 13, 2017

If docked mode is only running this game at 900p, I can only imagine how much the Wii U version struggles

Jarmel · Jan 13, 2017

What is the Wii U version running at then? This isn't exactly enticing considering the only reason to get this version is for the graphics boost.

AmyS · Jan 13, 2017

Not what I'd hoped, but the framerate should be solid, locked 30fps.

kadotsu · Jan 13, 2017

I will look forward to the performance analysis. I hope it hits 30FPS on handheld, docked and WiiU.

GarciaHotspur · Jan 13, 2017

Lol, it begins...

I mean, it isn't exactly surprising. Xenoverse 2 seemingly runs at 720p in docked mode. I doubt we'll see much 1080p on this thing.

Hasney · Jan 13, 2017

900p? Wow, they really did make a current gen console!

Mr T. · Jan 13, 2017

Not bad, I was expecting 720p and less when portable. Game looks gorgeous and the trailer was everything fans have been asking for.

Lom1lo · Jan 13, 2017

This is bad

It looked like it was running at a more solid framerate on Switch.

900p's okay, but that would seemingly put it in Xbone territory.

Being able to play Zelda in bed and on the go is a pretty huge selling point for me.

Griss · Jan 13, 2017

It can't run a Wii u game at 1080p? Fuck me, what is the point of this thing?

I'll at Zelda on Wii u and buy switch when it gets its super quick price drop after it flops. 300 dollars for a visual upgrade that small just isn't worth it.

bachikarn · Jan 13, 2017

Seems pretty disappointing to me that it couldn't even manage 1080p in docked. I'll live though.

chrisPjelly · Jan 13, 2017

It better be stable as fuck then. Christ, as much as I want to consider getting a cheap WiiU instead of blowing away money on a tablet with paid online, the WiiU version runs like molasssesssss

Jonnax · Jan 13, 2017

Looks like I'm getting the XBox One experience after all!

You can play the Wii U version in bed too.

Xdrive05 · Jan 13, 2017

900p with quality AA (apparently) will be great. But framerate and draw distance still need to be known. Hopefully the Switch version will get demoed fairly extensively at the treehouse, so we can compare.

Framerate and pop-in have been noticeable and distracting on the Wii-U builds.

Holundrian · Jan 13, 2017

I think honestly this will mostly be just my new generation handheld.

Inuhanyou · Jan 13, 2017

Seems like that means the Wii U version might really end up subHD with bad performance. As long as the Zelda team thinks this is the right choice for their game i guess...

It's a pretty sizeable amount weaker than the Xbox One. Xenoverse 2 looks way, way worse in docked mode than on the bone

Movalpolos · Jan 13, 2017

Can't even get it to full res of displays being phased out in the next 2 years. Pathetic.

It's crazy to think a $260 PS4 basic runs Uncharted 4 single player at 1080p and looks amazing. Not to say that BotW doesn't, but you can see a lot of graphical "not quite there" hints during all those trailers

Branduil · Jan 13, 2017

How underpowered did they make the Switch if it can't even run a Wii U game at 1080p?

AppleSautts · Jan 13, 2017

Looking forward to some direct video capture to see how much better Switch is than Wii U

FrozenCell · Jan 13, 2017

that bad?

Devilgunman · Jan 13, 2017

While the other 2 consoles pushing for 4K, Nintendo is pushing for 900p.

Toparaman · Jan 13, 2017

I have to imagine the Switch screen looks dramatically better than the Wii U's blurry screen. I rarely used Off TV mode on the Wii U because the decrease in image quality was so drastic.

Not sure what the point is of comparing a portable device to two huge slabs.

Those are the kind of sacrifices you have to make to keep heat down, noise down, and enable portability with a playable battery life + thinner form factor.

DieH@rd · Jan 13, 2017

I honestly expected this from underclocked Tegra X1. :-/ As I said many times, don't expect miracles with Switch.

[but I did not expect this kind of high pricing]

Pankratous · Jan 13, 2017

900p docked?

People are going to pretend this is acceptable...

Game isn't even out, it's cross gen and it's already too powerful for the next gen console lol

Running a Wii U game in 900p is certainly not Xbone territory.

Because they obviously don't care about the portable aspect of the Switch.

It's not even remotely close to being in Xbone territory.

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.
