DEFINITIVE CINEMATIC VERSION FOR MAXIMUM NOSTALGIA
To be fair the way items work in BotW is completely different from previous games.
But yeah they obviously didn't put a map or anything on the gamepad because they want the Switch version to be the best in every way.
Yeah I can see that too. I feel like there is a mini "console war" among Nintendo fans when it comes to this game.
The thing that disturbs me the most is Nintendo restructured the whole game to NOT use the gamepad. Is pretty clear that this Zelda was meant to be played with the inventory on the gamepad, but they remove it to be only useful for off TV play. For Nintendo it seems only the Switch version matters and the Wii U one shouldn't be better on any point.
Yes and no. I see the (valid and unfair from a consumer perspective) point about the Wii U version not having anything over the switch, but if these videos are to be believed - it might be because the Wii U needed any and all hardware resources dedicated to the game to get to the level its even at now.
All the sudden Wii U is a savior, after a long 4 years of getting shit on smh
Is there other Wii U footage besides that 15 minute video?
Strong aliasing
Take a look to the stream I linked. But is dangerous if you are spoiler sensitive.
The game was originally developed showing a map on the gamepad. Look the video above.
Does this mean it's better in the Switch version?
I didn't say it wasn't/didn't believe it wasn't. That video looks a bit choppy at times, too. I guess I'd like to think Nintendo didn't do this for spite, but I do agree it's BS nonetheless.
Switch is bad framerate related and it gets better after, but in the plateau it's nowhere near what the Wii U version is
Are you saying the game is better performance wise on the Wii U?
It's not spite. It's business.
Here, still live. Spoiler just in case.
Well... Imagine if you had bought a PS3 for Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian.the way nintendo does business feels like a slap in the face though. i bought the wiiu on day 1 for zelda, only to end up with an inferior version with removed gamepad support.

There's also one going on between PS4 and PS4 Pro owners and there will be one going on between Xbox One and Scorpio owners this Winter too. I'm sure PC gamers find it amusing lol.

Nvidia flops are not AMD flops.
No one argued the docked part so your post is irrelevant.Yup, Switch docked is also 393gflops. When the more modern GPU, much faster CPU and 3x RAM with double bandwidth is added in Switch when docked is probably close to 4x Wii U in real world performance (Fast Racing goes from Dynamic 720p/30fps to Dynamic 1080p/60fps with better visuals in 4 player mode on Switch and that's a launch game with a tiny budget).
Sure.

Zelda wasn't even announced when the Wii U launched. Not seeing how Nintendo's done you wrong here...
Nvidia and AMD have different architectures resulting in the case of Nvidia flops counting more than AMD for performance. Look at their GPUs and it's obvious. 480 has like almost 6tf but is comparable with the 4.something that the 1060 does rather than the 6.4tf 1070.
What is tedious about it, without being too spoilery?The Wii U version is running better than I was expecting, actually. BotW might as well be the swan song for my ol' Wii U.
The quest the poor guy is currently suffering through looks horrifically tedious, Nintendo, what the fuck.

Sure but some people is easy they didnt care for the wii u, shit on it, didnt buy it and all the sudden buying a wii u version...Well, you know, theres a couple of million buyers that want to play the Zelda game that has been teased since 2013.
It's a technical feat it even runs on Wii U.
i was completely wrong in believing that nintendo can deliver a library at least on par with the gamecube.Well yes, it is certainly a slap in the face for fans who actually believe in buying consoles before the things they want are released.
WTF? It was announced exclusively for Wii U and developed for Wii U for yeaaaaaars.
Insane damage control. It's okay to admit your favorite gaming company fucked up.

Fucked up by making a game too ambitious for the hardware, sure.WTF? It was announced exclusively for Wii U and developed for Wii U for yeaaaaaars.

It happens to the best of them.
See Perfect Dark.
The Wii U has an incredible library, and to be fair you technically can play Breath of the Wild on it as well. And in all fairness, the Switch version looks like a technical disaster as well. While perhaps not quite as bad as the Wii U version, Switch BoTW is still incredibly aliased, low res, has poor texture filtering, and dips far too frequently for a game that doesn't look amazing. I'm more excited for my Switch and BoTW than I have been for anything media related in the past decade, but on a technical level it looks terrible.
The fact BotW runs on Wii U at all is a miracle. The fact it looks very similar to the Switch version is just as amazing.
Switch is several times more powerful than Wii U. The fact it runs smoother on Switch isn't a surprise.

How is this "business"?
Speaking of corporate apologism, it is now your fault if you buy a console to play a game on it.

It is, you should never buy on promises unless you can handle dissapointments.Speaking of corporate apologism, it is now your fault if you buy a console to play a game on it.
