TP HD has a camera mode with a weird acceleration. When you push the stick it accelerates slow at first and then at normal speed. This might be what's going on. It was hard to get used to in TP HD.Am I crazy, or am I seeing severe input lag for the camera?

IGN: Zelda BOTW Extended Handheld Mode Play (offscreen)

Hm?! The framerate is identical on the TV, the resolution higher..so why should be portable the best way? I dont get it.
Some reports say that the framerate is worse in tv mode.
Yes resolution is higher, but its not the native res of the screen. Eurogamer reported the game looks sharper in portable mode than in tv mode.

Hey, how about you come and have a drink at the PS Vita Pub over here, I also feel very positive at one of the best handhelds I have ever owned and sad by its reaction as many of or club members do... you are not alone

I say the Dock is a vital part of the system and provides a very convenient display option.would be interesting to know stadistics how many people use it. But for startes even on GAF there will be people refusing to take it out of the dock.
Later i see a portable only Switch but to play on the go or in your comfy chair at your big home screen with ease,thats a big choice
Isn't that just how these things work? 720p on a 6inch screen is going to look sharper than 1080p on a 50inch screen.
Controller looks tiny for those hands. They somehow managed to make the Wii U pad very comfortable, but this looks more like a big 3DS in a way rather than the Wii U pad, and 3DS fucking destroys my hands.
As long as I can play everything with a Pro controller without gimping myself it's whatever, I guess. Don't care about the handheld mode, even though the screen does look nice.

to be fair, the 3DS has a shitty weight distribution - it's very top heavy, so you'll have to grip it rather firmly.
Close your 3DS and imagine the sticks (proper sticks, not a disk!) being at the positions as they are on the switch. Surely, it'll be a tad less ergonomic as the (already not super ergonomic) Wii U Gamepad, but it's going to be miles ahead of both the 3DS or the Vita.

Any word on music playing throughout the game in BOTW? Feels really weird going through the great Plateau in silence.

No, it sounds like that if you record audio from a headphonejack and the source volume is too low.
Turn on your speakers to a high volume without any audio playing and you will here the same noise.

Frame-rate looks super smooth, definitely a system seller if the game holds up.

I tried the game yesterday and the framerate is definitelly not identical and having a bigger resolution doesnt close the graphical gap from going to a phone/tablet screen size to a TV 5X" screen.
Concerning the framerate, on TV you can see the framerate drop when the game loads a new part of the area you're playing in, which doesn't happen at all on portable mode.
This can all very well be just a thing with the demo build, might be fixed in a month and a half.
How fast is it running docked? I have to say if they only managed to bump this to 900p (it's a WiiU game after all) while still running at 30fps it's extremely underwhelming. Might be a great game, but visually I couldn't be less impressed. No-one has to defend it and I'm not trying to start something, but for that price docked mode is underpowered. Clearly. Might be worth it for the handheld experience though.
Running the game docked, at best, runs like in portable mode, 30 fps with no input lag. And yes the games graphical limitations pop out way more in a huge tv screen, unsurprisingly. I also think is not the best game to display the docked mode since the open world nature of the game takes a bigger strain on the hardware.
Conversely, MK8 runs like a dream on the big screen and its performance is a carbon copy of its handheld mode.

Hopefully that stuff gets fixed. But I'd still rather play on my big screen. Aging eyes and some neck issues that make it hard to get comfortable playing a portable for long sessions.
That probably comes down to higher ppi and native resolution.
Jesus, I certainly hope so.
I was thinking about going to GS this morning to preorder. I mean, I am regardless, just don't want to feel any regret.
You'll be good out of the box.
And if you have any other devices that use USB C, those chargers should be compatible with Switch as well, is my understanding.

I would have preferred a $250 price point, but $299 is not going to stop me from playing Zelda at my desk at work while on break. The fact that we are also getting a hopefully true sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles and I am completely sold.

Honestly that looks and runs fantastically. I am REALLY looking forward to this.

I really don't think it's the fan.
The audio is getting piped directly from the 3.5mm out into the camera they are recording with (which is why the audio is so good), and I would imagine the buzzing is interference.
The game really does look absolutely stunning. Have they shown off any other areas and enemies yet?

I wonder how much of a difference it'd be if they weren't forced to be that close to the huge TV.

What a looker. Amazing.
Anyone able to offer WiiU level power comparisons for the Switch in Handheld and Docked mode?
e.g.
Docked: 3x WiiU
Undocked: 1.5 WiiU

Holy shit, that looks great.
Looking forward to playing this on the train to class every day. Then in between classes. Then during class. Then dropping out of college to play this under a bridge.

The world looks pretty dead, but I like the art style. I want to believe.
That's exactly what it is.

Since I'm usually far more concerned with frame rate than resolution or even iq, this makes me wonder if I'll even want to play this game on a monitor...
I severely doubt that even the doomsayers would deny that this is shaping up to be an amazing handheld. I find it really stupid that Nintendo (of America) seemed so focussed on describing this as Nintendo's new home console. That is clearly the weakest part of the system. Well, at least if we pretend that Nintendo does manage to get a rough understanding of the internet when the online system will be put in place.

Can't wait to snuggle into bed with a bunch of blankets and play some Breath of the Wild. As a handheld this looks fantastic.
Not sure how legitimate this is but someone here (I think in the thread a out baptism feedback for the screen) said that touchscreen functionality was disabled on the demo units at the event. Seems weird that they'd go through the trouble for that. Either they didn't want people trashing up the pretty screen, or maybe they were hiding a feature they haven't revealed yet?

Liked the animation. Especially when he jumped and got hit by the club. Nice.
