No way the game should have a higher score on Switch. Adding Funky Kong should remove at least 10 points from your score.
When it chugs. In most cases, it was 540p throughout the game, which is pretty serviceable. I'm always a portable player though so you won't see me complaining about graphics ever even with the 240p 3D DS games.
Yes, though people have been doing that since DS/3DS days.
They didnt call it the Pii U for nothin'
I've reviewed many games on both wii u and switch, and I have nevere done this. You just have a hate boner for reviewers and think getting a game to review for free is some spoiled brat shit when in reality it means nothing more to the reviewer than "okay, so this is my job the coming week".Go watch or read a review for almost any game on the Wii U. The reviewer or people in the comments will remark on how people should ditch the gamepad in favor of playing the game with a classic controller.
Enter, the Switch:
People love that it's completely portable and most people (based on reviews/comments) prefer to play in handheld mode. I won't even get into the drift issue.
Does anyone else see the irony? Maybe people are buying pro controller shaped joy cons? I don't even know if such a thing exists.
I guess my point is that in hindsight, it's pretty obvious that the Wii U was being dog piled from the get go and to know that people are being sent free games, and being paid to just shit on something, while then lauding the same thing cause it's a new console just comes off as incredibly disingenuous.

Probably because they saw the Wii U as a poorly marketed gimmick (which it was) as opposed to the Switch which is undisputedly genius for what it is.Go watch or read a review for almost any game on the Wii U.

Playing the Switch in handheld mode is identical to playing a game on the Wii U gamepad, whether it's on the TV or being displayed on the gamepad itself. You're essentially holding the same piece of equipment. Going off the logic for some reviewers, if the gamepad wasn't a good way to play Wii U games, then the Switch should only be played in docked mode with a pro controller. I rarely hear that. I often hear what a joy it is to play the Switch in handheld mode.
That’s not irony or hypocrisy. What do you want reviewers to say? “It’s more comfortable to play with the pro controller, but if you want to play it in handheld mode you need to use the Joycons”? In every game review? Why would they even comment on that?
I'm not talking about what extra features that might have been added to the gamepad. I'm talking about just simply holding the gamepad and playing a game with it and how some people felt like it was substandard, but for the Switch it's completely fine. It's literally the same thing to play with the Wii U gamepad or play the Switch in handheld mode.
I'm referring to the size, ergonomics, and button layout of the Wii U gamepad compared to the Switch in handheld mode. I'm not commenting on extra features that the Wii U had, or the limited range/portability, etc. Just simply holding the gamepad and using it to play a game is what I'm talking about.
WiiU’s gamepad couldnt be used after away from the console, used a 480p screen, hardly held a charge. If the switch couldnt be used away from the couch why would anyone pick 720p from 1080p? Let alone 480p from 1080p.
That's what I have been doing since the console launched. Better system than the Switch in every single aspect.

I'm confused at the point of this thread. You want to know why people chose the handheld Switch vs the Wii U tablet controller. But the reason people chose Switch is because it is in itself a portable console not just because it can be played handheld away from the TV. The Wii U even in handheld mode is still tied to a TV you are stuck within a set range. The Switch is not, you can go anywhere. The Switch may not be more comfortable to play but that is most definitely not the reason people are preferring it over the Wii U. Then to add to that you did mention that most people would recommend using a Pro controller when playing the Wii U. As you can see in this thread most people do not like the Wii U tablet. Either it's too big, too heavy, or most people can't stand the look of it. The switch isn't exactly better in any of those categories except for maybe looks arguably, but if you are wondering why people prefer the Switch to Wii U and only talking about the Tablet vs Handheld Switch I believe you got your answer right here in this thread. Not many people liked the tablet. To add one more thing the tablet controller for a lot of games served an entirely different purpose to the Switch's handheld mode. The tablet was designed to be a second screen not a main one.
Switch is like 25% less weight iirc.
Yeah, Wii U tablet is 1.08125 lbs. Where as the Switch with Joy-cons attached is .88 lbs. So there's another reason to Switch over the Wii U tablet. But my point still stands. Why try to make a comparison on why someone would choose an entirely portable console with similar controller options when playing on a TV, to a strictly TV bound console.
