The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild runs at 900p (docked) and 720p (handheld)

sure okay but this is the reality of the system. are we gonna have to endure endless technical threads of people gasping at 720p?
It's Xbone quality... rejoice
Very underpowered.
Good One!! Hehe
Because they expect a Nintendo console that is more powerful than a PS4 Pro and costs $99 and has 59 hour battery.
Wait, this has AA?

A Wii U game at 900p is XB1 quality now?

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Yeah, I'd be surprised. They did not have any AA for Mario.

was it too much to expect this game to be 1080p native considering the wii u version is 720p? Isn't that an expected console generational leap?
Another one:
Should add one thing about this: he also said: "the console can do 1080p without a problem while in dock mode".

Not confirmed until DF get their hands on it. Try to judge from a video, guesswork.

720p in handheld mode, as predicted. I'm ok with this.
Also, here's some wallpaper material to spice things up.

wonder if he means just regular upscaling
Consider a second job.
THey didn't make it underpowered. Its the most powerful handheld ever created.
But the answer to what your really asking, the Switch's docked mode(maximum performance) is less than 40% of XB1.

Do we doubt the previous information about the difference in docked/undocked speeds? Because more than double GPU speed for ~56% more pixels seems odd?

hardware considered, it's more than acceptable. i'd prefer 900p to 720p
r&d, marketing, lots of crap inside the box, etc. i do think its way too high for what it is tho

Well yes...
It's just natural that people will compare the technical aspects of games to the cheaper and more powerful home consoles.
Nintendo is betting on a feature with a questionable sized target group to justify a premium price tag.
I was hoping 720 undocked 1080p docked
No matter what, it was always going to be the best option. Some don't have the PC to do it, though.

Terribly disappointing hardware that can't even run a last-gen game at 1080p. But it is what it is, and I must play it.

Not as bad as it could be, not as good as you'd wish it would be.

Since when are 900p Wii U games Xbox quality?
Damn this is just disappointing. Meh battery life, struggling hard with ports, and 300 bucks?
I'd prefer 1080p to 900p.

Xbox One runs games at 900p too. Isn't that how it works? /s

Did the PS3 teach you discipline?
Ofcourse. So can the 360/PS3/WiiU. All depends on the software that's running.
Why?

yes, we all would, but we're obviously not getting that with an underclocked mobile GPU
? why would it be, he's clearly referring to the system in general and it's ability to display 1080p content whilst docked

I'm seriously considering canceling my Switch preorder and just buying Zelda for Wii U. My gaming PC with 5820K and GTX 1080 can probably push out 4K resolution better than the Switch can handle 900p, even with the bugs and glitches in Cemu.

Same.
At least I'm happy I didn't buy the Wii U for nothing (before the Switch presentation, I was strongly considering getting it with the Switch even though I mainly bought the Wii U for it).
It just can't do a game like BotW?
I wonder how good 900p looks on a 4K screen? Really wish they'd guarantee a nice multiple like 1080p.

Enjoy playing in 2.5 to 3 hour bursts before needing to fully recharge, I guess. Zelda is a game franchise I prefer to get lost in without having to worry about whether or not my battery is going to die in an hour or so, but that's just me. Something tells me you may be planning this now but when the game is actually in your hands you'll only be playing it docked.
Is the max resolution on your TV 900p?
