Do we even know the differences between the two versions?
Wasn't the GameCube version of Twilight Princess superior?

So far, 720p on Wii U - 900p on Switch when docked for TV and 720p in portable / handheld mode.

TP on GameCube allowed you more freedom with the camera system, but the Wii version's framerate was a more consistent 30fps.

WiiU will massively drop in price, has Pokken, Splatoon, Fatal Frame V (which will likely never get ported to Switch), Breath of the Wild and free online.
So I definitely will be getting a cheap, likely used WiiU and play BotW on it. I can deal with playing it at 720p rather than 900p (hilarious that it's not even going to be 1080p docked). Looking at the development circles of main Zelda games, it might well turn out to be the only mainline game that is releasing on the Switch so I'm not really missing out I think.

Despite a shaky presentation I plan on getting Switch year one (between Zelda, Splatoon 2 and Mario in 2017) I will be getting it on the Switch.
Uh... i don't have faith that the Switch version will, either. That trailer looked like 20 fps.
I'm buying Zelda Wii U. I already have a Wii U and I've been waiting three years to play this damn game and I'm sure as hell not spending another $300 on a system with a thin 2017 release calendar.
Only as far as there was no waggle. They had mirrored dungeons. That was it.
Based on the Switch games we saw today, I don't expect BotW to perform much better on Switch at all.

Will buy WiiU version because $60 is cheaper than $360.

I'll buy a Switch day one, but I'm wondering which version of the game to get. Do we know how the gamepad will be used?
Really, I just like having the map there. Changing items without stopping the game is a plus too.

My pre-order was done quite a while ago. If they decide to release the game, I will buy.
Gonna downsample or are you on a 5k monitor?

see i was worried this'd be like TP again (where the GC version was clearly superior) but hearing that it doesn't seem to use tablet controls much, switch all the way for me - it's pretty much this + bomberman at launch

I will get it on the Wii U. I bought the Wii U for this game. Didn't think at that time they would delay it for next-gen. Nothing at the moment suggests getting Switch at launch sadly, maybe competitive pricing in the future.
I don't understand why people think it's going to be much better on Switch. What we saw today looked like a bunch of 720p Wii U games.
That's where I'm at as well.
You need to dump the game with a Wii U first to be able to play it on a emulator.

Anyone who has a Wii U and isn't (or can not?) getting a switch at launch is a potential answer here. Add in collectors too because the Wii U version won't exactly be getting a massive print run.
So yes I will get it. I know it is a bigger technical gap than Twilight Princess was (both Gamecube and Wii versions ran at 640x480 but the latter could be 16:9) but I've played wait and see when it comes to systems for well over a decade now (Gamecube was my last launch title) and the switch presentation has not changed my mind rather entrenched me.

Downsample to 2560x1440.
Meh don't know. I planning to not get the Switch till probably closer to the holidays at the earliest, but I would likely get through the game the most via portable with the switch, since I feel like I been drifting away from console playtime to portable/PC mostly, and thus might sell my WiiU also.
great -.- so looks like I have to buy a switch since I dont own a wii u anymore..

If it doesn't run like dogshit, then I probably will. $60 is a hell of a lot more attractive than $370, and frees up the other $310 for games that I want to buy this year.

Me, just as a curio. Same reason I got twilight princess on gc.
Today convinced me that I will have to hold on to my Wii U.
I have Smash and MK8 with a TON of controllers I can use for both. Won't be so with Switch.
Plus Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 1 and 2, SM3DW, NSMBU, a bunch if stuff on vWii side.... VC stuff galore that I'm not buying again.
Sigh.
Nintendo did absolutely nothing to divert money from the upcoming PS4 games I want.

One thing for sure, I won't pre-order the WiiU version. Really need to see how bad it run/look.

If I can't get a Switch at launch I will
Can you dump eShop games too or is it only physical discs? Have a handful of digital games that I'd love to play.
Nice. What type of GPU do you have? Wondering how high I could push my 1080.

Will wait for analysis on frame rates etc.
But will probably buy on Wii U, since the Switch is around 100 too expensive for what it delivers at the moment.

Also what I would like to know, does the WiiU version make use of the extra screen on the gamepad? If yes then that's another thing to consider compared to the Switch version.

I'm not planning to buy a switch at the launch rrp and I'm not waiting for Zelda. So Wii u it is.
It's worth it for the right price:
Smash 4
MK8
Pikmin 3
Zelda WindWaker
DKC Tropical Freeze
Captain Toad
Bayonetta1 and 2
Freedom Planet
Affordable Space Adventures
Hyrule Warriors
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
NSMBU
SM3DW
Mario Maker
Splatoon
Pokken Tournament
Zelds BotW
GBA and DS VC
And more...
Yeah, it's a good library.
I went from "finger hovering over F5 on amazon" to "picardfacepalm.jpg"
Nope, AFAIK, it doesn't, other than the map. But someone should correct me if that isn't true. I thought that Nintendo decided to remove any elements that really made use of the GamePad.
