Bunch of Switch related news:
* Tomorrow's Nintendo Direct will focus on both Fire Emblem Warriors and a Fire Emblem mobile game. https://www.destructoid.com/tomorrow...s-412906.phtml * Gearbox announced they currently don't have plans for a Switch version of Borderlands 3. https://www.destructoid.com/randy-pi...--412822.phtml * Five Neo-Geo games were revealed to be among the launch lineup for Switch's eShop although might separate from the Virtual Console service based on speculations. https://www.destructoid.com/these-ar...h-412653.phtml * Nintendo announced the Switch will be able to support up to 2TB for external storage devices when those get released at a later date post-launch. In terms of launch, highest that can be supported is 512GB mainly due to 1TB cards not existing at the moment. https://www.destructoid.com/the-nint...t-412429.phtml *Nintendo also announced both Miiverse and StreetPass won't be carried over to the Switch. In regards to Miiverse, Nintendo will be supporting other social media services instead and in regards to StreetPass, its mainly due to them not considering the device as an actual handheld and how the 3DS StreetPass worked. https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo...s-412091.phtml |

Absolutely mental if you are forced to buy virtual console games again. I know there is money in it for them, but once you buy a game from their library, you should own that game regardless of the console.
Having to buy it again every 3 years is ridiculous. |

The only difference between Zelda on Wii u and switch is it runs 720p on Wii U and 900p on the switch.

I'm fine if there's $1 upgrade fees because there's work to be done, especially adding online play. But there's some stupid rumor going around that yes, there will be upgrade fees if you bought it on Wii U or 3DS, if you have both it's free and if you have it on Wii only then you're SOL.

An upgrade fee is fine, as long as it's small, but buying the whole game again is totally unfair, especially considering how quickly the Wii U is done.

My point is that Zelda is supposedly the killer launch title to sell the switch and there's basically no difference between the Wii U version and the switch version. Most people can't tell the difference from 720 and 1080 (let alone 900).

I think Droford has been a huge negative nancy in this thread but to his point I am glad Zelda is on Wii U so I don't have to buy Switch right away (If at all)

The Gamecube version of Twilight Princess was seen as superior to the Wii version even though it came out a month after the Wii version. Probably because it was just a port of the gamecube game with tacked on motion controls..not to mention the fact it was mirrored just to correspond to how people would hold the wiimote.
I can't help but figure the same is true for Breath of the wild. |

The graphics were stretched on the Wii for widescreen if set to widescreen because the game wasn't made in widescreen. Think watching a 4:3 movie stretched to fit a 16:9 screen. And worse because it wasn't HD.
It was mirrored (left is right/right is left) for the Wii version because of the wiimote. Motion controls were just tacked on I mention this because it seems obvious that BOTW was a Wii U game and its just being ported to the Switch |

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII sounds like the first game to use all the features.

When asked if Wii U purchases will transfer to the Switch Reggie states "we now have the capability to tie customer purchases to their particular Nintendo account." And says more info is coming.
Still expecting an upgrade fee, but that's something at least. Doubt that will give us an MK8 upgrade fee or anything though, just because it would leave disc users out in the cold. |

I suppose the Switch is a box that people pour all their hopes and dreams into, so no surprise they expected a 3D Zelda to run at 60fps.

Is there another big game that ran at 30fps?

Most games do on console so they can push the graphics instead. It's a shame as I prefer the frame rate, but it is what it is.
Nintendo does target 60fpa most of the time, but an open world like Zelda makes that target hard. |

For those interested, the Switch version of Stardew Valley got delayed and won't be available at launch nor likely during its launch window. Being implied the developer needs more time for the port and may or may not be related to being busy fixing loading issues on the game's other platforms.

Am wondering whether I would get enough trading in my Wii U to make getting one of these worth while. Not fussed with the launch titles, but the machine itself and it's portability really appeal because I travel so much. |

I think the only reason people liked the gc version of Twilight princess more is because it was a more traditional control scheme. Motion control was in its infancy and it was just tacked onto twilight for wii. I personally liked the wii version more.

Seems like Capcoms MO right now.
I mean, an actually great Resident Evil game is getting zero marketing support bar some shitty viral video attempt. It's a numbered Resident Evil game! |
