ChocNitty posted:The Wii U looked like the original Wii, and had almost the same name. Shoppers assumed it was just an updated Wii and passed on it. Informed gamers didnt buy it because it didnt have a killer app. Avid gamers passed on it when they learned that the tablet controller with the big screen was a cocktease. The switch is a correction of all those mistakes, and it's what gamers wanted the Wii U to be. You mean Altered Beast and Genesis.

El Burbo posted:Actually the frame rate in portable mode is good. Docked mode is the real clunker Which is a real problem that no one seems to ever point out The whole point of this gimmick switch thing is that it docks and gets a boost in specs to better support a tv screen instead of a small tablet Except that even nintendo themselves couldnt figure out how to make a small res bump from 720p to 900p work without the framerate stuttering at sub-30 fps It's the same dumb stuff that made the ps4 pro a joke at release where the ENHANCED versions of games were shittier than the old ones What's even the point of having 2 sets of specs if there's no real difference between them? When the more powerful version is actually a shittier experience? But I'm expecting the switchsquad to roll in and tell me that sub-30 fps stuttering is only a problem for the turbonerds and 15fps is all everyone needs

It's been mentioned in nearly every review, and users are talking about the fact that the game plays better in handheld mode. koolkal posted:But I'm expecting the switchsquad to roll in and tell me that sub-30 fps stuttering is only a problem for the turbonerds and 15fps is all everyone needs You guys are really hoping to get some mileage out of this strawman. People get that low framerate is a failing, it's just that they're not howling about it enough to satiate the dipshits who've tied their identity to the Switch failing.

Anyone else's joycons a bit wiggly in handheld mode? I noticed a very slight shifting in mine, did some poking and it turns out the bottom of the plastic rail on my left joycon wiggles a bit. It's very slight but if I'm shifting the console in my hands I can sometimes feel it and it makes a slight creaking. The right joycon also wiggles but it's barely noticeable unless I'm actively trying to detect it. Is this normal? Did I loosen it? I've held the Switch in one hand now and then when checking my phone or having a drink, but I don't think I was putting too much pressure on that joycon. pliable posted:Has anyone had an issue with the L Joy-Con becoming kind of loose in the grip?

Zelda should have probably stayed 720p docked but then people would have had melt downs about it being "too low res". Or least give people the option. Saying the wii u can do 1080p is meaningless because resolution and framerate aren't just independent variables, they're tied to levels of detail in-game as well. Nintendo could have made zelda 1080p60fps if they had been willing to dial back some of the details and effects in-game. But they didn't. They chose to release a stuttering sub-30 fps game to chase the 900p target that was an xbone meme circa 2013

I've owned every Nintendo console (Wii and Wii U were both gifts) but if I didn't get the Wii U as a gift I would've probably skipped it entirely. At least the Switch is actually good? Like, literally when the Wii U came out reviews were like "this gimmick is pretty stupid" at least with the Switch a lot of those same sites are like "This gimmick is actually pretty cool!" Even after 4 years I still dont understand what the Wii U gimmick is. What the gently caress is that tablet for

The right joycon also wiggles but it's barely noticeable unless I'm actively trying to detect it. I haven't had personal experience, but there are numerous videos where this happened to people. From what I read it is a joycon issue since using a new set of joycons made it go away for those with access to a second set. Some were always wobbly, some became wobbly after use. this worries me, so if I need to one-hand the switch I hold the tablet part at the top and the bottom instead of one joycon

My wife only plays Mario Party, occasionally Kart or N64 tetris games with me, and she enjoys snipperclips a lot and thought 1 2 Switch was stupid (except for the dice game).

But for reals, it doesn't seem like the rail is loose on my Joy-Con, fortunately. I really don't know what happened. It's not a HUGE deal, but it seems like it could get worse over time.

Well the WiiU version is anyway. So give it some time and I reckon you'll see 1080p 60FPS BotW running on high end pcs.

It's also technically a Wii U port and probably not as perfectly optimized for the system as it could be

Aside from being ambitious it was ported to a completely different architecture late in its lifecycle. Other games they are porting have received greater framerate and resolution bumps.

I imagine the framerate problems BOTW has at higher resolutions are more due to, like, the fact it's a huge game that's doing a lot at once than Nintendo being unable to figure anything out.

What the gently caress is that tablet for The tablet was brilliant for people who had partners that wanted to watch other things on the main TV whilst they played some Mario Kart or whatnot. It was awesome and I'm glad the Switch inherited some of the same DNA, instead of just being another PS4/Xbox clone console. Hell, the internet just dropped at my work for about 20 minutes and it was awesome just to say "gently caress it" and play Zelda for the interim.
