Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Smash Brothers Ultimate Graphical Downgrades

So, I'm really excited for the new Super Smash Brothers game on Nintendo Switch. Seeing a game of such girth and magnitude is really amazing. Once again Nintendo is creating the fighter with the most content and bang for your buck. 

However, while looking at pre-release footage I couldn't help but notice a few significant graphical downgrades.

Snake in Smash Brothers Brawl:

Snake in Smash Brothers Ultimate:

Zero Suit Samus in Smash Brothers 4:

Zero Suit Samus in Smash Brothers Ultimate:

And obviously, Wii Fit Trainer: 

The physics and character models are all off. I thought the entire point of bringing back every single fighter was to have them all fully realized in crisp HD with detailed models? I know there was always going to be compromises made because the Switch is a portable console. But this disappoints me so much, I didn't know it was less powerful than the Wii U. 

 

What do you guys think? Do these downgrades turn you off? Or do they turn you on? 



this could have been semi interesting until the line of

"I didn't know it was less powerful than the Wii U. "

All I can say in reply to the thread then is.

It isn't.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I think Snakes booty is what was bricking a lot of Wii consoles back then so they had to tone it down a but for this release.

This game is on the ps4

That must mean it's less powerful than the SNES!

How else could you explain these graphics!?

The game isn't 100% finished yet? 



Man, Snake hasn't been himself ever since Kojima left Konami.



The samus one is a crime against humanity and the nobel peace prize should be taken away from Sakurai.

If they don't change the models before the game comes out then you can safely say now the Switch has no major games this year.
