The Switch is more powerful than the WiiU.. do we still have people out there thinking it isn't?

Look at the evidence in the OP!

It's clearly a joke...

Making someone's ass and boobs smaller isn't a downgrade lol.

I agree, that’s usually an upgrade.

It would be really cool if Goku is in Smash Bros Ultimate. If that happens, it would make the downgrades less of a turn off.

They'd probably shrink his butt too and then we gained nothing.

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.

Then how do you explain the downgrade? 

BotW, a game designed for WiiU, runs at 720p on WiiU.

 

The same game, ported, runs at 900p docked and 720p handheld.  Furthermore the framerate in portable mode is much smoother than the WiiU version.

 

There are other examples, but the Switch is a sizable stwp up from WiiU.  I am surprised that you of all people did not know that.

 

As for the "downgrades", they do not look like downgrades at all so much as newer character models that differ from what you are used to.  Solid Snake for example looks like a step up to me.

 

And seeing how this is NOT A PORT of the WiiU game, new character models with a slightly different art style makes sense.  Different yes, but by no means is any of this a downgrade.

The game isn't 100% finished yet? 

I don't recall God of War 2018 looking worse than God of War 3 when it was first presented at E3. 

I don't recall any game whatsoever to look a whole generation better in just a few months. No, Smash Ultimate will stay this way. 4 years should be enough to provide better graphics.

Ultimate models are kinda greeny

They're not, the models are just affected by a particular stages lighting, see these ones in another stage show a warmer hue;

Good one Alchemist. This is one of the better uses of the downgrade meme I've seen.

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.

So... because the models of a prerelease version of the game don’t have as much detail it suddenly isn’t a major release?  I’m thinking you are caring way too much about tiny graphical differences here man...
