I wonder if there will be games running below 720/900p in the future, something like 540/720p....

I doubt Nintendo will go below 720p as that was their baseline on Wii U, a less powerful system.

I'm pretty sure Pokken runs in 560p or something like that. This game is pixelated mess. Demo at least.

Pokken is 960x720 with no AA, so it is sub-HD, but that wasn't a first party developed title, it was made externally by Namco Bandai.

Are there any Switch games confirmed to be sub-900p when docked yet? Or at least first-party games? Threads like this seem premature. Digital Foundry speculated with solid reasoning that Nintendo is optimizing their games for portable mode first and adding docked more enhancements toward the end of development. There's no need to jump to conclusions about Splatoon 2, which is still at least 4 months away from release. I think the only mostly-completed games we've seen are Zelda (900p) and Mario Kart (1080).

There will surely be some 720p games eventually (Xenoblade 2, probably), but I'll be surprised if Splatoon, Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem, etc don't surpass that. They are running at 720 undocked, what else would they use the extra power for?

Given the size of the Switch's screen, I could live with 720, but when playing on the TV, yeah, 720 seems kind of pathetic now days.

I for one play games and not resolutions.

Actually we don't have any confirmation that any final game will be 720p, but we already have confirmation that games like MK8 Deluxe, ARMS, Fast RMX are 1080p while only Zelda is 900p.

If that means increasing the cost to $400 USD, I would be against it :/

Increasing a 6.2" screen from 1280x720 to 1920x1080 shouldn't add $101 to the cost. There are Chinese phones with 1080P 6" panels, few gigs of Ram, mid-range SoC for about $110 USD.

 

Actualy its not only about screen, higher resolution means stronger hardware or higher clocs of hardware, and that means even weaker battery life than it is.

Exactly, we have 3 games confirmed working at 1080p, one at 900p and non confirmed final game that will run at 720p.

I dont think any 1st party game will run on TV mode at 720p or in portable mode below 720p.

I still don't get why people are so obsessed with resolution and framerate. Graphics shouldn't be that important and resolution is just a detail. For me, 360p is good enough.

360p is good enough for a 4K screen?



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I still get insane amounts fo fun from 240P games. I don't care much about resolution. ARMS looks amazing.

Did any of you guys even read the OP? He has a 4k screen. 4K!!! The scaling must be pretty bad. 1080p games look blury as hell on my 2K IPS.

I have my Wii U, which I assume has less resolution than Switch capabilities, hooked up to a massive projector in my basement, and everything on it looks beautiful (except for Starfox zero... just eww). As long as the Switch can pull off that I'm good, if it does better than w/e.

Does you projector output in 4K?
