Is Switch's processing power important to you?

I agree with the first part, Nintendo have proven they don't need high end specs to make pretty games. Mario Galaxy and Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, case in point. I'm sure they'll do the same on Switch.

In terms of power though, Switch doesn't look like it will be any stronger for its time than Wii or Wii U were.

Don't even try to count how many times Wii was less powerful than Xbox360/PS3 (20-30x maybe), Switch will be probably around half of power of XB1, so of course that Switch will be more powerful than Wii in its time.

In terms of power, Wii was similar to 2001 hardware, Wii U was about equal to what a 2007 console would have been, and if Switch is around three times as powerful as Wii U, that would put it around par with what a mid range 2011 system could have achieved. So all three are around 5 years behind the curve.

And no, "modern hardware" doesn't change that. If Switch is x3 Wii U, then it is mid range 2011 power.
