Not a bad video but there is one strange thing which isn't being addressed at all about the visuals being offered from the switch compared to the Wii-u

The point is that not only was the Wii-U rendering it's software on the TV but in a lot of games it was also streaming a second video feed to the Wii-U tablet with it's 854x480 resolution, I know that doesn't require a huge amount of power on it's own, but it was something that the Wii-U's GPU was handling at the exact same time it was doing the main TV displays output video. Being compacted back to always displaying on a single screen with the Switch (either TV or portable screen) it most certainly have saved some Power which the Wii-U was using on the extra screen.

That's irrelevent as far as Breath of the Wild is concerned since the game doesn't use the second screen. 

DF talk about the upgrade from 720p > 1080p in MK8 for ages but never once mention the removal of the extra screen which the Wii-U was rendering at 854x480 and streaming from the system.
