It's not me claiming that's a bunch of lost sales, it's me claiming there is interest enough in a higher res version that people are willing to pay for it. But apparently not enough interest to buy a Switch cause 1080p is dirty nowadays. How is he supposed to play it in 4K, lol. The entitlement is strong here.

So yes WiiU version is causing lost sales for the Switch. Perhaps Nintendo will learn for the next time and screw Switch owners out of a last gen version when the next gen hits. Won't happen ofcourse as long as piracy stays low, but that doesn't make it right. Emulation is fine, yet not for brand new games.

 

Switch version cant even play it at 1080p. It runs on 900p fyi and thats even in docked mode.

 

People arent interested in just any higher resolution, they are interested in 4k which is impossible on even the Switch.

Nintendo didnt screw Switch owners for when releasing the game on the WiiU, screwing them would be releasing it on the WiiU only. I highly doubt a "loss" of a sale of the Switch version to the WiiU version is considered a loss for any person who owns a Switch, if it is, you need to set your priorities straight and not worry about a plastic/metal box and just enjoy the damn game on your preferred platform to play it.

Perhaps I'm wording it wrong. Ofcourse Nintendo didn't screw Switch owners, never said that. What I said is that releasing the WiiU version carried a risk for Nintendo because of Cemu. The risk is too small to make a significant impact, yet there are people happy with the WiiU version to play in Cemu. How Switch owners can get screwed is a scenario for next gen, Switch 2 if you like. Consider Swich has a fully working emulator by then which is hugely popular. Perhaps better to only release the next transitional Zelda on Switch 2 only and not on last gen hardware which is no longer 'safe'.

Why aren't developers allowed to lock their software to a specific system? Why don't they have a say in how their work can be enjoyed?

Perhaps you need to check your priorities and enjoy the game the way it was meant to be played instead of worrying about what resolution it's running in.
