Forums - Nintendo - Gamespot: Zelda BoTW runs smoothly in Wii U, not Switch

No they cant, this needs to be able to run perfectly off of the cartridge (they are supposedly all non writeable ones).

With 32GB disk space, relying on patches for games just isnt viable.

Can we Trump over here to tweet about gamespot being fake news network?

Hold on, though. The impression I got from the video was that he was saying playing with the Game Pad was a lot smoother than playing with the Joy Con Puppy-thing. He said aiming with the Puppy was very difficult in comparison.

The girl said there was a lot of texture pop-in but I think she also said it wasn't the final build.

This is a shocker. Is it for optimization? Or weaker hardware?

Hasn't the Wii U version been done for months? I imagine that the Switch needs to be tuned up and will be. They won't botch a Zelda game.

The Switch looks like a disaster. I'm terribly sad that Nintendo has failed again.

Wii U version is probably done and the next 3 or 4 weeks before they go into production will be spent optimising.

Yes they can patch. If Nintendo has plans like other developers including Sony and Microsoft to patch buggy games later then that tiny 32 GB storage needs to be expanded. Otherwise they will be in a difficult situation.

It supports up to 2tb

Is anything positive coming from the Switch hardware?

I know many will hate me, will ban me, will humillate me, will call me an scumbag, but this machine screams Iwata pretty loudy.

Will still wait for further impressions, but this us Wii U reloaded.

Just think it as a handheld...........
