It makes it look like you prefer the WiiU versions.

It's a little sad that there needs to be a thread to emphasise the Switch is more powerful than the WiiU. Congratulations.

It's sad that people constantly bash the Switch for being weaker than the PS4 when it is less than 1/10 of the size of any PS4 model.

I thought the wii u and Switch had the same frame rate for Zelda just less slowdown on Switch.

Well to be honest, I was intially very surprised and shocked when the Switch concept was announced that a handheld could be so powerful, the jump from 3DS to Switch is by far the biggest graphical leap in Nintendo hanhelds.

I think what he means is the the framerate is more stable on Switch

The bashing comes from people that couldn't care less about the size. Because they want a home console and Nintendo doesn't offer one other than the Switch.

It is definitely the biggest leap, well apart from GBA - DS maybe. It's impressively powerful as a portable device.

To each his own but 800 × 240 px for 3DS, and 1280  × 720 for Nintendo Switch is a much bigger leap than; 256 × 192 px for the Nintendo DS, and 240 × 160 px for the Game Boy Advance. The Nintendo Switch is the first the HD deicated gaming handheld (That is an actual platform with exclusive libabary, it's OS, it's own digital store, physical controls, i.e. not some ios or android smartphone or tablet that is far from the class of being a dedicated gaming handheld) for sure expeceted that Sony would be the first, I thought Nintendo's next handheld would be between Gamecube and Wii.
