Sadly most don't realize this. Nintendo has come so far and this is such a big jump for them. I'm so excited for what they can create with Nvidia moving forward. As long as they stay with modern architecture switch systems will be fine. I hope they don't mess things up and continue to build for the betterment of their platform.
I don't see why cel shaded characters would be particularly expensive to do on an open world Wii U game, there is Breath of the Wild already running on it,and 360/PS3 could have handled cel shading as well.
* Nvidia cards generally perform better than AMD cards FLOP for FLOP. The 4.4 TFLOP GTX1060 is roughly on par with the 5.8 TFLOP RX580.
This is slapped together and kind of assumes you know the differences between architectures, but it clearly shows that the Switch is better than the Wii U in every metric. The real shocking thing here is that the Xbox 360 outclasses the Wii U in certain aspects. Are there seriously people who think the Switch is trading blows with the Vita?
They already modded BotW to remove cell shading and noticed marked improvement of performance.
Not sure there's much to gain from X and 2 comparisons. 2 was rushed and partially outsourced because more than half of the studio were on Zelda duty.
No question about that, I still think they got a lot of breathing room in not having to cut so many corners with working on Switch instead of WiiU.
It may have the more 'modern' GPU technically, but not best we haven't seen any real advantage Switch has over the XBOX ONE and PS4 GPUs so its a bit meaningless to say (still very good that it has a modern one and definitive advantage over Nintendo's previous systems)
The more resources you have to more you spend, that doesn't necessarily mean that there will more people not working on Zelda.
By that logic the GameCube is Nintendo's current most powerful hardware,
Not meaningless at all it is because of this directly that they are getting the ports that they are. Hopefully they stay on this path. Modern architecture along with updated api and devkits for developers. The best part is that they stay with Nvidia and tegra line so that developers learn and know the development environment for making switch games.
There's just a new thread with a title implying the Switch is less powerful than a ps2.
DSi has a full color camera. Two of them, even.
Well, duh! Everyone knows that you need a REAL console to play REAL matoor games with mud and grime and guns and shootz and stuff. Kiddie games like Yoshi and Kirby can only run on Fisher-Price kiddie systems, isn't that obvious???
So I assume Starfox Zero didn't look that good because of this, right?
Yep.
Yes, but not by much and that is to save battery life.
SFO had two screens, one at 1080p, the other at 480p both running 60fps under a full rendering load each.
Christ, I need a Switch remastered port of Star Fox Zero without all the WiiU bullshit that held it back. That's a game that needs a second chance, not Super Mario 3D World!
I stand corrected. It's a very clean looking 720p presentation! But yea, very simple geometry and textures.

There has been zero reports of a Shield TV anywhere on the internet throttling to 1GHz CPU and 768MHz GPU, what has been reported is that the GPU will throttle to around 768mhz and even lower depending on CPU load and that the device tries to maintain the CPU clock, which is actually important when you are trying to do stuff like drive cars with it.
