Digital Foundry's Tom Morgan guides you through the improvements found in Zelda: Breath of the Wild - and the lack of them, if you're playing on Wii U.
Fans and collectors should love this news as it looks great.
Michael from NoobFeed writes: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition is the same game that you know and love, but with additional bells and whistles that somehow make a perfect game even better. With a feature-rich companion app, true 4K visuals, buttery-smooth 60fps, and an extra save file, what's not to love?
Thank you for sharing this insightful review! It's fantastic to hear about all the improvements in the Switch 2 Edition and how they elevate an https://www.mymileestonecar... already amazing game.
CCG writes - "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition successfully takes one of Nintendo’s best titles and makes it look and run exponentially better than it ever has before. After playing this new version, it’s hard to think that I settled for such a worse-performing version all these years. "
I say this as an owner of a switch 2 officially now (got it finally last week). Thats all well and good, but lots of us were saying the switch was underpowered to begin with - then labeled as haters (why would a hater buy a device they hate?).
I loved BOTW on Switch but could never escape the feeling that despite how good, it just felt.... old... graphically.
Glad to see theres an elevated experience on the new switch 2... but the point still stands - imagine if Nintendo released an actual real console with the full power of the series x or ps5. then imagine what BOTW could look like. I wish Nintendo would do something like what MS did with series x/s - release a full proper console as the flagship, then have the switch as the portable scaled down option. They both play the same games, but the console would run the full blast version of the games. That would be a win in my book.
also like MS (and occasionally Sony), I wish Nintendo would release these upgrades for free. A new switch 2 game is already $80, and they're charging $18 to play a game you already own with better frame rates and resolution. thats almost as bad as them charging money for the "welcome tour" game, that literally just shows you the features of the switch. not a cheap system after purchase.
It's not free, but the upgrades are included in the Nintendo subscription service thingy.
I should of know Nintendo would ignore Wii U owners.
But i thought the Switch wont have any patch to fix their games because it uses cartridge xD
for all other games this would help boost overall ratings, but since nintendo and zelda this game was already awarded a perfect score and anyone that complained about these noticeable defects were simply told to stfu or take it and deal with it.
I've definitely noticed a huge difference, especially in TV mode.
Nintendo trolls be like, yes, ABOTW may be a masterpiece for the ages, but, not having both versions running at a locked 30fps 100% of the time is unforgivable, and no, the fact many AAA games running on PS4/XB1 run worse with added screen-tearing is not the same.
