More than a portable Wii U
With the relative closeness (on a technical level) between the two versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, early curiosity around the Switch has focused on how much of a boost it truly offers over Wii U.

Video Punishing Drop Test Reveals The Nintendo Switch Is Tougher Than It Looks
Won't someone think of the Joy-Cons, though?
