@Nintendofan83 Same things worry me. I love my Wii U and if something will break gamepad screen, than console is dead. Too bad you can not buy separate gamepad.
@gcunit actually you can aim with motion control on Switch and I expect it to be in Wii U version too. I saw its happening in one of the latest gameplay demos.
I looked on 2014 Zelda U demonstration with Miyamoto and imo it looked better. So deep colors and lightning, grass, trees, shadows, fighting scene and no slowdowns at all. And map on a gamepad was so awesome! You could mark areas you heading to. And now we lost all of it.
@Nico07 search for Aonuma interview to Wired in 2016. He says they just realised that using gamepad screen sucks, lol. After two Zelda games that worked great with it. For me it looks like they do not want Wii U to have more features.
I'll get this one on Wii U. We haven't seen latest game build running on Wii U to compare both versions. Though Switch version still have frame rate issues, and only 900p on dock mode. I feel like Nintendo just want everybody get BotW with Switch. Wii U version doesn't get mentioned at all.
Nintendo could just release updated Wii U. Cheaper, with redesigned gamepad, more light, better battery life. Market it another way, just before SB or MK8 releases. But they decided just drop it into trash can, wii u owners alongside.
@MadAdam81 it looks live they will give you 20 y/o games for only month, and than replace them with other ones. Without adding to you library. And what about library? Buying everything again? No linking to account? I fell like Nintendo try to copy other companies moves and obviously doing it wrong.
And no free games with it. I bet online services will not become better. Nintendo just cant do it. Hell, something wrong with this guys. May be they allow ass to add more than 100 friends at least?
Sorry to say, but Im disappointed. Lunch lineup is too weak for me. Im getting BotW on my Wii U and going to w8 for Switch price cut. Not going to become "ambassador" once again. And where is Skyrim?
Come on people. Rumors will not stop after January 13. There will be even more. Nintendo never reveal what is inside of their consoles. They will only show us ways to use Switch and some games.
@TheLZdragon Yes, I know, Wii U is dead. But more VC games like Mother 3 (that is already exist in Japanese eShop) could make a nice goodbye kiss from Nintendo to Wii U owners. But they decide to target everything to Switch. Come on, its a VC release, not a big deal for new console. They have to push Switch with new releases, not old games.
Nintendo spits on Wii U owners faces once again. All this disrespect is one of the reasons I will not buy Switch day one. I do not belive them anymore. Ill get Switch only after new Zelda game release (not Zelda U).
I remember comments was like "no! lies! it will destroy xbo/ps4! switch strong! much power! new tegra! pascal!". And now its like "who cares about graphics!? sony/ms poisoning game industry! gameplay matters! wii u power is pretty enough".
Just look at new Zelda BotW graphics (on Fallon show) and compare it to Xbone GoW4, or PS4 Uncharted 4. Do not tell me you expect this performance level on mobile device in 720p. It doesn't bother me tho, I only wish for more games, tp support even with worse graphics.
Im not happy to see how Wii U dying. Its not how Wii did, or PS3, or else. I see how Wii U just dropped into filthy trashcan with a bunch of other trash. And its Nintendo who did this.
Getting this on my Wii U day one. Not so excited about Switch, because still no games shown, I mean system-selling games, not remaster or Ubisoft trash.
Nintendo made everything wrong with Wii U. Failed everything about this console, except some games. Still cant see how is Switch case going to be better.
4gb ram? Good news? No wonder why there will be no RDR 2 on Switch. I still have much hope for Switch, but, sorry to say, it's not a day one buy for me.
Dual screen concept for handheld is awesome! DS line just have to be continued. I just wish it have both top and bottom screens have same size and resolution, it gives better experience and variation in gameplay.
Im ok with remakes of great old games from CG and Wii, but not from Wii U. Its a modern HD console. New titles, sequels is what i w8 from NX. I more often start to ask myself – what I even need "NX" for?
For me it all looks like NX is not going be released in March 2017. Im practically sure of it now. It will be revealed in March, and released in summer or spring 2017. Im getting Xbox One now. I know what it is, what games it has i want to play, and games that will be released in near future. And Im still not sure about NX. Looks like N again doing something "very special". Yeah, Wii U was so special, that no one understand it. What after release? Generic Mario platformer on start? Game announces? Waiting again? Delays again? No, thanks.
I wonder how soon Nintendo will shut down MK8 and SMM online servers. Seriously, I expect it to happen it late 2017, or mid 2018. It's going to be a last spit in Wii U owner's faces.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Will Require a 3GB Install on Wii U
