The Wii U was reportedly also somewhat difficult to develop for (especially compared to the reboxed PCs that are the PS4 and XBox One), and the second screen also didn't help matters in that regard. The Switch will benefit from a fairly standard set of inputs and outputs: the buttons on the Joycons map pretty easily to the XBone and PS4 controllers, and it's just a single display (though the difference in power levels between docked and undocked is a slight hitch there).
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoThe 2nd screen makes a lot of games better, BotW would be much better with the 2nd screen showing inventory, maps etc.. Presumably that was how it was originally designed (Sheikha Slate) and they crippled it to favour the Switch?
- delecti 10y agoOh, I totally agree that the 2nd screen was awesome when properly used. I had the same theory around the Shiekah Slate/Gamepad parallel. They've done similar things with an item's in-game aesthetic matching the system it's on (most notably the Pokedex in several games matching the hardware it was released for).
