I played breath of the wild during covid and was just blown away by it, both as a work of art as well as technical brilliance. Knowing the switch's limitations, it felt like a AAA demoscene. I only learned later that the Wii was also a release platform!!!
- jonhohle 2y agoIt was released on the Wii-U. The Wii-U arguably has a better GPU than the Switch due to different power constraints. However, the total CPU/GPU/RAM package is much better on the Switch. I also believe that BotW was developed for the Wii-U, which crashed so quickly that porting it to the Switch made sense.
