Switch version looks like they turned on the light switch

[AZTenor]

60 FPS, better lighting, higher resolution?! Holy crap I need this

[dayago]

They also improved the draw distance significantly. Enemies pop up on screen a lot farther than the Wii U version.

[TheBrownLamb]

Wait what!? The Switch version appears to be running at 60fps. I had no idea that was going to be the case for this port. Good stuff!

Wonder what's with the weather change in Hyrule Field? Overcast in the Wii U version and clear in the Switch version.

The amount of enemies on screen has gone up like crazy.

i find it odd they changed the mood of the first battle field. it was dark and cloudy as is usual when the forces of evil invade, its usually on a cloudy day, BUT i do like the clear day look to the field.

[blackfire]

Way sharper/brighter than the original and a much better draw distance plus everything in smooth 60 FPS, awesome!
Great comparison video (Y)

I personally prefer the cloudy weather and I'm a sucker for non HD graphics so I might get the wii U version
(don't ask me why I just think it adds a charm to the game? Like I love Mario Galaxy's graphics but quite dislike the polish given to Super Mario Odyssey.. is that weird?)

I think most ports run very well on switch (especially wii u) because you know what's missing and how much you can update it and other things like that.

Now I want a Digital Foundry comparison and analysis. The Switch version of the game looks MUCH smoother.

[LREHAnimation]

This is one of the few times that a remastered version looks noticeably better than the original game. Great job, Nintendo!

[minionman]

Performance is better on Switch but they forgot the clouds. Its too bright

[LEESHx]

I honestly didn’t think there’d be much of a change but it’s great to see that there is quite a big improvement in the Switch version. Day one pick up for sure :)

[BradTheDead]

Having to wait a couple more months for the english version is so cruel lol. I'm tempted to import but I know I would regret it.

[tye]

I wasn't quite sure if I was gonna pick this up again, but they really improved a lot of things on the Switch version. I'm a bit more interested

[bctalicorn]

That 60 fps is SWEET!!! Everything looks so much smoother!

[milenkabelrrios]

1:34 in switch i can see more characters in distance

[andrewfrederick]

game play looks better on switch, but I like the darker look of the Wii U. I would like a switch eventually, but at this point there is nothing about it that justifies the cost of the system. There are not any games on it worth getting IMO that I don't own for the U. I only paid $80 for my Wii U about 5 years ago.

I'm not a fan of the weather change for Hyrule Field, seems kinda pointless and takes away from the game imo
