Support NeoGAF

It was recently discovered that the Nintendo eShop has been updated with the first images of Hogwarts Legacy running on the Nintendo Switch.

You can see them below:































Another interesting detail is that on the eShop page it was also revealed that Hogwarts Legacy weighs only 6.8 GB, therefore, it takes up almost no space in the console's storage.

 

[Maddoxswe]

holy moly that looks like shit

 

[cormack12]

Is this cloud supported.

What were you expecting from the Switch hardware?

Seems to be on par with TW 3, if not better

Screenshots can be misleading, but we will see once we see some footage

 

[kiphalfton]

Just because it can "run" on the switch doesn't mean it should be released on the switch.

 

[Certinty]

Yep, not only is the game going to look like utter shit it's also no doubt going to play like crap too.

Embarrassing that the likes of this and Mortal Kombat 1 simply weren't cancelled on the Switch when they knew this would be the case. I know there's a fair bit of money to be had with both, especially this one, but come on...

 

[AV]

That'll do, and it'll sell super well. Imagine the Venn diagram of Harry Potter fans and people who only own a Switch. Gotta be fairly substantial.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Looks like a Quest VR type of game.

 

[Krieger]

That's not running, that's struggling.

 

[Disco Dave]

Can't wait to see the full skinny on Digital Foundry.

 

[adamsapple]

Looks like a mid-gen PS3 game in this one.

Looks legit G - same as the Series S version

Bruuuuh ... come on lol.

 

[Banjo64]

Looks legit G - same as the Series S version

 

[Fbh]

Looks like Hogwarts Legacy downgraded to run on a Ps3/360....which I guess makes sense.
If the framerate is actually decent I guess this won't be too bad....but I'm expecting 10fps when flying around.

 

[proandrad]

Fun fact, these are not screenshots they are actual videos of the game in motion.

 

[MrTired]

I think it looks alright to be honest

 

[jshackles]

 

[Represent.]

Looks abysmal as usual

Nintendo needs to stop releasing shameful ass hardware.

Imagine how much better Zelda would be on a GameCube like machine

 

[LordCBH]

Honestly looks fine? Considering it’s the switch. It’ll look ok on that small screen.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Those are actually videos in the OP. FPS not looking great.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

 

[Banjo64]

Bruuuuh ... come on lol.

for real for real

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Looks good for a handheld system. Gonna outsell all other versions as well.

 

[Elginer]

Just because it can "run" on the switch doesn't mean it should be released on the switch.

This so very much.

I don't think Nintendo wants to imagine for very long their next tentpole Zelda game running on their second worst selling console.

 

[PSYGN]

WHY IS NOT PS5 GRAPHICS OMG

 

[Horseganador]

If the console clearly cannot move it with a minimum of quality, DO NOT RELEASE IT, leave it for Switch 2, many people will buy it without knowing and will find "this".

 

[GymWolf]

Better than expected tbh.

 

[Fake]

Looks decent for a portable.

 

[thatJohann]

Looks great. Just hope the loading times are not too brutal

 

[Lucifers Beard]

To be honest, I expected worse. Looks way better than I thought it would. Not sure what some of you expected, it's Switch hardware. It's also going to sell gangbusters because the Switch is a massive platform.

 

[Saber]

Honestly, it's not as bad as it looks. Looks solid imo.
I was expecting a pretty shit work like Doom for Switch, which is a blurry fest, or like Ark, where the old version made the game totally unrecognizable. This one looks pretty tame in terms of the sacrifices taken. The only thing that rest is see how it runs.

 

[El Muerto]

It's running on a 7yr old tablet. I think it looks great for what it is. I was expecting something that looks like a n64 game.

 

[Godot25]

Like. I understand that Switch has huge installbase.

But it would make so much more sense to just wait for next Switch and port the game there...

 

[Mowcno]

Could have been worse.... but yeah I don't expect this will do very well. 9 months late and might drop as low as 360p.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Nintendo’s lack of console power is a crysis, some effort is needed.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Switch has its share of ports. Some fantastic, some not so much. Looks alright so far.

 

[Freeman76]

holy moly that looks like shit

Its switch, did u expect 4k60?

 

[Portugeezer]

Framerato Expelliarmus

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Imagine how much better Zelda would be on a GameCube like machine

 

[VitoNotVito]

It looks shit but I was actually expecting worse

 

[Jooxed]

Doesn't look as bad as I thought, wife is pretty excited to play this on her switch. She cant tell the difference in graphics so I think this is probably who a port like this is designed for.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It legit looks fine for a Switch port. If it also runs well then I expect for it to sell quite good, especially during the upcoming holiday season where parents will rush to buy it as Xmas gift for their kids.

 

[Kenpachii]

Looks pretty good

 

[64bitmodels]

Play Wind Waker and Twilight princess if you want Gamecube Zelda

you know someones gamer brained when they start spelling crisis with a y.....

 

[squarealex]

 

[onQ123]

I thought this was supposed to come out in like July?

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Time for new hardware.

 

[mystech]

Switch 2 can't come soon enough!

 

[Spukc]

damn that looks good for the switch..
people seem to forget this is running on a fucking 11 watts machine,
not a 350 watts device like the ps5

kinda like shitting on the Paralympics
