Looks abysmal as usual

Nintendo needs to stop releasing shameful ass hardware.

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

Checks how much GC sold
Checks how much Switch sold

Given how it would occasionally struggle on XSX and PS5, I'm really surprised at how well those look. Static images only tell half the tale of course, I'll be interested in seeing actual gameplay footage. However, they managed to do some magic (pun unintentional) with the PS4 and XBO ports, and I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to get this running decently on the Switch despite the limitations.

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.

I personally know at least four: My cousin and her daughter, and my sister-in-law and her son. All are Harry Potter superfans, all only have Switch consoles, all have been anxiously awaiting this release.

 

[LordOfChaos]

We sure need that Switch 2/Pro

 

[bender]

Looks amazing.

only reason this makes sense at all

 

[IDKFA]

Looks okay for a Switch game.

This just adds to the argument that the Switch 2 needs to be an absolute beast. I'm talking more powerful than a Steam Deck.

 

[MirageMew2]

Actually looks serviceable.

 

[Chuck Berry]

holy moly that looks like shit

Good thing the people buying it wont care

 

[nordique]

Looks good for a switch port. /shrug

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Another meltdown on retardera incoming.

 

[Rival]

I was expecting worse.

 

[Woopah]

Looks good in screenshot, let's see how the framerate is.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Another meltdown on retardera incoming.

Especially since the sales will be through the roof.

 

[lingpanda]

Looks fine. Performance is what I'm curious about.

 

[Skifi28]

It's the performance that worries me, not the visuals.

Then again, I'm not that worried as I don't plan on playing it on Switch. Still, thoughts and prayers to those affected.

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

transphobia in glorious 280i resolution

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Switch 2 enhancements probably baked into the code already at this point.

 

[killatopak]

I own a Switch but will never buy a 3rd party game there unless indie or has no need for intense graphics. Nintendo first party is where its at.

 

[Garibaldi]

My nieces will lap this shit up. They've been excited for it since I let them play my pc version

 

[Hudo]

I mean.... why?

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Come on Nintendo.

You aren't 4Chan.

I want HIGH QUALITY transphobia and tattoo remorse tears.

 

[Adam_802]

DF video is gonna be great lol

 

[rofif]

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

it doesn't matter but ps5 takes 200w

 

[Spukc]

it doesn't matter but ps5 takes 200w

According to the PlayStation Blog, the PS5 disc edition has a power rating of 350Wh at full speed – while running visually-demanding games, such as, say, God of War, Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring etc. – with the console's digital edition coming in at 340Wh. maybe i took the wrong info ! but yeah still lol

 

[Kabelly]

this look great. pretty much just lower resolution and nothing scary like mortal kombat. for a portable version it will look fine considering.

Yeah no idea why they state that.
The most DF has measures was 220w on original ps5 and 200w on the later revisions.
probably rated with overhead

 

[RoboFu]

I think it looks pretty good for the hardware. . It's actually very clean and polished looking.

Someof you expect the switch to be on par with the ps5?

 

[Killer8]

Another "miracle" port...

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[LordBlodgett]

Looks perfectly fine for the Switch, hopefully it runs well, but it won't be my choice way to play the game either way. Will be perfect for my nephews who only have a switch though.

 

[//DEVIL//]

I wish i didn't see this "first look" my eyes are bleeding -_-

 

[Wooxsvan]

Better than expected tbh.

100% agree. nicely done.

 

[nemiroff]

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

"Run" indeed.

 

[yamaci17]

it looks better than what I imagined
they did some actual work to make it presentable... compared to this



this is game that is uncompliant with 2 GB VRAM on PC and turns into this.

at least faces are recognizable somewhat in those shots

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

First and, hopefully, last look.

 

[John Bilbo]

Am I high or are my standards too low because this looks good to me?

 

[RoboFu]

Am I high or are my standards too low because this looks good to me?

Neither ... Just like other Nintendo threads all the fanboys have is their precious "spec" war.

 

[tkscz]

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

Why not? Most people who love harry Potter have a switch and are waiting on this very. Hell, looks better than MK1

 

[RoadHazard]

Better than expected TBH.

 

[cyberheater]

Looks pretty good for a mobile game.

 

[Chastten]

It looks fine for what it is, but I still don't understand why they're bothering with this. Surely they can't expect all that much sales when the game released 6-10 months earlier on every other platform. Should've just cancelled this one and release a GotY edition for Switch 2 at this point.

I'd imagine it would do decent numbers if it were to release in the launch window of the next Switch. Much better than releasing it on Switch now, at the very least.

This. Rather than desperately shoe horning this game into the switch, spend those resources getting ready for switch 2 launch and polish the game to a shine to deliver the experience that fans of the game and the franchise deserve.

 

[Shadowstar39]

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

Its happened to me on a number of occasions, I did it at work once and had to catch myself.

 

[Dream-Knife]

It looks a lot better than I was expecting.

 

[Yamisan]

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

Thats not an excuse, this is 2023. Making hardware thats 2 decades out of date and trying to port current gen games to it is a horrible idea.

 

[justiceiro]

Looks abysmal as usual

Nintendo needs to stop releasing shameful ass hardware.

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

Maybe people should stop buying them in the first place.

 

[BadBurger]

Eh, it's a Switch game, and the little kids who are going to play this on their Switch won't care.

 

[Lupin25]

For the devs.

Warner Bros wants the additional Switch sales, but if it plays like crap, it won’t be worth the risk. Hopefully that’s not the case.

They’re probably hoping for situation similar to The Witcher 3 or DOOM Eternal.

 

[LordOcidax]

Actually… Looks a lot better than expected… Great job.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

holy moly that looks like shit

It looks better than Mortal Kombat 1

Honestly it looks a lot better than anyone could have expected
