Less than two weeks after Nintendo pulled the plug on the Wii U and 3DS marketplaces people are already lining up to buy another proprietary Japanese handheld console that can and will be turned into a paperweight and its games lost to the ether the moment it stops being profitable

Get a Steam Deck or one of the other portable handheld controller style PCs you clowns

      I've been trying to get Breath of the Wild running all day but I can't get above 20 frames per second :( It looks so fucking good at 3440x1440. I am being teased by a slideshow.

      I'm not really sure what the bottleneck is either. I've got 32GB of ram, an AMD 6700XT, and an i7-4770k (8 thread, overclocked to 4.3GHz). This thing eats most Switch games for breakfast. The CPU is a bit old, but it's no slouch.

        My guess is the game isn't meant to run at that resolution and thats why it shits the bed. You might just have to settle for its native resolution until Switch emulators improve

          For whatever reason, it seems like the WiiU version is what the emulation crowd settled on. It's the one with the most mods (including a 60FPS mod which people seem to run just fine on older hardware). I've just about given up on it. I'm hoping to try the Switch version in a couple different emulators before I go to bed.

            wii-u emulation has reached a good level of maturity
            run cemu 1.4(?) whatever the one before the switch to 2.0 is
            it runs great on my (mess of a) machine

            Also has the best and up to date version of the Zelda's Ballad mod where you play the entire game as Zelda with great outfits (that aren't oversexualized bullshit most of the tome either).

              Whoa, that looks sick! Wish I knew this was a thing before I was 100 hours into the game, but I guess I can finish it out in style at least, and it'll make things fresher.

                Recommend doing another playthrough with it instead. Maybe on Master mode or something. It actually changes story/cutscene stuff to keep up the illusion of playing as Zelda.
