    This game is empty drivel. A shell of a much bigger game. The first 10 shrines are brainless, then you figure there are only about 40 total that are puzzles (rest are trials and simple walk to the orb) thats ~30 shrines and 5 divine beasts that dont even add up to one dungeon in any other zelda game. Ganons castle is skippable. This is my second play-through and there is just nothing to do.

    I've seen the vids of speed runners completing it in like 15 mins or so can't quite remember the exact time, it's pretty damn epic the way they use the map.

    yah Wired it not option for her Hell up till I told her to go get Asus AX58U using 2ghz wasn't and option cause the 2 ghz signals never cut threw what ever interference she has at her place and she used 5 different routers prior and that was even when 1 foot from router the 2ghz just never worked, but for some reason that AX58U seem to cut threw it cause both 2ghz and 5ghz works, I jut don't get why she get 100mbit on all her mobile phones, but switch i the same room on either 2ghz or 5ghz barely pushes 50mbit, short there is throttling happen either from Nintendo side or here ISP throttling connect

    Any confirmation on it using DLSS??? This could be a game changer for a console like this.

    Specs are the same. Just a new screen. Interesting choice given the limited 720p screen resolution.

    What a waste. What good is an oled screen for 720p? Could have at least added HDR.

    The screen size is bigger overall. So I guess colors will look more virbrant.

    It sure is a shame and somewhat of a missed opportunity. However, the current switch is still selling insanely well (85+ million sold so far) releasing a more powerful system would obviously drive up costs of a the machine, not to mention potentially segment their user base or in turn still limit developers to the original hardware as a baseline of what can be done with the hardware.

    Releasing a system update with just a new screen and a few more modern features (better audio, ethernet, battery etc) now can probably be done for near the same cost as what the original hardware was upon its release, allowing Nintendo to once again reset their pricing for the system and have this SKU right back where the original hardware was priced. Allowing them also to quickly sell off the original hardware stock as it becomes cheaper and therefore even more sort after.

    This also keeps hardware parity, even with a 720p screen its going to look pretty good with it now being OLED. Why replace something that is still selling faster than you can make them?

    Propably the biggest overriding factor is that Nintendo games take over 2 to 3 years to develop. This would increase with 1080p and better GPU capabilities.

    nobody knows what specs are, all of the sheet is vague, with nvidia ending production of tegra mariko it makes sense to move up to parker.

    Parker was the early codename for the Tegra GPU series(2016)?
