Edit: I know you can play Zelda BOTW on The Wii-U, but if there was ever one game in the history of video games that deserves to be played in the best way you can possibly play it, then this is it.
It's worth every last penny I spent on the Switch.
The game was developed for the Wii U and ported to the Switch. What makes the Switch version so much better?
On a TV, the Nintendo Switch version of the game renders in 900p, the Wii U version renders in 720p.
The Nintendo Switch version has higher-quality environmental sounds. As a result, the sound of steps, water, grass, etc. are more realistic and enhance the game's Open-Air feel.
If any game in the history video games deserves to be played with those enhancements then this is the one.
Also with the Switch version you can take the game anywhere, my daughter took out and played it for acouple hours and battery lasred fine.
I've played the game for about 15 hours now and I've not seen anything that would be enhanced by the Wii-U's touch game pad.
Do I like the modern era Nintendo as a company? No
Do I like hipster Nintendorks fanboys? No
But there is no denying this Zelda game is a Nintendo return to form, in fact it surpasses anything they've ever done, or anyone else has ever done.
