I wouldnt just assume that the Switch Version of Breath of Wild will be better than the Wii U version. It was designed to be a Wii U game after all, and didnt Nintendo say there would not be ANY graphical upgrades on Switch? We still dont know if the screen on Switch will be touch, either ( I assume it will be, but we dont know for sure). Whatever functionality Nintendo had in mind with the Wii U touchpad may not work the same on the Switch.

On a related now, when you take the Switch out of its docking cradle thing, does it ALWAYS turn immediately into a handheld? Or can you taken it out and play it using the Switch screen and your TV screen at the same time, similar to how Wii U works? Another question to ponder....

I think the success at least when it comes to 3rd party support may depend on how powerful it is, as much as I hate to say that. It sounds like its using this Nvidia Tegra Chip, but nobody knows if its the Tegra X1 or the Tegra X2 which is not really released yet and suppoused quite powerful, while the X1 is apparently not very powerful, not even up to snuff with Xbox one / PS4...If companies cant port games over to Switch without major graphical downgrades, I doubt they will even bother, and we will have a similar problem that the WiiU had.
