It’s hugely impressive that Nintendo has been able to get this vertical slice of Breath Of The Wild functioning on Wii U. It’s a hugely ambitious title and certainly beautiful to look at, its cel-shaded visuals combining perfectly with the watercolour hues, but right now it’s diffi cult to know what to expect from the fi nal release. The game lacks detail, though it’s diffi cult to know whether this is due to the four year old hardware’s noted lack of power, or a purposeful move on Nintendo’s part as a byproduct to the art style.
The Nintendo NX is still shrouded in mystery. We don’t know what’s in the box – or whether there will even be a box, for that matter – nor do we know what the controller is like or what the overall gimmick will be. Breath Of The Wild feels like a game made for the no-nonsense hardcore, so we are interested to see how it factors in the NX. Will we be simply be looking at a power upgrade for the game, with the framerate and graphics given a boost by the new hardware? Or will it have to be altered in some fashion to accommodate whatever new hardware innovation Nintendo believes it can make stick this time, not unlike the situation that occurred as Nintendo launched Twilight Princess cross GameCube and Wii?
Either way, Breath Of The Wild will likely be a stunning system seller for the NX. But perhaps most importantly – most impressively – it’s going to be an amazing swan song for the Wii U. This is a game that was announced back in 2013, planned for release in 2015, had it arrived on time it could have been the game that highlighted the promise of Nintendo’s wayward home console to developers and players alike – the adrenaline boost it desperately needed. Instead, Breath Of The Wild will simply highlight the systems failures: a console with all the potential in the world, it just lacked the so ware to prove it.
