The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Framerate the same on Wii U/Switch

GN Version 5.0

UPDATE - Jose Otero over at IGN says he made a mistake and Breath of the Wild was not confirmed to be 1080p.

Coming from an IGN interview with Eiji Aonuma...

“I think I mentioned this during E3, but the gameplay is completely the same experience on Wii U and the Nintendo Switch. The game controls for the two are pretty much identical. However, when you play in TV mode, the resolution of the screen and the sound quality go up. When I said earlier that the gameplay and game experience is the same, I meant the framerate is the same as well. The world in Breath of the Wild is all seamless. There’s a lot of processing when [the game] needs to recreate the landscape, so that’s a little bit of challenge. But while you’re playing it there’s no difference whatsoever between the two.”

Aonuma also pointed out that Breath of the Wild will have faster loading times on Switch due to cartridge read speed over disc
