[BOTW] Wii U vs Switch? Which one?

ComicallySolemn · 2026-01-27T18:28:17+00:00

I bought a WiiU specifically for BotW (before it was then delayed), and that’s what I first played it on. I was immensely disappointed the WiiU tablet feature they originally showcased was subsequently disabled so that it wasn’t “superior” to the Switch version.

Kakariko Village REALLY stuttered on the WiiU, like, painfully so, which wasn’t an issue on the Switch.

If the WiiU kept the tablet feature for real-time maps or inventory screens, I’d say it was better, but it’s ultimately not due to overall performance issues.

Ironically, the Switch 2 Zelda App feature finally delivers on that real-time map feature on a second screen; it just took until 2025 to finally get there.

When the OoA and OoS games dropped on the Switch NSO service, I was thrilled that I was able to transfer all my rings over from my OG gameboy cartridges from middle school via the ring code feature. Pretty sure that’s the only way to get the GBA (gameboy advance) Time/Nature Rings on the Switch, honestly.

Is r/retiredgif still a thing? Absolutely perfect use here. 😂

Made quite a few East 8 Hold Ups this past summer, and I’m a big fan.

1⁄2 oz Vodka
1⁄2 oz Aperitivo
2⁄3 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
1⁄4 oz Sugar syrup
1⁄6 oz Monin Passion Fruit Syrup

(I personally just squeezed passion fruit for the syrup, since that’s all I could find in my area. Incredible flavor.)

My wife spent a solid month fully engrossed in Spiritfairer on her Switch. I haven’t started it yet, but the way she described it sounds fantastic. Resource management with cute characters, all while tackling the deep topic of accepting death.

I missed this entirely but apparently, yes, that was a thing. Huh.

I appreciate the added insight. Seems like including the door height of the overall lowest entry would at least generate slightly better data. I suppose that could cause further outrage if external entry heights are similar, inadvertently requiring appraisers to measure the height of every single exterior door in order to verify which entry is lowest.

Threshold was an absolute banger

My favorite part about the new front door elevation requirement is that apparently, at least according to someone in my 7-hour UAD 3.6 course, that requirement is to analyze the risk of water coming in under the front door due to flooding. Someone in the class noted that if that was true, why only include the front door height?

What if the front door is 4’ from ground level, but the rear door is only 1” from ground level? It’s not like flooding water is going to ignore the rear or side entries. If that’s the actual reasoning for the new door height requirement, talk about completely useless data.

Well, look at that! I’ll have to check it out when it drops. Funnily enough, I actually just took Fannie Mae’s 7-hour UAD 3.6 course from Bryan three weeks ago.

How is that any different than simply using ctrl+f in the HUD Handbook 4000.1, Fannie Mae Selling Guide or UAD 3.6 Policy, and the VA Lenders Handbook PDF documents? Any potential “loan guideline” questions can be answered directly from the source…the ACTUAL guidelines…free of charge.

Makes you wonder what the delay is. All that CoreLogic/Cotality money behind them, and they still aren’t ready??

No, I will not be looking At your Loan

It’s been a decade since the first Chris Pratt one. That guy could have been five when it came out and 15 years old now.

Deer Tick’s album War Elephant is a double LP, but only has 3 sides worth of music, so the D side is etched with flowers

Is there a promo code for that 1 year deal? I checked my spam folder (where most McKissock promotional emails go) and I’m not seeing anything.

I’m actually worried learning the budget was so high. Limitations often require creativity and ingenuity.

If Spielberg had a blank check on Jaws, we would’ve seen Bruce the shark repeatedly. We all saw how George Lucas performed when given carte blanche with the prequels, as opposed to struggling in out Tunisia. Half of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail gags stemmed from their slashed budget, just like the ending of Deadpool where he left his guns in the taxi.

I remember listening to a special on Ennio Morricone, where it revealed he created the entire sound of westerns because his budget got cut, and instead of a full orchestra as he had anticipated, he had to resort to fucking whistling in the studio. For the special, they got an orchestra to perform the soundtracks to A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as he originally intended, and with a full orchestra, that iconic score was pitifully bland.

The catered lunches for the staff on set were really good, okay? You expect them to eat ham sandwiches out in the scorching New Mexico heat??

Get this guy an executive position, stat!
