Which is saying something cause BotW's performance is pretty poor compared to the Wii U port lol
Real talk I'm so glad I've never had to ship anything on Switch
a large percentage of my day job is doing exactly this. the best and most fun fact is that docked mode sometimes runs worse because while you get double the GPU performance, the screen res has 2.5x more pixels, so any post processing effects you have are Just Worse. that's part of why BotW runs best in handheld. TRCs/lotcheck also a pain
