Thumper on Switch – PS4 comparison + docked / portable frame rate test
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 4 Comments
Digital Foundry has taken an in-depth look at the newly-released Switch game Thumper.
On Switch, it runs at a full 1080p docked and 720p handheld resolution as promised. It also maintains a steady 60 frames per second. Thumper may have lost some effects from the PlayStation 4 version, but many will likely be unaware that they’re missing in the first place. Digital Foundry also has high praise for the anti-aliasing used on Switch and the port overall.
Have a look at the full analysis below.

Digital Foundry has a new comparison video up for LEGO City Undercover. We’re able to get a better look as to how the Switch version compares to the PlayStation 4 and original Wii U releases.
If you’re looking at how LEGO City Undercover has changed since the four years it came to Wii U, the game now features a redone lighting system along with upgrades to the effects pipeline, the quality of the shaders, the detail in the core art assets and normal maps, and more.

Video: LEGO City Undercover Switch vs. Wii U loading times comparison

Nintendo World Report has a new comparison up showing how the loading times in LEGO City Undercover differ on Switch and Wii U. It’s quicker on Switch for sure, but perhaps not as much as originally expected.
You can watch the preliminary comparison below. If a patch comes out next week, it could improve loading further – but it’s unclear if that will actually happen.
Another Snake Pass Switch vs. PS4 comparison + frame rate test
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch eShop, Videos | 35 Comments
Following up on the Snake Pass Switch vs. PS4 comparison posted last night, the folks over at Digital Foundry have come out with their own analysis of the two versions. Switch manages to stack up pretty well on the whole.
On Switch, a few graphical effects are missing and the game runs at a native 1200×675 resolution while docked (in comparison to the PS4’s 1536×864). Both versions are locked at 30 FPS. Unfortunately, the Switch release has some frame-pacing issues, but it’s nothing overly major and could be addressed in a future patch.
Here’s the full analysis from Digital Foundry:

Digital Foundry published a new video today that compares the loading times on Switch. Zelda: Breath of the Wild was the test subject here. A cartridge, two types of microSD cards, and internal storage were used.
In all cases, it was the internal storage that came out on top. microSD was next, followed by the cartridge.
The results of Digital Foundry’s tests are below:
