25.11.2023I,…. don't blame them to be doing hogsmeade the way they did
the deck STRUGGLES HARD in this area

25.11.2023It's impressive that they got the port to switch in itself. Hogwarts legacy is effectively playable on mobile phones now. But this only shows that games which aren't designed with stylised graphics in mind have no place on switch.

25.11.2023From the last Switch releases I'd say that delaying launching is always the best decision. It runs very decently. I hope they keep improving the game thus. Also I'm curious if loadings are different from physical cartridge, and running from SD or internal memory
Nothingness
25.11.2023Cool no real bad impact as feared for the port, glad they delayed it instead of spit it out just to get it out. Good to know that its mostly a feeling of mostly same the loading is not something you wont think of if you havent played it on pc. Nice and spoiler free(yeah have up to this day not spoiled the game for me)

25.11.2023now imagine a "switch 2"!
Well, probably won't be a Switch 2, but something entirely different and innovative like Nintendo always had done

25.11.2023Great review! Also as expected it looks like shit

25.11.2023i don't think a lot of people realise how massively underpowered the switch is – it was a mid-generation minor update to the WiiU, which itself was mostly a Wii with HD capabilities. Given that this game struggled to run on even high-end PCs at launch, it is amazing they have managed to cram it into what is effectively fifteen-year old hardware. That being said its a shame the extent they had to downscale because this game on PC is really gorgeous at times, at from what I can see here most of that is lost.
It really makes you appreciate how much work went into tears of the kingdom, that game running on the switch and looking as good as it does is a genuine miracle.

25.11.2023I'd say it is a huge achievement. If I was handed this switch version when I was 10, I would think this is actual magic happening. Props to the devs!

25.11.2023Nice Video And Info, Hopefully They Add The Turn Your Broom Into A Dragon Mod Just Like They Added All The Mods To ARK 🙂

25.11.2023Looks like a bad version, i get it on ps5 instead
Lost Spectre
23.11.2023Looks better than mk1 Lmao
Boo Banana!
23.11.2023I love these impossible ports. Would never play it like this, but I love seeing something like this being achieved. Too bad WB didn’t put the same amount of effort into the MK1 port.

23.11.2023Should I pick up Hogwarts Legacy for the Switch?
ElectroGGs
23.11.2023looks like older hp games…. but considering it is running on a smart fridge, it is mind-blowingly good 🔥🔥🔥🔥

23.11.2023I believe is good for People that have only the Switch to play games and really want to play this game, but if you have any other way to play it does not make sense to get the switch version. Looks really bad.

23.11.2023The fact it’s not a complete honkin pile of doo doo and works is a testament to the porting team

23.11.2023Bully?
Maxx Oblivion
21.11.2023I’m so glad they focused on current gen release and then took time for past gen afterward
Matthew Rojas
21.11.2023your character looks like Jimmy Hopkins from bully.
not a HP fan but I'm planning to get this one coz i get the feeling of fable vibes and scratch my itchiness from playing bully. i love those two games.
CozyMamaPlayz
21.11.2023I'm so happy I canceled my Preorder. Ty for this video.
FroZenNinja
21.11.2023Thanks for the review! Pretty amazing to see such a massive game running on Switch at all. For a handheld version, I don't even think the trade offs listed here are all that bad.
H2
21.11.2023Looks like a Bully total conversion mod
Jeff Green
21.11.2023So… it looks pretty playable. Is it perfect? No. As good as other platforms? No. Do I have anything to get it on for my kids? No. So, is it playable and worth getting knowing that? Looks like it, actually!
Count Bleck's Plan
21.11.2023As a Switch-game in general, doesn't this look very good?
Always liked Avalanche, since Just Cause on Xbox 360.
Happy Everyday, Everyday Okay!
21.11.2023As usual, it looks ugly on switch! Come on, Nintendo, it's time to upgrade the switch. You're way behind the game. Especially with a wide variety of portable gaming PC on the market. Be sure not to make mistakes again on the next gen Switch, just like what you did on WII U!
Nicolas Almazan
21.11.2023I'm glad Nintendo brought PS1 games to their console… It was about time…
Jake Henderson
21.11.2023“You’ll never get this game running on the switch”
Devs: Hold my butterbeer
Zorro21
18.11.2023I know its a handheld console so my respect, but it looks exactly like the order of phoenix game on PC from 2007 😂 if you dont believe me just google it haha
Sonic Telephone
18.11.2023Impressive this runs playable on switch at all, but Nintendo really needs a new console now. The Switch is well past its sell by date and it's at its absolute limit 😐
BroncoBully
18.11.2023After playing games on literally anything and then going back to the switch, it is so painful in 2023. People always praise it cause things can run. But GD everything looks so low res with inconsistent frame rates.
Javier Gonzalez
18.11.2023I have it for ps5 but i wouldnt mind getting it on a deep sale for my switch. Its a really good game
fatbiscuit
18.11.2023It's ugly. Biased review.
TheRavenArchon
18.11.2023Just wanted to point out seamless and open world are not the same things. Open has to do with the content, not the tech. Skyrim is open world and it also has load zones for every city and building. It would have been nice if the game could have been seamless, but saying it's not open world anymore feels misleading. It made it sound like content had actually been cut from the game. Like they took the free roam out or something.
James Warzyniak
18.11.2023Ive never liked Harry Potter as games. But loading between shop entry? I think the Switch Version looks fine, but in all Honesty it looks like a 7th gen game title. More over so, the loading times would make this so not worth it.
Ive been playing Remnant recently on the Switch Lite & loading times are brutal.
The Switch deserves more games that are 3RD party.
Alot of people assume “oh its just kids”.
No its not 78% of switch users are over 18.
I want to see Conduit come to Switch!

18.11.2023Next up: Alan Wake 2 switch port 😂
Riskiest_Biscuit
18.11.2023Does the switch version have the arachnophobia mode like the console versions?
theMeshtar
18.11.2023I put it on my wishlist, but I don't think I'll ever get it 😅
Trash Boat
17.11.2023They really just turned it into a early gen 7 game
Pablo Moreno
17.11.2023Gotta say this is def impressive. Almost makes it unacceptable to just drop a cloud version of a game as a cop out now. Gotta say this reminds of a modern day Bully from rockstar tho lol
colonelcrispyrice432
17.11.2023I enjoyed Pokemon Violet/Scarlet despite numerous performance issues. I’m positive I can enjoy this, especially if it performs as well as Witcher 3 or better
JoostPTM
17.11.2023My girlfriend is very happy to play this on her Switch Lite, she doesnt really care about graphics! I played it on the PS5 and it was amazing.
conker3425
17.11.2023Can’t change the camera angle to centre the character. Hard pass until if and when it’s patched in 👎
cornelius van boven
17.11.2023The team who did the Port give them a raise this is an amazing port i have it both ok n switch and pc and i gotta say i do t have a problem with the cutbacks its a portable Hogwarts game so i love it
DrippyCorpz
17.11.2023Omg, that's really ugly and muddy. 🤮 60 bucks are too much for this port.
Jota Ferreira
17.11.2023That's really an impressive port
Gil Bouhanna
17.11.2023No way im paying an aaa game price on this switch version.. honestly i play only the nintendo exclusives there, somebody got to do something with the poor af hardware of the switch.. thats terrible, its 2023 not 2010
