Video: Nintendo Releases 60 FPS Trailers for Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 DLC

@Tsurii897

agreed! the difference is amazing! love it.

btw, Splatoon is still my most anticipated game for 2015!

thank you for realising that there is a major difference between 30fps and 60 fps. the difference between 720p and 1080p is harder to see, but nobody should argue that 30fps and 60fps are the same.

Wow. It looks so much better.

I fully expect Splatoon to gimp any social elements of the game (i.e. voice communication, a real lobby). If they don't I'll probably get it

I really wish NIntendo would make 60fps a standard for all of their games. I don't weigh heavily on rendering sizes as much as having solid 60fps

I hope the 60 fps YouTube option comes to FireFox. Chrome is the lesser browser compared to FireFox when it comes to Extension support. I use Chrome on Android, though, and the 60 fps option does work there.

Can not wait for Splatoon! Every new trailer just makes me want it more. Never been a FPS player, but that's probably because Nintendo don't do many. Last one i played all the way through was Goldeneye. Guess that says it all really.

@Sugar_Crunch_BD Maybe you don't have a 1080p screen? I can almost always notice a tangible difference in 1080p, but 60fps is different, it's like I can always tell, but I can't really tell why

60 FPS works perfectly fine in Nightly Firefox as well. Not sure about regular Firefox though. 60 FPS videos still seem kinda weird to me. I guess since we're all so used to 24 FPS for movies, it just seems unnaturally smooth.

"WHAT! There is no difference between 30fps and 60fps. I mean everyone knows that the human eye can only see 30fps, and 60fps is weird, and games are so much better at 30fps with that "cinematic feel"
-Iterating PS4/X1 fanboys who try to justify things when their games are at 30fps, after the developers failed to reach their target goal of 60fps. Ironically, when their games do hit 60fps (See LOTU: Remastered, Halo MCC), they brag about this, awesome, silky-smooth experience, in spite of the fact that prior to 7th gen, 60fps was a gaming standard.

@G0dlike
Same here the only shooter I play is BF3 (it's literally the only reason I bought a 360) and will continue to do so until there is no one online anymore. If the campaign and online will be local co-op this will be a day one buy.

@Todd102030 What do you mean by "unnaturally smooth"? Since MK8 runs at 60 fps, isn't it better to have it displayed the way the gameplay is supposed to be displayed?

I absolutely love the trailer for splatoon's campaign. It might be the first time in ages I even touch the campaign element of a 'multiplayer shooter.' It looks to be shaping up to be loads of fun. I hope it has co-op - perhaps I'm being greedy?

OK, seriously, I NEED SPLATOON NOW! Love that 60fps single player campaign gameplay so much, with the music to boot!
I'm in 60fps goodness myself too. EDGE, MK8, SM3DW with these videos...

By the way, Mario Kart 8 itself has support for uploading 60 FPS videos now apparently.

Wow Splatoon!!!

Even with the 60 FPS option turned on in Chrome, that Splatoon footage is still in 30 FPS or less except for a few instances.
Gonna try resetting my Internet connection to see if there's a connection issue.

@jariw
What I mean is, anything above 30 fps in videos still just feels weird to me. I can't really explain it. Even though I play games in 60 fps, and that feels normal, watching a video of it in 60 fps just feels different somehow. I'm sure I'll get used to it once it becomes more common.

Sadly Mario Kart TV only uploads your replays @ 30FPS.

@Chubblings

um... no, go play Mario Kart with 3 or 4 people (more than two people) and it will be running at 30 fps, then go play single player which is at 60, you'll see a pretty big difference. We also don't really see in "frame rates". Your Human eye nerves can fire at 300-1000 timers per second meaning that your brain will be able to interpret up to 1000 "frames" with your eye. However being able to actually notice differ since there is a delay and your nerves tend to send stuff more in groups, it more feels like less. However the human eye can usually see up to 150 frames per second before the frame rate just doesn't notice much of a difference, it is usually then that people only tend to actually see more frames depending on the situation such as adrenaline, or emotions or whatever. For example, pilots flying at fight speeds in dangerous situations have been know to be able to differentiate frames rates well over 200-250

They released trailers for 60 first-person shooters? (jk)

I'm not too good at telling the difference, but if I had to guess, playing the video on the Wii U Gamepad also looked a lot smoother. Can anyone back that up?

Dammit Nintendo, stop making things awesome. Now I had to pre-order Splatoon too and my wallet will probably be half empty after Black Friday.

Splatton just looks better and better. Love the music, it really reminds me of Jet Set Radio era SEGA. We need more of this Nintendo than Wii Music Nintendo and fast

@Nicolai 60FPS is double the 30FPS. Which the means you should certainly notice the difference. Try looking at some 60FPS videos or look up "30 vs 60" on Google.

If you've got a old computer, 60Hz video is not advisable. My fiance's 2010 laptop (2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo) stutters on the youtube videos.

Don't need to remind me I need to get a new laptop. 60fps translates to 1 frame every 2 seconds over here... The better the game will look for me when it comes out.

Still loving the look of Splatoon, still eagerly awaiting for it's release. I'll to put aside some money for it specifically, unlike a lot of the other games I'm wanting, this will be coming out after my Birthday.

As for Mario Kart 8, with my disappointment with Mario Kart Wii and DS gameplay, I avoided getting the more recent Mario Kart entries. I have to admit though that the inclusion of other Nintendo characters is tempting, and I'd pretty much be unable to resist getting this if Kirby was one of the DLC characters announced. Luckily, he wasn't, my wallet can be spared from even more purchases.

I was going to make a joke about nerds who care about this stuff, but now I take it all back. I'm amazed what a difference this makes.

WOW. Splatoon in 60fps makes it SUPER appealing.

I'm excited for Splatoon. I really am. But for some reason it just doesn't look like a Nintendo game to me... Maybe I'm just overthinking it but it looks like a third party title... Idk... It just doesn't have that nintendo shine yet but Im sure that that'll come within the next year since it's still in development.

Also I am interested to see the story line for it. I trust that Nintendo is doing a great job with it but does anyone else feel like it's a bit empty? Btw not hating on the game but this is what I'm just noticing.
