Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Frame Rate Is "Even Worse" Than Link's Awakening

ButterySmooth30FPS

Digital Foundry is a game technology review site, not a gameplay site. Some people are interested in/care about the technology.

And the narrative that 60fps is some modern innovation couldn't be more wrong. Plenty of SNES, Genesis, and earlier platform games ran at full speed (determined by TV technology). 7th Gen is where we see the most frame-limited games because graphical tech became extremely heavy relative to the consoles' power. Plenty of games run smooth on Switch, but a lot don't. People being disappointed that a first-party 2.5D game has performance issues is not bad. The attitude of "It's Nintendo, just shut up and buy!" is why games aren't usually patched.

But hey, cars didn't have seatbelts or airbags at one point and people were fine, so why should they bother now?!
