Support NeoGAF

[The Boat]

We already knew this, if my eyes didn't deceive me the demo was already like that.

 

[Tnetennba]

Was a bit anxious that some puzzles would heavily rely on the 3D, even though that's unrealistic and would probably never happen, so it's nice to get confirmation to the contrary. 60fps is wonderful news as well!

 

[Currygan]

brilliant news!

 

[Izick]

Considering how bland, and poor it looks, running at 60fps doesn't seem much of a challenge.

I think it looks nice. I like how they kind of merged the super old-schoo Zelda art-style with the traditional 3D Mario aesthetic. Gives it a nice weighty look.

 

[Tunavi]

I think he means the art direction, not the quality.

Yup.

 

[Busaiku]

I'll be sure to get it.

 

[MisterHero]

Is this the first Zelda above 30fps?

 

[Throwaway123456789]

I know, but it's still pushing 120fps to get 60 for each eye. I think it's awesome. I'd love to see more games with a focus on framerate over tech, especially on the 3DS where you could get away with it.

Yeah no. That's not how it works.

 

[serplux]

Is this the first Zelda above 30fps?

I'm fairly certain all the 2D Zeldas have been 60fps.

 

[Why would you do that?]

LttP 2 looks like a really fast game, so the 60 FPS here sounds pretty great. I think it's a first for Zelda (besides the 2D titles).

It's really weird how fast the game looks, but it is part of why I'm looking forward to it.

 

[MisterHero]

I'm fairly certain all the 2D Zeldas have been 60fps.

Ah. I was fairly certain Four Swords Adventures was 60.

This might still be a milestone for 3D Zeldas though.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Shall we consider this a proper 3D zelda?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Well, it looks like shit, so 60fps was expected.

 

[dark10x]

Ah. I was fairly certain Four Swords Adventures was 60.

This might still be a milestone for 3D Zeldas though.

Most 2D Zelda games (aside from the very first one and those shitty CDi games) run at 60 fps including Four Swords Adventures.

This would be the first 3D Zelda game to run at 60 fps, however.

 

[batman2million]

Now if Nintendo would get some of this good news to the WiiU, we'd all be really happy.

 

[beta_fuse]

This is awesome news! I had a feeling it was going to happen but I love me some confirmation.

 

[Edwards_Omatic]

 

[drspeedy]

heh.

Spoiler

and sadly true

 

[matmanx1]

Awesome news. It will be glorious!

 

[AstroZombie]

So Nintendo is giving priority to 60FPS in 3D mode for 3DS games?

Either way, a Zelda game at 60FPS is gonna be niiiiiice.

Is this the first Zelda above 30fps?

Nope, Zelda 1 & 2 on NES, LTTP on SNES, Link's Awakening, Seasons and Ages, all 60FPS.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Zelda: Late to the Party

I kid you not on my first browses of neogaf I thought Late to the Party was Link to the past, as they were talking about a past game and thought it was an injoke or something from the forums (english is my second language and this was my second english forum after the Roller Coaster Tycoon official ones, so I didnt quite grasp some of the abbreviations).

 

[Synless]

Mario Kart 7 is 60fps 3D. Im sure there are other examples.

Tekken.

 

[Namerson23]

60FPS?! My hype meter just exploded

 

[timmaysmittay]

Cant wait to play this even more now, 60fps will do wonders for the 3D.

 

[Cave Johnson]

Mario Kart 7 is 60fps 3D. Im sure there are other examples.

See, this is what I don't get. The Vita clearly being more powerful have had their recent cart racing games at half the framerate. As well as wipeout and the Motorstorm RC cars.... seriously.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

thank you based TRIFORCE.

 

[Ein Bear]

I'm fairly certain all the 2D Zeldas have been 60fps.

What does Wind Waker run at? It's always felt much smoother than the other 3D Zeldas to me, though that might just be down to how well animated it is.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

You're the one guy at a party that poops in the dip aren't you.

 

[bennyc12]

LttP: Revengeance gets better every time news breaks about it.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Guys Im pretty fucking sure that Skyward Sword and Windwaker run at 60fps. The n64 Zeldas were the only ones with a bad framerate.

 

[Rich!]

What does Wind Waker run at? It's always felt much smoother than the other 3D Zeldas to me, though that might just be down to how well animated it is.

30fps with occasional drops, as shown by Dolphin and fraps.

Ocarina and Majora on the n64 run anywhere between 14-20fps depending on circumstance. So compared to them, Wind Waker is smooth as silk.

 

[TheContact]

I hope it still captures the magic of the first game

 

[Synless]

Skyward sword is 30fps, and I'm not sure about WW it has been too many years since I have played it, but I believe it was 30 as well.

 

[RagnarokX]

Well, it looks like shit, so 60fps was expected.

Game looks great, like ALttP in 3D.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Not understanding the hate the game's art style is getting.

Still, good news here.

 

[Yes Boss!]

As someone who's not using 3D, I prefer games that are taxing the hardware and are only 60fps in 3D mode. I don't give a shit how fluid it runs in 3D, so, bad news for me.

Oh well, bad news for you.

 

[IcyRhythms]

excellent news

 

[Cutebrute]

"The Legend of Zelda: A New Link to the Past?"

That wouldn't surprise me, given Nintendo's strange naming decisions these days.

On topic, Mario Kart is one of the few games that I prefer to play in 3d, so the 60fps here will be welcome.

 

[PowderedToast]

warf doesn't give a shit

 

[Bullza2o]

I already got this game preordered and practically paid off on Amazon. Cannot wait!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Did anybody else think LttP2 looked really...fast?

Like I'm still not big on the artstyle and 3D is meh, but I'm digging just how fast-paced it seemed to be.

 

[ASTROID2]

But I thought Mario Kart 7 ran at 60fps with 3D on..?

It does.
Why do people always have to hate Zelda games art styles. It's like a curse or something.

 

[Ein Bear]

30fps with occasional drops, as shown by Dolphin and fraps.

Ocarina and Majora on the n64 run anywhere between 14-20fps depending on circumstance. So compared to them, Wind Waker is smooth as silk.

Ah cool, yeah it's probably a combination of the artstyle and my usually playing it straight after the N64 games that does it then.

The feel of 60fps

 

[Why would you do that?]

Yes. It was also noted in various previews how fast it was.

 

[BigDug13]

Nope, Zelda 1 & 2 on NES, LTTP on SNES, Link's Awakening, Seasons and Ages, all 60FPS.

60 frames but painted interlaced on your TV, so you're really only getting 30 frames of odd numbered horizontal lines and 30 frames of even numbered horizontal lines for a total of 60 fps. At least for NES/SNES. Not sure about the GBC stuff.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

Visiually, the game looks like shit so it's hardly surprising. This is coming from a massive Zelda fanboy.

As if your status as a Zelda fan somehow strengthens or weakens your criticism of it's visuals? Criticism of visuals and being a Zelda fanboy is practically a package.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 2: We Need To Go Paster

 

[Sweet Aunt Nancys Panties]

As one of 5 guys that loved the DS Zeldas, I can't wait for this. 2013 has been an amazing year for the 3DS and it's only getting better.

Can you even really be a 'Zelda Fanboy' on gaming forum? Pretty much everyone loves themselves some Zelda.
