Nintendo Switch running Breath of The Wild on Jimmy Fallon
- Thread starter Mihael Mello Keehl
- Start date
there's a 60fps capture on the last page
but I was misled by some codec magic
game looks like it's 30fps false alarm

At best it had a variable frame rate, but it's not 60 FPS. My guess is it's 30.
The actual game is running at 30fps there, yo.

They've literally been saying this since the first reveal of this Zelda. It was the whole dev point of the game.
Also that poor Bungie employee has been quoted out of context for ages now :lol

Wow wasn't expecting them to show the Switch at all again until January, especially with Zelda. Was nice to see

Hugely disagree.
They did show off the main gimmick of the console. Anyone watching could see that the Switch reveal trailer wasn't bullshit, and that it really is seamless to take your games off the big screen and put them on the mobile screen. This takes literally two seconds to show and doesn't need to be talked about with any depth on a late night talk show.
Instead, Switch gets to focus on cool game content. And that'a exactly what Nintendo needs to be relevant in the current age when there are so many game options to choose.
Just for the sake of completeness, here's a frame by frame capture of the boulder part (sorry for the mouse cursor! 
):

There is some blending between frames, so it may SEEM like unique rendered frames, but pay attention to the movement in Link's legs.

I'd hope that someone who gave up a date with Nicole Kidman to play video games would know his stuff.
Hmm, you may be right, at least in parts. During the part at the beginning of the demo, when Reggie was panning the camera, went through frame by frame and each frame was unique.
I'll double check the part with the explosion and report back.
Edit: Yeah the explosion caused some slow down. Got a double exposure every second frame, suggesting around 45fps.
Edit 2: Or maybe on second thought it's all just 30fps. Hard to tell with my inadequate tools. Will wait for direct feed.
Yeah I'm expecting a very solid 30fps on Switch, and average 20-25fps on Wii U.
I would never have expected 60fps, even on Switch.
With the new Nvidia chip I'd expect the lighting could be made to be better, the effects ramped up and texture resolution to be improved. These are things Nintendo would be more willing to invest in, than 60fps.
BTW, Ocarina of Time on Nintendo 64 was about 20 frames per second in 1998.
The 3DS remake upped that to 30fps.

Game is 30fps there, but it does at least seem consistent!

The game is 30fps, if you count the frames on the 60fps video you can see it repeats every other frame whilst Jimmy and Reggie have unique frames.

Huge missed opportunity to not start with showing off the nes classic. I swear Nintendo just does some stuff flawlessly, and then completely fumbles the next.
Since we have a release date confirmed for Switch, does that mean pre-orders have begun?

This was great to watch.
I've taken the 12th and 13th off just for this.
In 2012, Wii U preorders opened as soon as the info event closed. If this time is anything like last time, stores will start taking preorders soon after this event is over.
I just wish Nintendo would tell us what time the event is here in the US. If it's too late on the 12th, we could see preordering open at the start of business on the 13th.

It looked like 30 fps, but at least it was consistent. I expect some small improvements like a consistent 30 fps, better draw distance and resolution. Nothing out of this world. The game already looks and feels great.
Wait what? The NES Classic is already out, why would they focus a most likely multi-million dollar TV spot on it when they've got a massive mobile game and a brand new console coming out?

Framerate comparison between Wii U and Switch versions.
Possibly an unfair comparison, but there's a pretty noticeable difference.

Brilliant showing from Nintendo, such an improvement from the WiiU days. I never expected 60fps for Zelda on Switch, as long as it's 1080p on a home HDTV with a solid 30fps I'll take the WiiU visuals.
When Miyamoto shows up, you know he's going to drop some bomb.

Thats actually what im going to do. Even then, ive been using my power charge during trips so I can make photos with my phone without being afraid of the battery and its been amazing, suoer happy im going to be able to ise ut with the switch also.
Seems pokemon go did soemthing right at the end.
Still can't believe it's running on a handheld.

I was genuinely surprised to see how genuine Fallon's excitement was! Reggie had his planned PR statements ready, and Jimmy was asking questions about detaching the controllers and the kickstand. It reminded me of conventions where someone wants to give a guided demo on a game you've already seen.
Reggie - "Now you can see these enemies over here, let's go fight them"
Fallon - "THIS IS HOW I SURF ON MY SHIELD RIGHT?"
Reggie - "The main draw of the Switch is playing it anywhere"
Fallon - "WHERE THE KICKSTAND? I CAN DETACH THESE CONTROLLERS AND PLAY TWO PLAYER"
CLUE:
Reggie strategically kept attention away from the dock ... immediately addressing that everything for basic play is in the handheld, exactly the kinda thing you'd do if there's something more in the dock but want to keep it as a surpirse reveal for later.
HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

Yeah it looks like he had to remember to dodge that one so as far as I'm concerned there is definitely something in the dock
