The Legend of Zelda - Tears of the Kingdom(use spoiler tags!)

I had a quick go just for the novelty of it being leaked. I have no doubt if you enjoyed BOTW you'll enjoy this too.
 
The leak came to my attention via Eurogamer.

I did a quite google and somebody on Reddit claims that the final game will run at a locked 20fps and locked 30fps depending on what area you are exploring, is that right?

20fps!

Sounds the same as BOTW - it ran at 30fps but if there was enough going on graphically for it to dip below 30, it locked to 20 instead I think
 
Bear in mind a lot of what you'll be reading on Reddit is people running the leak on emulators - this won't necessarily be the most accurate representation of how it runs on an actual Switch

They also seem to spend more of their time tweaking settings, running benchmarks, updating drivers, checking performance etc. than actually playing games these days too :p

True.

People who 'play' games with all the MSI Afterburner OSD data showing 16 CPU core speeds, Frametimes etc baffle me.

Fair enough if you are doing a quick benchmark but why would you want that glued to the screen the whole time?

Nintendo, please release a Switch Pro!

I wonder if they are resisting it not only due to how well the Switch is still selling and how even more profitable it must be now, or because they are worried of another Wii U incident?

I think they should keep selling it and just release a Pro version that is a lot more beefy and runs the same games at higher resolution/textures and higher fps.
 
I still would not buy it to be honest. I feel a bit burned with my Switch. It soemtimes goes almost a year without it being used due to Nintendo taking too long releasing their games.

I am only interested in Nintendo exclusives and they should be hiring a lot more staff to pump out games more often. Why have we not had a new Mario Kart game out already for example? I played Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U almost 10 years ago! Wtf Nintendo?

So now my plan is to sell the Switch. Wait 5-10 years and buy whatever they have then second hand, play it and sell it on.

I don't think we'll be seeing any sort of hardware for a while - you'd expect them to coincide it with a big game release like TOTK if they were going to do it, to drive sales.

Release a Switch Pro with TOTK and show it can run twice the framerate and it'll sell ridiculous numbers.

Release a Switch Pro 6 months later and no one will buy because what's the point when you've already finished the last big release and there's not much else on the horizon? You're not going to sell consoles off the back of Pikmin 4.

Played through it recently and the framerate does have a wobble at times in the forest. It was very brief and only there. Wasn’t as bad as I remember.

I went there yesterday :p I couldn't spin the camera at times, and walking through the lost woods had trees popping in even after I was standing right next to their space for a good 5 seconds

True. Makes so sense. Maybe Mario Kart 9 and another Mario World game is due end of the year?
