The difference between 30fps and 60fps is enormous.

Going from the 30fps of the Plaza to the 60fps of actual gameplay in Splatoon is like going from slogging through ankle-deep treacle to running unhindered. Same for switching from the 30fps of Trine 1/2 to the 60fps of Mario 3D World or New Super Mario Bros U.

30fps is playable, and in fact, some of my favourite games are 30fps, but the benefits of 60fps, especially to shooters and platformers, are immense.
