Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Zelda: BotW - Digital Foundry Wii U Comparison + Frame Rate Test

The new video vindicates what I have said elsewhere after having played both versions (I pirated the Wii U version when it was leaked early, and bought the Switch version with my Switch on Friday.) The Switch version (even when docked) does not have horrible frame-rate drops very often outside of the plateau (which is literally 1% of the game, and a tutorial area.) The drops are comparable to the performance problems found in other games, if not less of a problem overall than most games. The Wii U version, on the other-hand, drops considerably more often. Since the Switch version is the one that the reviewers have played, they don't consider the drops too much in their scores, because the majority of the time the game is locked at 30 fps, and the drops are barely noticeable.
