Smash 3DS Smash for 3ds running at 60 Frames per Second

[Lozjam]

Sakurai has stated that this game will be run at 60 FPS, and the most fluid Smash Yet, accounting to be ripe for Competitive play. and I can not be more excited. What are your thoughts?

Already looking forward to seeing the 3DS version get much more love. Bring it on!

Great timing on this, NeoGAF had a few posts debating the framerate based on the limited E3 footage. No more 2nd guessing on performance!

Crazy considering games like DOA: Dimensions didn't run at 60 FPS with 3D on at all.

This pretty awesome to hear. I wonder how Pokemon/AT runs at 30fps while characters run at 60 tho.

awesome because I always found wifi battling to be laggy in brawl.

The game running at 60 FPS has nothing to do with WiFi play. It just means that the screen updates 60 times per second. Brawl ran at 60 FPS as well.

That's cool, I guess?!?!?!?!

I'm VERY excited! I'm not quite familiar with the hardware limitations of the 3DS, as I just recently got one (in anticipation of the upcoming smash), but the understanding I had about them had me worried about how fluid the handheld game was going to be. I'm pleasantly surprised, to say the least.

It's really just as simple as the ATs/ Pokémon having 30 frames of animation, while the characters have double the rate of animation. The game overall is still running at 60FPS, the ATs/Pokémon just have less frames to their animation.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

The smoother the smash, the more the magnificent the terrific title will wind up.

Dat alliteration tho.

I'm surprised people aren't more hyped for this.

Does anyone know what FPS Kid Icarus: Uprising ran at?

 

[DaDavid]

This was definitely one of my favorite bits of news from the Direct. I imagine 3D will make the characters much easier to see, so knowing it'll run at 60fps even with it on is awesome.

 

[Azorax]

I hope this game will entice me to turn 3D on. Might make everything all the more worthwhile.

Honestly, I wasn't too hype because I expected it; anything less would have been a deal-breaker.

30 FPS.

The 3DS games that run at 60 FPS with 3D on are Tekken 3D, Mario Kart 7, A Link Between Worlds, and now this (without taking Assist Trophies into account).

I think if nothing else it'll make the characters stand out more, so I imagine it'll be well worth it for this game.

Turning on 3D also very slightly adjusts the sharpness of the image. It's small detail but I would assume some will appreciate it for smash.

It kinda is ridiculous for a game this day and age to not run in 60+ FPS. Glad to see Nintendo is on the ball with their tech.

 

[Zero Suit Wario]

Yeah, having <60 for smash would be inexcusable

It's just good that they assured us.

 

[Jade_Rock55]

Wait so even with 3d on it's 60fps?Sucks I got a 2ds.

 

[FreeFallUp]

60 fps, THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY.

But, seriously, I expected nothing less at this point. Awesome to have it confirmed this early nonetheless.
