Is BOTW the 1st big N game with janky framerate in the past decade?

Is Zelda: BOTW the 1st big Nintendo game with janky framerate in the past decade?

I haven't owned any Nintendo games/consoles since GBA but always hear how Nintendo prioritizes "smooth performance" in their recent titles.

Hyrule Legends had a bad framerate, not developed by Nintendo, but a big game using the IP.

The 3ds version esp (on older models) sometimes dips under 20fps.

I believe even the Ps2 ran Dynasty Warrior games at 60fps.

Oh. BOTW is in house Nintendo right? If third party then I guess the janky nature isn't that bad but if it's Nintendo first party.. does that mean they're not that good? It looks pretty barren and seem lower poly than a typical assassin creed game from the past few years but not even stable?

Maybe the AI is super genius and that's where the processing power is going?

I saw some gameplay where the blonde main guy throws axe on the grass and there were frame hiccups and only 1 enemy on the screen. Perhaps bad capture?

It's Zelda so critics will be incredibly bias. It's pretty much a guarantee IGN will give it a 10 and call it a redefining game that save humanity.

The bias (if there is any) would only come because the games have been consistently good-to-great.

Yeah, if a game gets a good review it must be bias.

If remember correctly, The Orange Box on the PS3 had some minor frame-issues, yet was severally reprimanded.

Yet here we are, heaven on earth.

But the Orange Box is better than BOTW and that didn't get a 10. Even though Portal alone was better.

Definitely bias, no question. Brand name effecting reviews rather than reality.

@uninspiredcup: I highly doubt Orange Box is better than BotW. Zelda is life.
