Right but that's the only resolution number we were given. So when someone says the game is sub HD when the only number we have is not sub HD I feel the need to correct them.

Eh, he specified portable. I realize that poster has a history of posts like that but sub-HD will likely be the case here.
Oh I assumed he referred to "portable" just to specify that it's a portable machine, I didn't even think he meant it would be that case in portable mode. It's hard to not be sub-HD in portable mode when the maximum resolution the screen can display is the lowest possible HD resolution there is.
It's Rik Mayall and the man is a legend. Created the comedy changing "The young ones" and "Bottom". Also wrote the craziest autobiography you will ever read entitled "Bigger than Hitler. Better than Christ".
Not gonna lie, I'm willing to make an avatar bet that the final game will run at a buttery smooth 60 fps at all times, give or take slight dips or a FPS lag glitch ala MK8 on Wii U. I cannot imagine the creators of this game targeting 60 fps for dungeons only, and 30 fps for the hub world. That's craziness to me.
People never learn, do they?
It isn't like Nintendo has showed with their Switch software, constantly, that the polish comes in the final months of development.
This is an old build for E3. The game releases in september, it will be a locked 60 fps by then.

The game and all of the puzzles were designed for 8 directional movement. Implementing fully analog movement could easily break some of the puzzles in the game.
I think the important thing is that they make Link actually turn, rather than instantly swap direction with no transition frames. That's what looks jarring and a little sloppy (I wonder if they did it this way to sort of imitate stop-motion animation?!), but for the actual number of directions you can walk in, I think 8 is fine.
No, they were not. Don't argue framerate when you can't discern framerate.
Such minor framerate issues are exactly what gets fixed in the last few months of game development.
Exactly. And people seem to forget that these builds they show at E3 are months old. From what we saw at E3 they have more than just a few months to fix it.
I'm very hopefully they can fix it but I wouldn't say these are minor. The entire overworld is mostly 30fps. I expect they have a lot of work cut out for them. I have faith, though.
I would assume they did it for responsiveness. And perhaps really quick turning animations looked more unnatural than not having any.
I kinda hate you for pointing this out, because I hadn't noticed before... :-P
Then why not allow preorder? You can pretty much preorder all other major games, and it's even listed on the voucher redeem list.
Nintendo only puts there games up for preload and preorder on the shop when they are finished, which makes the wait for astral chain seem really bad because that means they are sitting on the finished game for a little over a month now.
I'd be blown away if Nintendo included the original game as an Easter Egg on this release.
As for the DF review, loved the attention to detail and must say the music is what blew me away. Sounds beautiful. I have faith Nintendo will have this games performance running smooth upon release, as was done with Yoshi and pointed out by the DF team.
Great video and can't wait for the release!

Nintendo is weird like that you could not preorder FE till 3 weeks prior to release i wish you could put it in soon as it was up as well
nintendo puts there games up for preload at the same time they put up the preorder so they dont let you preorder till they upload the full game to the eshop.
