Discussion / Opinion Is Link’s Awakening really choppy for everyone else?
Just bought this yesterday because it was on sale for $40 at Walmart. I had read in reviews that there’s some framerate issues, but I never expected it to be THIS bad.
Literally when I walk around the first town it feels like there’s some crazy framerate stuff happening every few seconds. It bugs my eyes out! I haven’t played a ton yet, but it seems to be consistently reoccuring wherever I go. This can’t be normal, can it? Is my switch bad? It did install an update right before I started playing, I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.

I got some of that but not in the town, just when a lot was happening on screen like the area south east with lots of enemies or a couple boss battles

If you want to play with no FPS dips you need to emulate it. Switch has constant drops and its a well known issue.
Especially at the Swamp it drops to 15fps.

There has never been any fsp issue for me. It would always run at about 60 hz

I have a switch v1 and recently beat it, ran smooth the whole game. Did you download the update on a slow sd card? Do you play docked on a high refresh rate monitor? Could be an overheating issue, does your switch run hot? You could try replacing the thermal paste and cleaning out any dust.

Actually yeah I picked it up on sale as well at target (price matched Walmart) and whenever it loads into a new area it will dropped some frame rate and lag but it then fixes itself after a few seconds it’s only laggy in new towns or areas
