I Wish Nintendo's New Switch 2 Zelda Game Was an Actual Zelda Game
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment runs at a stable 60fps on Nintendo Switch 2, showcasing improved hardware and multiplayer performance over its predecessor, Age of Calamity.
- On Nov. 6, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment launches as a Switch 2 first-party title, with reviewers saying it passes the tech test and validates the console's June hardware improvements.
- Before the console's reveal, critics warned Nintendo faced hardware lag behind competitors, making key games essential to prove the Nintendo Switch 2's upgrade after its June release and six-month anniversary.
- Testing shows the Nintendo Switch 2 delivers smoother framerates, sustaining 60 frames per second versus 30 frames per second on the original Nintendo Switch, though local splitscreen co-op can reduce performance toward 30 fps in heavy encounters.
- As a result, reviewers note Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment show the Nintendo Switch 2 delivering on tech promises as sales pass 10,000,000.
- Reviewers also flagged frequent pop-in and weak friendly and enemy AI, criticized roster composition with 90% new or unnamed characters, and noted visual compromises between OLED vs LCD displays for players and fans of the genre.
