That’s very dependent on the game.
Playing a racing game at 30fps is horrible. Playing Mario games 30fps. Is fine.
- fishtacos 5y agoSNES platformers ran at 60 fps in almost every game, and definitely every Mario game, SM64 was the sole exception. SMO was also 60 fps. There is no category of games that would not improve in playability from 30 to 60 fps. Not trying to be argumentative here. As mentioned upthread, I own 2 Switch consoles and the difference between 30 and 60 fps when running the same or similar games are stark. Perhaps i'm more sensitive than others.

- philliphaydon 5y agoIt’s just slower moving games it’s less noticeable. I have 2 switches and I really can’t pick up Xbox or PS anymore. Except my dying wait for elden ring. But yeah. I think minimum 60fps but depending on the game 30 is fine especially if it’s super fun.

- glandium 5y agoMy favorite racing game ever is Wipeout 2097 on the PlayStation. Needless to say, it didn't run at more than 30fps (in fact, since I was in France, it was probably even 25fps). Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 2 was also fine at 25/30fps.
