Saying that a movie has been "upgraded to 60 FPS" proves that you have no idea how frame rates work.
99.9% of movies are produced and rendered at 24 FPS... prior to BluRay they were traditionally converted to 30 FPS for consumer playback, but today we have the technology to display movies at proper 24 FPS. When done so properly, the playback is smooth as silk with zero judder. Unfortunately, alot of apps still convert to 60 FPS for streaming playback, which is objectively wrong.
Video games are different as the software is basically a blueprint and the GPU renders the frames "on the fly"... so a weak system will provide 30 FPS, a better system 60 FPS, and a super powerful system could provide 120 FPS correctly. This is simply not how it works with pre-rendered video content.
Converting film content to 60 FPS is just making up frames that do not exist and do not need to.
FYI... the movie is available via Amazon Prime... however, last I checked the Amazon Prime ROKU app will provide 24 FPS playback if you have your hardware settings correct, but the audio tends to be out-of-sync with Amazon when using proper 24 FPS playback.
The N64, Gamecube, and 3DS versions of Mario Golf had WAY more Mushroom Kingdom charm... I like the Switch version for its simplified mechanics, but the courses, environments, music, etc are woefully uninspired.
Bro, we're talking about some new boards, that are remakes from old games, not an additional campaign. And as an example, Mario Golf got DLC within two months of its release... so your arbitrary 6 month time limit means nothing.
Mario Kart 8D is the only Mario game I own digitally... it's great to always have it ready, and it's not like physical copies are ever going to be rare.
If you somehow don't have MK8D, this is your chance...
I fully expect some DLC for Superstars (no brainer)... I can't believe we haven't had it yet. I hope it is extensive, which would then fully make up for the terrible Super Mario Party (which I traded in for Superstars).
@andykara2003 Yes, if you are being technical, which the conversation here on NLife is not. But I edited my post for you.
I was using RGB to help eliminate some people's confusion with composite... the component cables are literally coded with Red, Green, and Blue connectors. Which is pretty annoying since the green and blue can look very similar when working behind a TV!
@Dirty0814 Pretty sure some Gamecube games support 480p... not too many, but there is a prompt during boot up if you are using component cables that asks if you want to output 480p and lets you know that your TV may not support progressive signal input.
Also, pretty sure the resolution lines and color information output is still better than the a/v composite when running Gamecube games with proper component output, despite not using the sync signal for progressive scan... should be at least as good as the S-Video output.

I still love the WiiU.
Re: "Hard-As-Nails" Platformer RITE Is Jumping Onto Switch Soon
I understand that pretty much all art is inspired by something else...
But I am disappointed to see just how much this game resembles Celeste... and the music really tips the scales from inspiration to copycat.

Re: Soapbox: Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie Is Still One Of The Greatest Adaptations Ever
@AG_Awesome I do not... it is rated 13+ and is 1 hour 41 minutes... if that helps.

This would be a great October game.
Re: Footage Of Cancelled 'Epic Mickey' Spin-Off Starring Donald Duck Discovered
Should be Donald fighting his dastardly nephews... they were jerks back in the 1940's.
Also... I remember trying Epic Mickey and it was very slow and gloomy.
Re: Backlog Club: Return Of The Obra Dinn - It All Comes Down To Socks In The End
I played this over an entire Thanksgiving weekend with my brother-in-law. It was a fantastic experience.
I don't recall identifying anyone by their socks...
This would make a great game for a group of people to play on "game nights" as long as everyone is into it.

Re: Random: Meet TinyTendo, The Handheld Console Made For NES, By NES
If only it took tiny cartridges that look like NES carts.
I always hoped that the Switch carts would be made to look like NES carts.

Re: Meet The Switch Controller That Promises 'No Drifting, Ever'
The problem with the Pro controller is the false inputs on the D-pad... I have never really heard of drift being an issue.
Seems like a marketing gimmick to me.

I had no idea this was on Switch... not sure how I missed it.
Re: Best Star Fox Games Of All Time
64 and 64 3D being two different entries is weird... even weirder is that 3D is better.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Star Fox Game?
@Leuke Are you confusing Assault with Adventures? It's easy to do...
I feel like very few people played Assault and it seems like it was quite rare.
The 3DS remake of Star Fox 64 is great... one of the reasons I keep my 3DS around.
Re: Feature: 23 Best Wii U eShop Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
@Nontendo_4DS
I was actually unaware that Abyss was ported to Switch, and I never played it co-op on Wii U either.
My guess would be split-screen on the Switch... for $2.99 it's worth a gamble.
If you like Gamepad co-op, make sure you check out Affordable Space Adventures on WiiU if you haven't already.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At The Switch Online Version Of Mario Golf, Plus A Comparison Video

Re: Talking Point: Which Other 'Old' Switch Games Would You Like To See Get New DLC?
Mario Golf could use it... and get rid of the Par 3 courses that they gave us.

Re: Random: "Nobody Batted An Eye" At Waluigi's 'Crotch Chop' In Super Mario Strikers

Re: You'll Have To Pay To See Baby Yoda In LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
I am somewhat on the fence about whether or not I am interested in playing this... never been into the Lego games, but this one seems different.
This information regarding potential piles of DLC and micro-transactions makes me MUCH less interested.
I am fully aware that I can simply "just not buy" the DLC, and I won't, but it's existence makes it not my style of game, in general.
Re: Rumour: Mario Party Superstars DLC May Be On The Way
I fully expect some DLC for Superstars (no brainer)... I can't believe we haven't had it yet. I hope it is extensive, which would then fully make up for the terrible Super Mario Party (which I traded in for Superstars).
Ultimately, I just want to see Windmillville.
