"Bananza targets 60 frames per second, but it's not quite consistent - especially on the map view, where performance ping-pongs rapidly between 30fps and 60fps: classic double-buffer v-sync. Also, there seem to be different frame-rates in gameplay. The target is 60fps, but there are noticeable drops."
Good thing I don't care about framerate as long as it's not too low. 30fps? I don't care.
Great article! I agree with you. But there is a balance, and some games need fall damage. Kinda silly that Link can beat Ganon, an incarnation of pure evil, with a stick, but will die from a 20-foot fall.
@beartown Me neither. I got so frustrated with getting hit by blue shells at the last second and getting like 4th because of it, that I normally play with blue shells turned off.

Re: Poll: GameStop Offers A Tempting Switch 2 Trade-In Deal, But Is It Really Worth It?
Honestly, after like 6-8 yrs of play(for a lot of us), who's going to have a mint condition switch OG? I'll just not get Metroid Prime Remastered.

Oh, no. I would be very angry if it didn't have better graphics. I just don't care bout framerate as much as resolution.

So sad it's not official..
Re: Mailbox: Switch 2 Price Drops, Remake Replacements, Pokémon Acquisitions - Nintendo Life Letters
My reasoning? It's open world. Open world game = my money in Nintendo's pockets.
Re: Mailbox: Switch 2 Price Drops, Remake Replacements, Pokémon Acquisitions - Nintendo Life Letters
@zaneplay64
ME NEITHER! Like, I get it, $80 is a lot of cash, but I think for MKW it's worth it.

Re: Walmart Joins GameStop With Higher amiibo Price Listings For Switch 2 (US)
I have never bought an amiibo and likely never will, at least not at that price. I'd rather spend my money on games.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th April)
I'm just playing a lot of MK8D, even though i hate it. For preparing purposes.
Also, something for you to fix, I could've replied "Mario Kart World"

Re: MicroSD Express Cards Are Selling Out Thanks To Switch 2 Fever

Re: You'll Want To Learn These New Mario Kart World Tricks If You Hope To Win
@link3710
Yeah but I just dont see why you would ever willingly fall back to 24th to do a cool trick. But your point is that it's for learning tricks.

@tobsesta99 @HalBailman
Thanks for explaining! Yeah it does seem like a bummer.
Re: You'll Want To Learn These New Mario Kart World Tricks If You Hope To Win
There is absolutely no chance I will ever use Rewind in a race. Making a certain stunt is not worth going back to 24th place.
