Re: Feature: Three Laps, Two Players, One Vegas Jumpsuit - 10 Things We'd Love To See Added To Mario Kart World

One of my pet peeves with Mario Kart ever since Wii has been the frame rate drop in local multiplayer for 3 and 4 players. I realize it might be a technical challenge, but I would personally prefer to see it drop to 720p60fps in that mode over 1080p30fps. I was really hoping, with the Switch 2 being more focused on performance this time around, that they would change that. Oh well.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Lets You Tackle Gyms In Any Order

@Ralizah I was just thinking the same thing.

If the levels don't scale, then you can't truly tackle the gyms in any order. There would be a soft 'preferred order' based on what level the gym leaders' Pokemon are set to. Maybe they use a tiered system where the first 2 gyms are leveled around 5-10, then the next two 15-25, and so on for all 8.

Scaling though, would allow any order. It would be cool to see the gym leaders' Pokemon teams change based on how many badges collected. There are many ways this could work, and I'm happy to see the formula changing.
