Nintendo’s 85th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders took place last week, and is tradition, shareholders voted on the election of its directors. There aren’t any huge surprises as everyone was reelected, including president Shuntaro Furukawa and Shigeru Miyamoto.

Patapon 1 + 2 Replay physical

We have a quick heads up for for Patapon 1 + 2 Replay fans: a physical release is available on Nintendo Switch, but with a caveat.

The collection just came out this week, though for the most part, it’s digital-only. However, a full physical release just went out in Japan and Asia.

Donkey Kong Bananza frame rate drops

Kazuya Takahashi, the director of Donkey Kong Bananza, has commented on the game’s performance and frame rate drops.

Overall, early impressions of the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive have been positive. However, some who have been able to try out the game prior to launch have noticed some frame rate dips. It’s largely stable and tends to hit its target of 60 frames per second, but inconsistencies have been noticed. We should get a better idea about performance following launch, which is happening next Thursday.
