Donkey Kong Bananza director comments on frame rate drops
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
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.

Skull & Co NeoGrip review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’ve got another Nintendo Switch 2 accessory review for you — this time, it’s for the Skull & Co NeoGrip.
A little while back, we published a review for the StandGrip, which is another Switch 2 grip from Skull & Co. That one is definitely the most comfortable in our opinion, but the NeoGrip offers a different range of features for those who prefer other options. For one, the NeoGrip is much lighter, and it’s easier to slide off and on. It keeps the kickstand accessible, unlike the StandGrip, which brings a bit more functionality in case you’re looking for that. Most importantly, however, the NeoGrip is dock-friendly, which means you can keep it attached to the console even in docked mode. That’s an important feature for some players, so if that counts for you too, we definitely recommend considering this grip.
