Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s “impossible treasure chest” merely holds Opal
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 40 Comments
One treasure chest located in Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s huge world can’t be opened with normal means. Located on an island between Aris Beach and Clarnet Coast, the chest won’t move even with Magnesis or any of the game’s other tricks.
That’s where an emulator comes in. Leonardo Ramallo managed to use the tool and the underwater glitch to access the chest. Unfortunately, the results are disappointing. It merely contains a single piece of Opal.

Digital Foundry tests Super Bomberman R’s 60 FPS patch
Posted on 7 years ago by Fernando in Switch, Videos | 18 Comments
Digital Foundry has uploaded a new video showing how Super Bomberman R on Switch manages to get a stable 60 frames per second with the new version 1.3 patch.
Apparently, in order to stabilize the game at 60 FPS, Konami has dropped the resolution and Super Bomberman R runs at 720p in Battle Mode while docked. While playing portably, the image quality also takes a dip to 540p. The Story Mode retains the original resolution of 1080p docked and 720p portable, now with an uncapped frame rate of roughly 45 FPS.
Here’s the analysis:
