Splatoon still has roughly two months to go before launch, but the folks at Digital Foundry have already published an early technical analysis for the game. Digital Foundry particularly looks at Splatoon’s frame rate, which runs at a “near flawless” 60fps. There is only “the occasional dropped frame detracting from the fluidity – mostly unnoticeable in action, and something that could well be ironed out in the game’s final run of optimisation.”

You can check out a video testing Splatoon’s frame rate above. Digital Foundry’s full report is located here.

During this week’s Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that there is now a Fighter Ballot for Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS. Fans across the world can submit votes for characters they’d like to see in the game, and Nintendo will take feedback into account when developing new roster additions.

There is one important thing that we may have to consider if a Facebook post from Nintendo is any indication. The post below has been making the rounds lately, which seems to indicate that the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot may only be limited to first-party Nintendo characters.

If the above post is what many people are currently assuming, then Nintendo won’t be considering any third-party characters. So much for Banjo!

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

It’s unlikely to happen, but Xbox boss Phil Spencer seems very much open to the idea of Banjo being included in the next round of Smash Bros. DLC.

Spencer told on fan on Twitter today:

Let’s just say that Nintendo was also open to featuring Banjo in the upcoming Smash Bros. DLC. Is that something you guys would like to see happen?
