In New Super Mario Bros., a relatively simple sequence of actions results in the game failing so spectacularly that it crashes even the internal crash debugger meant to handle such situations.

Tests around the net indicate Switch 2 categories load way slower than the pcie-sd cards. But why? What's the difference? Is it something Nintendo can fix in firmware?

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, two mistakes in enemy programming result in a humorous scenario where an enemy can attempt to counterproductively "heal" a fellow enemy's beneficial status effect by using an item that can't even remove that effect in the first place.

I have a solution Mario Kart World, if Nintendo of America is listening. Keep the connecting course intermissions, but make the following changes: 1) Connecting courses give BONUSES for the main course. Keep your coins. Earn a stash of backup mushrooms by taking tricky routes. Store

Aw. My favorite 8BitDo controller is falling apart. I've owned about 7 of your products, and this is the only one to fail. So, I'm in the market to buy a new one. Do you have a sequel planned for the Pro 2?

An immensely obscure tiny detail in Super Mario Sunshine is that Strollin' Stus have heightened awareness of Mario if he has no water left. Pumping FLUDD with no water makes them notice Mario from much further away. This took players 22 years after the game's release to discover.

I'm convinced our only way out of this is for Valve to add a performance badge to every game page. Real world data. Average build: 30fps, Poor. Your build: 45, Poor. 95th percentile: 62fps, Okay. Make devs care about performance, devs will finally ask why engines suck recently.

A relatively cheap way to use 4-bit normal mapping on 3DO. For each of the 16 colors in the CLUT we need to calculate the dot product (4 x mat4 x vec4) and use it as a new palette. This requires re-rendering the geometry with mul blending, but it's worth it... right? 8)
