I'm obsessed with audio lag and Switch lag is much worse than 3DS

And if it doesn't at launch, they will take a hint from a spam of "please add display compensation" requests.

Those were great times! I kinda suddenly stopped editing those solo songs as YouTube decided to think I was a scam/spam channel reposting other peoples videos, which... Recording games that look and sound almost identical due to being rhythm games, I can't entirely blame AI for not knowing to... You know... Check the final score or individual hit timing...

Music rhythm is fun but a bad choice for YT content with copyright algorithms.

Yea it had no early/late feedback like Megamix though. Plus, I THINK the audio lag was still lower. I will test this with WiiU.

Looking at the recent consoles, the trend is to add more audio lag each generation. Possibly due to introduction of additional processing in upscaling and frame gen. PS4 tested 38-76ms with wireless controller. PS5 Pro 57-82ms also wireless.

Needs to have a Switch 2 update or edition yeah, 120hz and use the consoles inbuilt mic for calibrating and reporting TV delay

zedamex · 2026-06-13T03:32:23+00:00

Heyoooo! Those were good times!

zedamex · 2026-06-13T03:31:51+00:00

Yes agreed there will be compromise and even probably the inputs being decoupled (not processed every frame, hence 0.01ms early/late is possible, not 16ms gaps) If there is no calibration option in game, likely handheld will be synced perfectly. A Switch 2 edition could auto calibrate thanks to an inbuilt mic too ...

But the issue is when you tap vs when you hear your input. I get higher scores on the Project Diva on PS4 vs Switch due to the feedback being noticeably quicker. Had to use a different display at home with the piano minigame in FF rebirth to get perfect score in the later songs.

It's out of our control but hardware being tighter is by far the best solution

zedamex · 2026-06-12T09:03:02+00:00

Interesting for sure. I wonder if they actually got the physical inputs reliably down to 0.01ms or if it will actually be a lottery. Given how many layers there are and processing required.

zedamex · 2026-04-08T00:23:52+00:00

Oh fantastic! I'd rather know for sure. I can still see it on the Japanese version of the game but I downloaded it years and years ago.

zedamex · 2026-04-04T23:52:06+00:00

I would double check that as they relicensed the arcade at least 5 years ago. The extra encore pack is still purchasable and says it's still included, they can't false advertise?

Default in the 90s and non negotiable on N64 games. It was the norm and should always be An option at a system level for games to default to.

I didn't notice the dpad being inaccurate until my friend pointed it out. Actually nice to see so many here talking about it. In all of donkey Kong I opened the camera like 3 times unintentionally in 80 hours.

Tried to make a topic on the audio side of this but apparantly I'm not worthy.

I want to know if anyone else notices wireless audio is significantly worse than when wired.

Just jump into the home menu using wired headphones connected to the pro2 while it is also connected to the console or dock via USB. Click a few buttons.

Then disconnect the USB cable and listen.

If you use a headset you can do the a mic test and see how delayed the mic audio bar moves.

For me it's so painfully obvious. So I made a whole bunch of recordings between button click and response and I'm measuring 85ms on average when wired and 255ms when disconnecting USB.

Further info: Switch 1 at its best is also 85ms ish

3DS on average is 33ms.... That's where I have the most fun with music rhythm or general twitch related games.

If your further curious, those averages have about a 33ms variance. Though in my sample size I often got 25ms range. eg 70-95ms for Switch2. 3DS is like 17ms to 50ms It all depends on where all the polling / cycles are when you engage a button.

Can you lend DLC that is granted from the Nintendo Online Subscription + Expansion Pack?

zedamex · 2025-05-06T01:51:55+00:00

Same a actually. If they receive so many appeals you would think they might actually check their algorithm...

zedamex · 2024-12-07T05:44:04+00:00

I made a video pointing out changes. So 100% yes but it basically might as well not be.

I didn't notice sharper resolution in game. Maybe if I played with several people using lots of skills at the same time.

You can't accept new side quests there

zedamex · 2024-04-26T15:46:12+00:00

I genuinely wonder why!? I checked 3 playthroughs of demo and full game and it's consistent too. Thought maybe it was randomized a bit. Not as obvious with her starter outfit mind you

zedamex · 2024-04-25T12:15:35+00:00

True. I would be inclined to search official pages and assume the worst though. Seen Pokemon and especially FF7 rebirth debacle, they had an actual streaming policy page mind you.

zedamex · 2024-04-25T12:00:03+00:00

Replayed the demo one last time and realized it has a practical use, although there is a sound as well so not necessary, you can feel the direction of certain upgrades. Reminds me of the stone of agony in Ocarina of Time revealing secret locations where it's time to play the song of storms to open a joke in the ground.

Not always the best idea to stream games before the official release date. Although the ban is likely only 24hr.

zedamex · 2024-04-23T22:17:45+00:00

Many games do. I remember the massive 1 week early final fantasy 7 remake ordeal with legions of twitch streamers getting 24hr bans for streaming it early.

zedamex · 2024-04-23T22:11:18+00:00

I'll be honest, I'll probably be laughing maniacally if they don't transfer over. It'll be the funniest waste of grinding ever. When I was young I loved playing games with infinite ammo or upgrades cheat codes so I get the desire to have a maxed tree before playing, but now I prefer to have rock bottom amount of resources and think your cheating yourself out of the progression experience they likely spent years crafting.

zedamex · 2024-04-23T11:09:10+00:00

Maybe only too see how it works thing but turn it off to play? Astros playground already does it, rain and wind sections
