![]() ![]() The dual weapon system from Contra III returns and the player's normal gun can now shoot in autofire once again. Two additional characters: Brownie (Tsugumin in the Japanese version), an android shaped like a small girl and Plissken, a tall reptilian humanoid alien (whose name is a tribute to the Snake Plissken movie character), can also be selected once the player has completed the game on Easy (Brownie) and Normal (Plissken). The player initially has a choice between two different player characters: Bill Rizer, the traditional Contra hero, or Genbei Yagyu from Neo Contra. As with most Contra games, up to two players can play simultaneously. The game can be played with the standard Wii Remote, as well as with the Classic Controller or a Nintendo GameCube controller. Other than that, all my other character choices aren't that out there, just vaguely underappreciated at worst.Contra ReBirth retains the same sprite-based side-scrolling gameplay as the series' earlier installments. ![]() I mostly just want to see how they'd represent his icomprehensible attacks in Smash. He's not at the top of my list either, but he's way more realistic than the Emperor Bulblax. Uh, I guess there's also Giygas/Giegue, but he's actually decently popular (though most people wanted to see him as a Mewtwo clone of some sort). I do see one problem, and this will sound weird coming from a devout Ridley supporter, but proportionally to Olimar he might be too big? Not really campaigning for his inclusion, but it's just more of a fun thought. On the other hand, the Emperor Bulblax was a final boss and has enough design characteristics and attacks to allow for a potentially interesting moveset. The way I see it, it would have to be a Bulborb, but despite the inclusion of Piranha Plant I don't feel like the regular Bulborb is good enough on his own, plus I feel like on its own it doesn't really have too much moveset potential. As a bonus, someone did at least hack Red Savarin into Dissidia Final Fantasy.Īlright, this is an odd one, but I was trying to think of a character that could somehow represent the wildlife of Pikmin, and I ended up thinking the Emperor Bulblax could be a good fit.Ī couple of people have suggested the Plasmwraith, but I feel like he's too bizarre to represent Pikmin's natural enemies. I guess they could have things like his zap gun for stunning opponents similar to ZSS, and transforming into a hybrid for additional special moves or attacks. does his clown car, or if he'd be on his own with a sword weapon much like the intro to the game would show. I'm not sure how he would work as a fighter, whether he'd be controlling his mech like Bowser Jr. Another great and simple RPG largely unknown with an interesting storyline. Red Savarin from Solatorobo: Red the Hunter. Would fit very nicely and I'd love to see the Beastector make an appearance in some way. Marina Liteyears from Mischief Makers: Treasure's N64 gem that ironically has a lot of smashing and throwing things around. Really wish this game would get more exposure. Anyone who has played the game I'm sure would agree that having Ark as a spear user would make an interesting opponent (not to mention spiking the attention for a hidden classic). All of this going alongside porting Shattered Soldier to the Switch would be over-the-top amazing (or better yet, an all-new Contra) after all, Shattered Soldier was coming to the GameCube but it was also cancelled.Īrk from Terranigma: not quite sure where to draw the line in obscurity, but this was definitely a gem of a game with an amazing soundtrack. If I could have any one appearance for him it would definitely be in his blue armor from Contra III, but maybe he could also have alternate costumes much like Shulk having a shirtless alt. All that is to say Contra has had very little attention from Konami over the years and it's hard to find any new content relating to it these days outside of a homage to the series with Bill Rizer/Lance Bean costumes in Super Bomberman R. There have been mobile games coming out since then, like Contra Evolution and Contra: Hero Returns but they have all been Chinese exclusives, and the 3DS Contra was mysteriously cancelled years ago. The last Contra we had was the spin-off in 2009 Contra ReBirth on WiiWare, and another spin-off called Hard Corps Uprising in 2011, which was the first not to carry the Contra title. Well going from a perspective of being highly unlikely or very little chance:īill Rizer from Contra: we have Castlevania representation in Smash, Contra would be super amazing to have in some form as a counterpart but the chances for it seem non-existent. ![]()

The most obvious comparison is on price-how much do these battery packs cost? Apple tends to charge a premium for hardware, and its MagSafe Battery Pack is no exception at $99. ![]() Let’s see how they stack up against each another. To make it easier for you to compare these battery packs at a glance, I built a comparison chart with specifications and other details. Other magnetic battery packs from the likes of Anker, Oisle, and Zens are available, but I did not have those available to test. But those searching for value might find it wanting.įor this article, I tested the MagSafe Battery Pack along with three competitors, Mophie’s Snap+ Juice Pack Mini, Hyper’s HyperJuice Magnetic Wireless Battery Pack, and Belkin’s Boost Charge Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 2.5K. Many who buy one of the iPhone 12 models at an Apple Store may reflexively snatch the MagSafe Battery Pack off the shelf-it’s easy, it’s Apple, why buy anything else? Indeed, the Apple battery pack has distinct-if not decisive-advantages over its rivals.

As a bicyclist, I stick a battery pack in my bike’s saddlebag on daylong rides since my iPhone might otherwise conk out due to all my fitness tracking, Google routing, picture taking, video recording, text messaging, and voice calling. I was excited about the releases because I have long depended on compact battery packs to get my heavily used iPhone 12 Pro through the day. Finally, last month, Apple unveiled its MagSafe Battery Pack as its official solution for on-the-go iPhone 12 magnetic charging. In fact, Apple was not the first to offer one-several third-party battery packs beat Apple to the punch for use with the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. When Apple unveiled its new MagSafe magnetic charging technology for the iPhone with a variety of desktop accessories (see “ Seven Third-Party Accessories Show MagSafe’s Potential,” 4 June 2021), it was inevitable that MagSafe-friendly mobile battery packs would become available. #1660: OS updates for sports and security, Drobo in bankruptcy, why TidBITS doesn't cover rumorsĬomparing MagSafe Battery Packs: Not A Simple Choice.#1661: Mimestream app for Gmail, auto-post WordPress headlines to Twitter and Mastodon, My Photo Stream shutting down.#1662: New Macs, 12 top OS features for 2023, vertical tabs in Web browsers, watchOS 9.5.1.#1663: Exploring the Apple Vision Pro, 12 more OS features coming in 2023, new Apple service features, Apollo shuts down.#1664: Real system requirements for OS 2023, beware Siri creating alarms instead of timers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of the more popular TV Manufacturer’s brands are listed below with their corresponding terminology for TV motion smoothing and how to turn off the feature: How to turn off Motion Smoothing on your TV? So if you don’t know what you are looking for, you won’t know which option to browse to in your TV’s Menu and toggle it on or off or adjust the setting to your preference. Every TV manufacturer has created a unique name for this feature (LG will call it TruMotion, while Sony calls it Motionflow, for Samsung it is Auto Motion Plus and so on). The problem is there are no standards around this feature. As always, there will be people who prefer the smoother motion and clarity and those who believe they are missing the “movie magic” and prefer to turn off this feature.Īnd if you are in the latter category, you should navigate to the appropriate option in your TV settings menu and turn off the feature.Įasy, right? probably. If you have watched the above videos, you may have been able to discern the difference between watching it with or without motion smoothing. The videos show the same clip with different frame speeds, demonstrating the soap opera effect. Motion SmoothingĬheck out the following videos to get a visual perspective of the interpolation technology. Game Mode effectively turns off all the unnecessary video processing like motion smoothing, noise reduction, advanced picture effects, etc., making the video more responsive for gamers. The latest TVs do a lot of video processing, which introduces lag due to the processing time. Gamers need video while gaming to be quick with no lag to allow them to control or play the game effectively (means winning □). If you are a gamer, then you probably know about the Game Mode which some of the newer TVs come equipped with. Soap opera TV shows in the past were typically shot in 60 fps video, hence the tag. Our brains have been trained on 24 fps movies for a long time, and if you watch a movie with motion smoothing, you are probably going to think that something is off, and you are watching a TV documentary of the movie, rather than the movie itself.įor viewers, this can be discomforting and give movies what is popularly called the soap opera effect. However, with movies, the smoothing technology brings a shade of ultra-realism to a scene and removes the cinematic look. Sometimes the action is too fast for the motion smoothing technology to accurately generate a frame resulting in a blur. However, this also is not without its challenges. ![]() The higher fps give more detail and crispness to the image, giving the viewer a better feel for the action. It works great with sports, with a lot of fast-moving action on the screen. The extra frame is added using a technique called video interpolation or motion interpolation. With the motion smoothing feature turned on, your TV will up the frame rate from 24 fps to 60 fps, by adding extra frames in the gap between frames making the video appear smoother with less motion blur. Movies are usually filmed at the industry standard of 24 frames per second or 24 fps, while on the other hand, modern televisions typically use refresh rates of 50 or 60 frames per second or 60 fps. ![]() The higher the fps, the human eye perceives better clarity and a smoother video. fps or frame rate per second is the frequency/rate at which consecutive images appear on a display. ![]() ![]() While seeing the flame will be a bit more challenging, you’re less likely to spark an eyelash when you’re done lighting your bud.

The label was founded by former N.W.A member Dr. ![]() It also had high profile feuds with the east coast hip hop label Bad Boy Records and fellow west coast rap label Ruthless Records. The label focused on releasing rap music from the west coast, particularly the G-Funk subgenre of Gangsta Rap. “It feels good to have ownership of the label I was part of at the beginning of my career and as one of the founding members.Death Row Records was a record label founded in 1991 and was based in Los Angeles. “I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value,” shared the “Gin And Juice” rapper. Snoop released a statement reacting to the news, which marked a full-circle moment in the rap legend’s illustrious career. However, the terms of the deal were undisclosed. In February 2022, it was announced that Snoop had acquired Death Row Records in a deal with MNRK Music Group. Suge Knight is Death Row,” he said at one point during the phone call, evidence that he’s not willing to walk away from the label he helped build without a fight. Phillip Faraone/Getty Imagesĭuring the conversation, Knight says he believes that ownership of many of Death Row’s most popular releases will be transferred to him before it’s all “said and done.” “I am Death Row.

So if we’re gonna talk about something, let’s talk about it.” “And think you’re gonna turn around and reward and say he’s gonna grab Snoop and he’s gonna go get it back and have Death Row. “You can’t take a person who committed the worst crime of the century to take Death Row from Black people to try to give it to white people,” he said. He continued to argue his point, highlighting the discrepancy in the legality of the sale and acquisition of Death Row Records amid Harris’ prior bankruptcy filing. “When they filed bankruptcy in 1995, they said it didn’t have anything to do with Death Row-anything and the lawyer did also,” the infamous music exec claims. Knight, who referred to the sale of Death Row as “illegal” and a “crime,” says that Harris’ wife and legal team knowingly participated in the fraud stemming from the bankruptcy claim, which occurred in 1995.
