While the Nintendo 64 is now 28 years old, emulation for the platform is notoriously challenging, and that's no less true for Nintendo itself. The latest evidence comes from the newly-minted Switch version of N64 classic Banjo-Tooie, which features an inconsequential but pretty much unmissable bug right on the title screen thanks to the game's improved frame rate.
Banjo-Tooie was a visual standout when it hit the N64 back in 2000, but its giant levels and detailed environments came at the cost of a bad - sometimes even abysmal - frame rate. N64 games regularly ran at a 20 FPS target that would be unthinkable these days, and on the original platform Banjo-Tooie struggles at times to even reach that low bar.
