    So it has some lag issues, which don't bother me that much except during the mini-games. After failing the flute for the 5th time because of lag, I started noticing that right after it lagged the controller would vibrate quite strongly. So I thought why not and give it a try. And what do you know? Performance actually seems to have increased by quite a bit. I could maintain a 10x multiplier for quite a while, before I already would run in to trouble around 5x. The increase seems to be only during mini-games, gestures and other parts where the controller would go all vibrating happy.  
     
    So try it out, it only takes about 5 seconds to change the setting.

    That's a pretty ghetto way of making the game run smoother :P Cool tip.

    Wait, are you sure that the vibration isn't just throwing you off? There should be no performance impact in having vibration on in the game at all... I mean, I haven't played the game and I know it has a reputation for being glitchy, but damn, that's a pretty shoddy sounding problem...

    No cause the vibration happens after I missed the mark. I know it sounds strange but I think the game actually sends so many vibration queues to the system that it clogs up. If that's even possible, I don't know how they programmed it. I just know that it seems to run a lot smoother.
