How to make Yoshi’s New Island less laggy?

Yoshi’s New Island is notorious for its laggy gameplay. Occupational therapist Jodi Mindell has some tips on how to make it less laggy.

First, be patient. If you’re experiencing lag, try not to react in an angry or frustrated way. Instead, take a few deep breaths and relax your muscles. This will help clear your mind and hopefully reduce the amount of lag happening on screen.

Second, use a wired connection if possible. Wireless connections can often be slower due to interference from other devices in close proximity. If you must use a wireless connection, try using a different channel or setting up a network isolation device like an Ethernet cable between your gaming console and router/switchboard.

Third, keep your computer clean and organized. Spilled coffee or food on the keyboard can cause sluggishness when trying to type fast-paced commands in games like Yoshi’s New Island or World of Warcraft; likewise, unused programs and files can hog up hard drive space and slow down your computer overall. Remove unneeded programs or files when you’re not using them so that your computer has more room to work with during gaming sessions.
