The latest video game from a tech-focused team Digital foundry questioned the recently released remaster/remake Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. In this case, we’re looking at the Nintendo Switch version running at a relatively steady 30 frames per second in docked and handheld mode. When the game is played in docked mode, the resolution ranges between a dynamic 540p -720p, and in handheld mode the resolution is dynamic between 432p-720p, although it generally hovers around 504p. As you’d expect, the Nintendo Switch version of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion has seen sacrifices in some areas to make the game run well on the system, but Switch owners should rest assured that it’s a decent port from Square Enix.
