The latest video game the tech-focussed team at Digital Foundry have been examining is the recently released remaster/remake of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. In this case we are looking at the Nintendo Switch version which runs at a relatively stable 30fps in both docked and handheld mode. When the game is played in docked mode the resolution flits between dynamic 540p -720p and in handheld mode the resolution is dynamic between 432p-720p, though it generally hovers around 504p. As you would expect, the Nintendo Switch version of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion has seen sacrifices in some areas to get the game running well on the system, but Switch owners should rest assured that it is a decent port from Square Enix.
