Fairy Tail

With Fairy Tail just a couple of weeks away until launch, we’ve learned more about how the Switch version is shaping up. Developer Gust informed Nintendo Everything that the game runs at 30 frames per second. You’ll get a 1080p resolution when docked and 720p portable mode.

We’ll have more from our interview with Gust regarding Fairy Tail soon.

Following the backlash, Wales Interactive said in a statement:
