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. Gust didn’t indicate that there will be any fluctuations, but we’ll undoubtedly have the final verdict upon release.

Outside of discussing performance, we were told that the team “optimized interactions for the background and effects for the Switch version”. However, since the game was always planned as a multiplatform title, Gust “worked hard to ensure that the quality was uniform across all platforms.”
