Digital Foundry has returned with its latest Switch technical analysis. The Resident Evil Revelations Collection has been explored in-depth this time around.
Digital Foundry starts with the sequel, Resident Evil Revelations 2. The game runs at the maximum 1080p resolution when docked and 720p in handheld mode. However, anti-aliasing has been entirely removed. Capcom has implemented some form of sharpening, which can make textures look sharper but introduces noise and shimmering. A few other graphical bells and whistles have been reduced or removed, but Resident Evil Revelations 2 for Switch stacks up favorably to other consoles.
Update: Bumped to the top. The Lost Sphear demo is live in North America. Also, you can now pre-load the game in North America.
Original: Lost Sphear, Square Enix’ latest RPG for the Switch, has been out in Japan for a couple of months now. A demo was also released for the game on the Japanese eShop back in September. With the game’s Western release on January 23rd rapidly approaching, the demo is now also available on the European Switch eShop. It’ll likely hit the North American eShop soon as well.
Thanks to Bart and chusetto for the tip.
Update (12/7): The pre-load option is now live in North America. Final US pricing is $39.99.
Original (12/6): Yooka-Laylee can now be pre-loaded on the European Switch eShop. In doing so, players can get ready for launch by purchasing the game ahead of time and downloading most of the required data.
You should be able to pre-load Yooka-Laylee in North America tomorrow as well. We expect it’ll be up around 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT, when the eShop normally updates.
