Tales of Xillia Remastered reveals Nintendo Switch frame rate, resolution
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Following up on this week’s announcement of Tales of Xillia Remastered, Bandai Namco has confirmed the game’s frame rate and resolution on Nintendo Switch.
Frame rate is where fans might be disappointed with the final result. It turns out that the RPG will run at 30 FPS on Nintendo’s platform (and that could fluctuate depending on what’s happening on screen). As it turns out, this is actually a downgrade from the original PlayStation 3 release. Much of the game did run at 30 FPS back in the day, but battles were 60 FPS – and it would have been great to see something similar on Nintendo Switch.

We have more footage from Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, this time showing off handheld mode.
The game’s performance when not running docked has been a big question mark thus far. The title finally made it’s playable debut on Nintendo Switch 2 thus far, and as you may have seen, many people who went hands-on with the demo brought up performance issues. You can make your own judgment now, though we will say that things are a bit limited as the new video is only about three minutes long.

Kirby Air Riders has officially confirmed plans for local mutliplayer splitscreen support.
Not including the feature would have been an odd omission. However, some fans were concerned that it wouldn’t be a part of the Nintendo Switch 2 game. During this week’s Nintendo Direct for the title, splitscreen multiplayer for Kirby Air Riders actually wasn’t mentioned.
