The team over at Digital Foundry have played through Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition for the Nintendo Switch.
During their investigation they found that the action-packed JRPG’s resolution is between 504p to 720p when played in docked mode and 378p to 540p in handheld mode.
A classic Wii title gets ported across to Switch and remastered in the process! John Linneman assesses the quality of the new conversion, stacks it up against the original Wii and New 3DS versions and answers the question… is this *really* the definitive version of the game?
