Did you ever imagine seeing Final Fantasy VII Remake grace the Nintendo Switch 2? It seems like a fantasy, doesn't it? Yet, here we are, with Square Enix's critically acclaimed 2020 reimagining now available on Nintendo's latest console. This port is being hailed as one of those 'impossible' titles that have surprised Switch 2 owners in its early days.
When you think about the graphical power and ambition of FFVII Remake, its appearance on a Nintendo hybrid felt like a distant dream. However, the reality is quite impressive! The game not only looks good but also runs and feels remarkably well on the Switch 2. Now, let's be clear, there are some technical compromises compared to the PlayStation 5 version – yes, the frame rate often settles around 30fps (a point that might irk some purists!). But for the most part, this is a wonderful demonstration of what the new hardware is capable of.
Our own Alana certainly thought so, awarding it a 9/10 in her review. She highlighted how "For those who haven’t touched Final Fantasy VII before and are worried, don’t fret," even with the new additions, the Switch 2 port remains an "amazing way to experience (part of) one of the most influential games of all time." This is fantastic news for newcomers eager to dive into this epic saga!
