Video: Digital Foundry Gives Its Tech Analysis for Xenoblade Chronicles 2
<div><p><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/xenoblade_chronicles_2"><strong>Xenoblade Chronicles 2</strong></a> arrived recently, pretty much the last major retail release on the Switch for this year. It’s <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/nintendo-switch/xenoblade_chronicles_2">another triumph for Monolith Soft</a> and Nintendo, and is sure to keep fans busy into 2018. That said, one thing we said in our review was that, although it’s a handsome game in various ways, it has one of the “biggest docked / portable gulfs yet on the Switch”. It looks pretty nice on a TV, but detail and resolution are rather different on the portable.</p>
<p>Now our chums at Digital Foundry have done their thing and given a tech analysis on the Switch title. It’s an interesting watch and puts some more detail and numbers on the resolution, framerate and so on. Check it out below.</p>

<p>We think anyone playing the game will accept that it has some technical flaws – on the other hand it’s a sizeable and ambitious title, so it’s unsurprising. Perhaps, like with the year’s other massive adventure in <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/legend_of_zelda_breath_of_the_wild">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild</a></strong>, there’ll be some updates and patches to smooth out some issues.</p>
<p>Let us know how you’re getting on with the game, or if you’re planning to pick it up for the festive period.</p>
