    looks gorgeous in docked and portable and runs locked at 30fps. every couple of hours you will notice a slight lag but its barely noticeable and does not affect gameplay. In terms of graphics and performance in runs extremely well on the switch, so dont worry about that specifically.

    I bought this when it came out for the PS4 and absolutely LOVED it. When I heard it was being ported to the Switch I was a bit sceptical, but I was definitely wrong: it REALLY works! Sure, it's not quite as graphically detailed but on my Switch OLED it still looks fantastic. Highly recommended.

    Probably one of the best game in a generation. It really explores deep subjects like human suffering, life and death, and loneliness while also providing stylish combat. The Nintendo Switch version is easily one of the best ports of the system to date.

    Honestly to be a game for the switch it has good graphics and it doesn’t look that bad at all playing on tv or on the console.

    I've beaten this game probably 3 times before this edition was released and I love that I can now take it with me on the go. Definitely one of my favorite games of the last 10 years

    This was an amazing RPG port to the switch. This game is on Playstation, Xbox, and PC BUT it's still just as great on the Nintendo Switch. The controls take some getting use, and it's a game you can just lose yourself in.

    Game runs surprisingly well on the Nintendo Switch. Also comes with Switch exclusives? It's a win-win, duh.

    Runs well on switch and happy to play it on the go. One of PlatniumGames’ finest action games combined with Square Enix’s great storytelling. I don’t regret getting this as it is a very stable port and still looks extremely good in both docked and handheld mode. If you haven’t played Nier yet, play this version.

    This title is what the switch games library has been missing! Engaging story,beautiful musical score,memorable characters,this game has it all. My only complaint would be that the other games in the nier series should be ported to switch to complete the series.
