Let’s be real about certain things. Even though companies might not announce Switch or Switch 2 versions of games at launch, we collectively sort of know they’re probably going to happen. It happened Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Persona 3 Reload, Tales of Arise, and the Final Fantasy VII Remake entries. Now it happened with the Digimon Story latest entry on both platforms. I found the Switch 2 version of Digimon Story: Time Stranger absolutely worth the wait after spending ten hours with this new port. First of all, Digimon Story: Time Stranger remains a really great creature-collecting JRPG with a diverse cast, snappy combat system, and easy means of trying to target the Digivolutions we want. That doesn’t change regardless of platform. We can easily backtrack or head to DigiFarm to try and meet some evolutionary requirements. (DigiFarm itself still could be a bit clearer.) While I primarily played it originally on a Lenovo Legion Go, my battery life isn’t great with that and I tend to use it as an “at home” sort of system. My Switch and Switch 2 always are my “true” on the go gaming platforms, and I found myself taking part in longer sessions here than I did when playing on the PC. Now, in terms of extra content, there is none. The change here that is present at launch is the inclusion of options that let you choose Performance or Quality prioritization when playing. (This choice will also eventually come to the PS5 and Xbox Series X too.) The Quality option works fine. It’s a consistent option. Regardless of whether the console is docked or not, it runs at 30fps. If you are docked, it’ll display at 4K and look pretty good. Will it be a little jagged at the edges still and some textures not be at their best? Definitely. But it being so bright and vibrant and with such cartoonish characters means it looked better than I expected. The Handheld Mode option there is locked at 1080p. Since I was primarily testing it undocked, I noticed it would struggle with the 30fps in some spots both in and out of battle. (Mainly if a lot of Digimon appeared or that involved a lot of movement and camera adjustments on my part.) But I think Digimon Story: Time Stranger is at its best on the Switch 2 in Performance mode. The goal here is to try and maintain a stable 60fps performance while also keeping the game at 1080p both when docked or undocked. This is the way to go. While there were still moments when the frame rate would drop, again when things got “busy,” I found it ran more reliably in this mode. It really does come close to being at 60fps most of the time.

It is such an enjoyable on-the-go type of title. Especially with the Performance mode option. Though the frame rate can drop sometimes, it looks good in 1080p and is stable more often than not.
