Repeating myself:
The Switch version plays pretty well so far in handheld mode. Really love this on the Lite.
My only complaint is that I wish they gave options for the controls. It's very weird to attack with the "A" button.

my thoughts while playing the demo (still playing):
is this real? Am I in a dream?
You can remap controls.

When I got to Jadd I almost teared up when the music played lol. Just can't believe this is real.

How is the resolution in handheld? Is it native or similar to Dragon Quest?
How's the frame rate on base PS4 for any Australians who have it yet? Consistent 60 fps or fluctuating? If it ain't stable may go for Switch version instead.
Seems to be a solid 60 at least to me. Some cutscenes are like 30-40 though. But yeah gameplay/exploring looks like solid 60.
Oh nice, I didn't know it was up, thanks OP! Which version runs better? I guess it's Switch < PS4 < PC ?
Fair enough. One more question, in handheld, does it have anti aliasing or lots of jaggies?
Any word on what the resolution/frame-rate differences are between the Switch and PS4 versions are?
The OP should probably include information on when the demo is out since this makes it sound like it already is.

yeah only thing that's out for me right now is disappointment when checking my switch. is there a list of times?
... So, it's not out in the majority of where the forum posts.
Can you please put the information in the OP so people aren't confused?

This what I feared after watching the first videos. This enemy was particularly difficult in the original, specialy for being the first boss of the game.

I was sad that they spoiled The Sacrifice Part III in the last official trailer. I intended to literally hear the song in the last battle in the game. : (
Well, at least I did not hear the song of Mana Holy Land. This I literally intend to hear in the game.
This makes me happy.
God, it's going to be tough deciding which version to get (PS4 or Switch).
HELL YES!!
Hope somebody rips the other tunes. I'm dying to hear the remix of Few Paths Forbiden, the cavern theme.
