While I may sound like a broken record for wanting touch screen support for the UI, the real big missing feature here is video recording. This isn’t a problem for most people but it looks out of place compared to many of the other nicer looking icons.

Visually, things look great in both modes and the only complaint I have when it comes to looks is the game icon on the home screen. When it comes to Switch specific features, while there isn’t HD Rumble the vibration feedback is great and this makes the finishing moves even more satisfying. The Switch has allowed this to become a reality and the port is excellent.
YS VIII HUNTING S RANK PORTABLE
The PS4 port was almost perfect with a few slowdowns and I was hoping to see this on some portable in the future when I reviewed it a year ago. I love Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (LINK TO XBOX JP GAMES) and having played ICEY on PS4, it blended what I liked from it with the meta narrative style from The Stanley Parable quite nicely. When I first played ICEY on PS4, I was pretty excited to check out what people called the “indie 2D revengeance”.

Originally released on PC and PS4 and scored 8/10 and 8.5/10 respectively This is easily the definitive portable version of Ys VIII. On the smaller screen, a lot of the issues are less of a problem.

In fact, I’d recommend only playing the Switch version portable until they patch some of the issues. On the portable side of things, this is better than playing on Vita in every aspect but shadows. The drop to 30fps would’ve been fine if it looked better but the variable resolution makes it look quite ugly in some situations. The Switch visuals are inconsistent and the framerate isn’t stable in some situations. Overall, if you want to play Ys VIII on TV, get the PS4 version by far. This port does however support the Switch video recording feature out of the box which is always welcome in action games. The lack of touchscreen functionality for UI is also disappointing since the Vita version had this. This is a problem on the Vita version to some extent but it looks really ugly in the Switch release. These aren’t ideal but the biggest issue for me is the shadow flickering for things in the environment. The frame rate isn’t locked at all times either and it can drop when needed. The variable resolution drops quite low around the main hub area which makes it look really ugly but it holds up relatively well in other areas. It targets 30fps in both handheld and docked modes and uses a variable resolution to try and hit that target.

It has all the QOL enhancements from the PS4 version and all the Vita exclusive DLC included. Sadly, it has turned out to not be the best way to experience this fantastic game.Īside from text errors which are apparently being addressed already and are known issues for patches (this review is based on version 1.02 which includes the day one patch), content wise this is easily the best version of Ys VIII. When the Switch version was announced to contain all DLC from both the Vita and PS4 versions and have all the new PS4 content, I was hoping it would be the definitive version.

Sadly, I spend my free time just playing more Splatoon 2 and replaying Ys VIII on higher difficulties simultaneously on PS4 and PS Vita. Seeing how many Switch Re:Ports and reviews I do in general, you’d think I’d be focussing on new games when I have free time. I already loved it a ton when I reviewed it on PS4 at launch and since then it has slowly grown on me more and more and climbed its way into my top games of all time.

Ys VIII is one of my favourite action RPGs of all time. Originally released on PS4 and PS Vita in 2017 and scored 9/10 This Re:Port looks at Nihon Falcom’s first game to hit the Switch, two rhythm games, one of Chris’ favourite games, and an indie game that plays like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance in 2D. As always, this focusses on the games in general, port quality, any exclusive features, or just why you need to pay attention to or skip a game that’s on Nintendo’s new handheld hybrid home console. E3 2018 is finally over and while I’m still recovering from my least favourite gaming time of the year, the Nintendo Switch has gotten a ton of new ports and games.
