DenFami-Nico-Gamer interviewed Naoki Hamaguchi regarding FF7 Remake Intergrade for Switch 2 (and Xbox). I’ll share only some highlights below:
- Game-Key Card is chosen over Game Card due to “overwhelming” speed difference [my previous post about GC speed here]
- “Relatively easy” to port from PS5, due to NS2’s RAM size
- Tuned for stable frame rate; careful about the difference between handheld and TV modes
- No mouse support at the moment
- Smash introduced Cloud and Sephiroth to young players; wants to see families playing FF7 together
- FF7 Rebirth for NS2 & Xbox is “progressing steadily”
- Cross-platform development won’t reduce the quality of the 3rd game; will work diligently to optimize
- A demo will be released; save data transfer is still being considered
