Dragon Ball Z Kakarot has been finally released on the Nintendo Switch. Is the Switch version worth the wait, or is it a terrible port?
Bandai Namco waited until all of the post-launch DLC was out for Dragon Ball Z Kakarot before they released the port of the game. This port appears to be quite decent. While it downgrades the visuals, texture quality takes a hit as well, and the post-process effects are toned down, but the general look of the game doesn’t seem to be affected that massively with the downgrade.
The game is perfectly playable at 30 FPS and while it is not rock-solid performance, it appears to hold up well in the flashy Dragon Ball trademark fights. The opening few minutes will give you a good idea of the game running on the Nintendo Switch. For a full review of the game, check out our coverage of the Xbox One version.
Bandai Namco is selling this version as Dragon Ball Z Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Set. It is being sold for $59.99 and includes all of the post-launch content and more.
