We sadly didn't get to test the Switch version's arguably most intriguing option: full, thought-out Joy-Con control. The high frame rate is arguably more crucial to a satisfying D3 session, but we wonder whether the game's Switch version would be better served by a high-contrast, "highlighted" monster option so that blurry enemies can glow in the dark in a pinch. Enemy clarity is no small thing to lose during high-level combat, when a single bad dodge could be the difference between victory and loot-annihilating defeat. Without precise measuring equipment, we can only guess the resolution (540p-ish?) at our session’s most frantic moments. The bad news is that resolution tanked as a result. The good news is that the Switch never faltered in delivering a locked 60-fps experience. We picked the Wizard precisely because its level 70 attacks fill the screen with falling, fiery meteors, lightning-accented warps, and generally every fantasy-styled magic effect you can think of.
In our local multiplayer co-op session, our level 70 Wizard character was paired with a level 70 Barbarian (controlled by a Blizzard representative). We confirmed via behind-closed-doors gameplay that fans can expect the same high-speed action in portable mode-and Blizzard wasn’t messing around to prove it. While the game’s apparent docked resolution was lower than 1080p, this mode included a blistering, nearly locked 60 frames-per-second refresh and looked clear enough. Radial menus to make console menu-toggling easier.īlizzard brought a few Diablo III kiosks to Nintendo’s PAX West booth, and these were dedicated to the game's single-player docked experience on Switch.
