Works for me, id prefer better performance but its not worse so that settles it for me, getting it on switch. I have a ps5 but i much, much prefer my RPGs in handheld format. Original SMTV performance wasnt a deal breaker by any means

I loved the original game but I got this version on the ps5. I want to see what the game is like when the switch isn’t struggling to run it. I’ll probably pick it up on the switch on sale.
I’ve never been a performance guy but after seeing the game run on the more powerful hardware it looks so smooth now

How bad is the performance though? Are we looking at 20fps on average or is it that some zones struggle more than others? Is it THAT bad?
I keep seeing “smtv runs poorly on switch” but it’s never really explained how or what makes it disappointing
Edit: guess you can’t ask a question here. Don’t get why I’m downvoted, I just want to know.

For those who want to play this portable, I do not recommend this game if you have a launch date Switch. At least with the OG SMTV, the fan goes crazy and battery will last you like one hour and fifteen minutes at most even turning off brightness and various settings like Wi-Fi. I was forced to play this on docked until I got the OLED due to this.

Stopped playing early on in the game well before the announcement in absolute wishful thinking that they would release the game on modern consoles. So glad I waited.

I’m wondering if this version will make me like the game more, because I absolutely hated the original. It felt slow, tedious, and grindy.

Might have to get this physical

So, as someone who isn’t used to playing Atlus’ enhanced editions, does this include the full original game EXACTLY as it was? (Except for the part where you choose your story)
I keep meaning to pick up SMTV, but if this has the exact same game, plus more, I’ll get Vengeance.

I have the original that I haven’t gotten around to playing. Should I play that first to appreciate the content, or could I jump into this when I’m ready to start it?

For someone who hasn’t played this game or any SMT before, should I just start with the new ‘route’ or should I play the original first?
Is it an improvement like P5R where you are meant to only ply the new story, but in this case they left the original story in as an option?

The original was hot garbage so it better. I aint fucking paying 60-70 dollars for a glorfiied dlc of a rough draft of a game from a couple years ago.

I really loved SMTV despite the lackluster story. I picked up my old save this weekend and am working on getting the true neutral ending before picking Vengeance up. Small detail but I loved how you would slide down the sand dunes when sprinting, felt so good.

I thought the original release was an incredibly disappointing follow up to SMT4. A very small (relative to 4 and 4A) pool of a demons, bland and uninteresting characters, a world barren of character and chock full of re-used assets, and it run like garbage on the switch.
Even if 5V improved in any of these categories, Atlas has given me the impression that SMT is a second (or maybe third) fiddle to Persona and their other, more popular IPs.

Runs the same as the OG version
