We are back, back, back with another edition of Box Art Brawl!

We went tactical last week, as we matched up a pair of covers for Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift on the DS, and it’s got to be said, the results were the most one-sided we’ve seen in a long time.

Tifa and claws.

Switch 2 has been graced with a few ‘impossible’ ports in its first months on the market, and this week, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade joined the ranks.

While playing Square Enix’s acclaimed 2020 remake on Nintendo’s old hybrid would have felt like a pipedream, FFVII looks, runs, and feels exceptionally good on Switch 2.
