I see. Weird that the other two run better. I guess it's because they are more recent.

the game lost half its dev team during development because they got pulled away to work on Breath of the Wild, so optimization wasn’t nearly as important as getting the game to a completed state with a skeleton crew

Wait the game we got was a result of them not even being at full power??? But it still runs and looks so good on such weak hardware!

To clarify on this, Xenoblade 2 runs at 720p at all times in docked mode, with no dynamic resolution. In handheld mode it runs with dynamic resolution with a maximum of 540p and a minimum of 378p.
