Nintendo Switch owners had to wait for quite a long time in order to play Square Enix's Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. Thankfully, the game was finally released a couple of weeks ago; bringing with it a bunch of features that no other version has.
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is not only a mouthful, but it is also the complete version of the original game, with added voice acting in both English and Japanese, new quests for players to tackle, and a phenomenal orchestrated soundtrack by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra.
Now that the Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Quest XI has been out for a few weeks, the game gets an accolades trailer that show off the positive reception this latest entry in the long-running Dragon Quest series has had; proving that Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is more than just a simple port.
It is also worth reminding players that the game's demo for Dragon Quest XI on the Nintendo Switch is currently available on the eShop — for those players who are still on the fence about purchasing it — and it's quite a lengthy one; offering players a whopping 10 hours of gameplay.

Square Enix's Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition was released on the Nintendo Switch just a couple of weeks ago; after quite a long time, since the game was announced for the console before Nintendo even revealed what the Switch was.
Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is, as the name very appropriately describes it, the definitive edition of Dragon Quest XI; featuring content that isn't present in other versions of the game, such as a fully orchestrated soundtrack and both Japanese and English dubs.
The graphics on the Nintendo Switch version of the game may look slightly downgraded, but all of the other features truly make it the definitive edition. Perhaps the feature that most seasoned players will appreciate is the fact that this version also allows them to play the full game in 16-Bit graphics.
Today, Nintendo has released an overview trailer for Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition on the Nintendo Switch, which tells us everything we need to know about this version. In case this trailer doesn't convince you, the game's 10-hour-long demo is also available on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

Square Enix's long-awaited Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition was finally released on the Nintendo Switch about a month ago; after being one of the first titles to have been officially confirmed for the handheld hybrid console before Nintendo even revealed what the hardware was.
The Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is not just a mindless port, however, as the game features content that is not present in other versions of the game; starting with the orchestrated soundtrack, Japanese voice-over, and a 16-bit version of the full game.
With all that said, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is still the port of a game that was released 2 years ago on platforms way more powerful than the Nintendo Switch; meaning that some graphical downgrades were to be expected.
Digital Foundry have recently released a thorough analysis that compares the PlayStation 4 and PC versions of the game with the recently released Nintendo Switch edition, and the results are surprisingly favourable in terms of performance.
Other than the game's graphics, all versions of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age are locked at 30 frames per second, and the Nintendo Switch actually manages to keep a rather solid frame rate throughout — albeit with some minor dips during fights. Don't take my word for it, though ,and be sure to check out Digital Foundry's full analysis down below.
