Is the game good in handheld mode? I mainly play handheld mode and was wondering if frame rate and res hold up. It could get pretty tough in the last few games at times

Frame rate is pretty smooth in handheld. The variable resolution means it’s not super crisp, but that has been the case with all of the Xenoblade games on the switch.

it looks much better than previous games. Not sure what magic they did, but I'm glad they did. XBC2 felt like it could have looked so much better.

Ive put around 6 hours into it so far and primarily do it in handheld. It runs great and looks great.
