last years Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition It was important for a few reasons. It was the last major first-party Switch game before the arrival of the Switch 2 in June, and the last doomed Wii U game to be given a second life on Nintendo’s infinitely more successful console. Nearly a year later, the Switch 2 update for one of the most technically impressive games ever published by Nintendo has finally arrived.
somewhat ridiculous title Xenoblade Chronicles (You’re feeling like Nintendo has started a naming convention it might regret here), the updated version of Monolith Soft’s massive sci-fi RPG now supports 60fps performance and 4K resolution when docked to a TV.
As impressive as the Switch remake of the 2015 Wii U game was, given the frankly absurd size of its open-world setting, you could feel the hardware creaking under its weight every time you booted up the game, so this patch was much needed. Unfortunately the graphical and performance enhancements aren’t free for anyone who already has the Switch version Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. A $5 upgrade pack is available on the eShop, and the Switch 2 game costs $65. A physical version is also coming on April 16th.
Xenoblade Chronicles (Again, won’t someone please think of us writers) was the last of several Xenoblade Chronicles games to make their way to the Switch. It is slightly different from other entries in the series, with its tight sci-fi story, emphasis on side quests, and completely seamless open world to explore. Plus, stick with the game long enough and eventually you can fly around Mira’s entire planet in a giant mech, which is as fun as it sounds.
Like other games in the series, xenoblade chronicles x This is a standalone experience, so don’t worry about joining in if you’ve never played before. The series’ signature MMO-like hybrid real-time combat system takes a little time to get used to, but it’s what makes these games stand out from other RPG series.
Other Xenoblade games in the Switch library, which are Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, xenoblade chronicles 2 And xenoblade chronicles 3Haven’t received Switch 2 updates yet, but hopefully those will arrive eventually.
