Nope….after this we need Switch 2 upgrade for Xenoblade 2&3 first…..Metroid can wait.

You got a bone with this.
it's the ugly low resolution Metroid Dread's turn.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Glad I waited, then, and I really hope the rest of the series follows suit. This is going to elevate the games so fucking much.

It's a pretty massive difference.

I can't even imagine playing it the original way.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Digital version is $40 on Amazon fyi

I think I'm gonna grab it and start it tonight

The performance issues really got to me in Xenoblade 2, so much so that even though I liked the game, I've never finished it despite several attempts. It just doesn't feel good. So yeah, seeing the trailer for this where everything just looks right has me super optimistic for the future.

The Switch 2's game lineup might be godawful right now, but the Switch 1 games getting improved like this is an absolute godsend.

That's exactly why I dropped Xenoblade 2, as well. I wanted to play it after so beat the first one, but it was just not a great experience.

I'll definitely re-visit with an upgrade.

 

[JORMBO]

Waiting for Xeno2 mostly! But I am not suprised this is first since it is the most recent and probably easiest to upgrade. I hope they get to the others too.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Already playable on the Switch 2 for free

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I only played Xc 1. I got maybe 40 or 50 hours into it but then I went on a long vacation and when I got back all the systems felt foreign to me and I just kind of dropped it. I figured

I think I'm gonna just sit on one through three until they have upgrades and for now play X. It's my understanding that one through three are basically the main line games and X is something completely different.

 

[proandrad]

God is real and he loves us.

Purchasing now.

Allah is good and great. He delivered us this gift, later we get MGS4 remastered, and soon Bloodborne.

 

[Odysses]

Made a new character Seahawk lol Captured the intro in 4k for anyone that wants to see the difference.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

Only took 13 yrs to release a version that was meant to be played.

That's my understanding, too! X is its own thing.

I beat 1 (excellent game), but haven't played 3 because I dropped 2.

I'll definitely beat 2 and 3 once the upgrades are released.

 

[blacktout]

Is the upgrade for xcx: de only? That's scummy if so it doesnt upgrade xcx

The original Xenoblade Chronicles X is only available on the Wii U. Definitive Edition is the Switch 1 version.

Also, if anyone hasn't picked it up yet, the original Switch version is on sale for $39.99 at multiple retailers right now. Sadly, Amazon only has the digital version on sale with the US physical version sold out, but I was able to get the physical version at Walmart just now for that price.

So $45 with the upgrade instead of $65.

Dread's resolution isnt as bad as XC2. That game really needs the update.

 

[ultrazilla]

4k and 60fps added - available now (5$), physical version launches on April 16th

I will FINALLY, GLADLY buy this game now for my Nintendo Switch 2 after holding out literally for years in hopes of this very moment(a better, updated version coming out).

Going in mostly blind. Do I have to play any other games in the series to understand this one? Cheers!

 

[hardwood007]

Ok. Sell me on it.

Xenoblade chronicles 1 I completed and it was a slog…. It did not hold up. I think I gave it a 6/10 because combat was mindless, the middle of the game felt horribly paced, but the ending made it worth going through.

XBC2 I'm maybe 15 hours in and put it down. Just not feeling it at all.

Would you say this is better than those games in the narrative and pacing department? Is combat more engaging?

I was about 65% through xenoblade chronicles 2 and quit it, due to an annoying boss fight, and also I had been feeling quite frustrated with the game and that particular boss fight was the last straw.

I still have xenoblade chronicles 1 unopened. Wondering if I should start it, since xenoblade chronicles 2 left a bad taste in my mouth.

Did you prefer 1 over 2?

It should be its own thing but I don't know how the new ending ties itself into the series. I guess it is time for me to find out since I've been waiting for this update since June of last year.

Idk that I prefer either. 2 has better combat, visuals, and systems.

1 has better characters from what I saw, and again the story pay out was what saved the game. It has dull combat and bloat galore.

I wonder if Xeno X remedies any of this?

I'm ok to have more Switch1 games get a proper upgrade and S2 version. So much I hadn't played but even better if the upgrade is...free. ideally.

Like, I don't really care for anything Switch 2 exclusive right now. Great for backlog.
