With the disappointing sales and the NX on the horizon, the future of the Wii U isn't looking too bright. Nintendo's successor the Wii still has a lot to offer, now more than ever.
Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch 2 adds 60fps gameplay and up to 4K resolution through a $4.99 upgrade pack now available digitally.
Playing it right now! It is awesome! Good thing I held myself back from buying this last year. Now I can't wait for XC2 and XC3 to have the same enhancements and upgrade.
Honestly, it’s kind of bizarre how rough native Switch players had it with this game for years. Aside from the original Wii U release, Xenoblade has pretty much been a series that felt better on emulators than on the actual hardware, mainly because of the blurry image quality and unstable frame rates.
It’s good to finally see an official version of the game that doesn’t look terrible and apparently is stable.
This is exactly why hardware matters to a decent extent.
It effectively took a 900p@30fps, maxed it to 1080p, then used DLSS to upscale it 4x in resolution to render at 4K, while also doubling frame rate.
Nintendo has put eight different Switch games on sale, including Super Mario RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Zelda: Link's Awakening, and more.
A Xenoblade Chronicles PC port has been listed by Microsoft as an officially supported Microsoft Game Assist title.
Hmmm interesting. Hopefully true, liking the slowly but surely partnership between the big 3. Just imagine all the xenoblade games officially on pc. I think mcsft going 3rd party but still making consoles fits them.
Xenoblade chronicles X is not there
Either removed or the picture shown was edited, but it is currently not there
I don't see this happening. Nintendo has said the "Only place to play a Nintendo game, will be on a Nintendo console!". Yes I know people are using emulators, but that isn't what Nintendo intended.
MAYBE, if Nintendo does decide to port X over, it's because it is an Xenoblade game that is stand alone.
X, is my favorite Xenoblade game in the Series, because of Skells" flying your Skell and battling with them feels great!
The Wii U had so much potential that was squandered by terrible marketing.
You got that right. I think that was the only reason why it didn't catch on.
I never gave it much attention. As someone mentioned, the marketing was bad. Not only that, but they didn't do much in advancing to meet the expectations of "next gen." I have to say the times I have played a Wii U I did enjoy it, but I think the saving grace for it IS ONLY the fact that it's Nintendo and many of the franchises associated with Nintendo will draw people no matter what. Otherwise it may have went the way of the OUYA... anyone remember that?
I've had a great experience with the Wii U. I play xenoblade on the gamepad while my kids fight over the ps4 and pc lol.
