VGChartz's Evan Norris: "A lot of video game enthusiasts complain about remasters, but I think they're missing the forest for the trees. The video game industry sees thousands upon thousands of games released each and every year; who cares if a handful are remasters of old games? If anything, they're a net positive. They shine a spotlight on underplayed games of yesteryear or bring old classics to the attention of a brand new generation. That's certainly the case with this year's shortlist, which includes a graphical overhaul of the legendary action-RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion; an expanded remaster of fan-favorite Final Fantasy Tactics; a return visit to 1930s Tokyo in Raidou Remastered; and a second chance at stardom for one of the very finest WiiU games, Xenoblade Chronicles X."
Retailers are now starting to take pre-orders for The Art of Final Fantasy Tactics.
I want to get it but I’ll probably buy a game instead. With the state of the world I’ve been tightening my budget and putting more of my money into a higher percentage of physical assets just in case the markets and the dollar totally shit the bed. Times are strange
CC writes, "Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Switch 2 Upgrade is out, but it's bizarrely priced with some issues that need to be addressed."
When I saw there was a 60fps patch note after buying it for Switch and playing maybe 7 hours, I stopped. I paid for the upgrade, and am glad I did, BUT it does need some work to make it as good as it should be, with paid DLC! Load times are much better on the Switch 2 version! Definitely an improvement over the OG Wii U times and the OG Switch.
If you like RPGS, and want to explore a massive open world, that is rewarding and now runs the way it should (60FPS) this could be a fantastic game for you! The upgrade to dynamic 4K could use some work, but it still looks far better than the OG Wii U Release. I hope there is a patch that addresses the 4K.
Just a heads up, until you progress to about chapter 4, it's a learning curve. Also, Skells are fantastic, but you have to put time into the game to 'earn' one. Once you do, it really opens up the game.
Glad it got a Switch 2 Update, but a little more polish would be great! For $5 it's worth upgrading, IMO just for 60fps. I loved the game though. So...
DF stated that the update is basically a patched 60fps but everything else is kinda botched at least with the first version. Unsold me on buying it. Might look at it again if the quality takes a big jump. Paying for a bad update in no bueno.
Just started playing this game. I’ll pay for the update once everything gets fixed. Maybe.
Look, we get it! You don't like Switch, and certainly doubt you even own one! X is a fantastic game, and the patch locks in 60fps! The graphics are dynamic 4K, and look good! For someone who hasn't even played the Switch 2 games you bash, you always have something negative to say!
Seriously, 90% of your comments are negative!
"Upgrade Is Good But Needs Work"
yeah...those work should have been done BEFORE selling it. the game was originally a Wii U game for god sake, they've had so much time to "work" on it, but they didn't. you know why? Because this is the version they INTENDED to deliver from the very beginning! minimum effort, maximum profit! it's the Nintendo way
The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition gives an already excellent game that 4K/60fps glow-up.
Totally worth the wait guys. This game is fantastic. High resolution with 60fps is really great to play.
