Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Impressions – Upgrade Comparisons & More

After starting up Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on the new Nintendo Switch 2, I loaded both an old save file and began a new game to check the opening sequence. The biggest improvement seems to be in how smoothly the game runs. While the graphics are noticeably sharper, issues like objects popping into view haven’t been fixed. When played on a TV in 4K, the game also still lacks effective anti-aliasing. This new version is definitely better than the original on the older Switch, but the visual improvements are mostly about increased clarity, not a complete overhaul.

Hands-On Preview: Denshattack!: If Tony Hawk Loved Trains

I really enjoyed the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 remake, but since Skate 3 came out in 2010, I haven’t found a brand new skateboarding game that really captured my attention.
