Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch

The product came in perfect condition—no scratches, dents, or scuffs! I can’t wait to play this game as soon as I finish going through my backlog, haha!

Be careful to Just play a few hours Daily because the History is gonna turn so good.

I never had the chance to play this on the Wii. I am glad it was ported over to the switch for multiple reasons, but the primary being that it is now a portable game. Xenoblade Chronicles offers a moderately in depth aspect to a really easy to play storyline with a different feel. It has some great Character development and you can get lost in the sidequests for hours. Which leads to the only thing I do not like, that is the huge maps that you have to spend hours running across to complete the sidequests early on. But if you are looking for a time wasting post apocalyptic world to live in, Get this game! ESRB rating is Teen.

I played this game for the first time on Wii about six years ago and it instantly became one of my all time favorites. The setting, story, world design, characters, music, art direction, and combat system all came together to make it one of those games that you will always remember. The only really negative things I can say about a now 10 yr. old Wii game are the SD graphics look bad in some places, especially the character models, and the very basic quest log can make some sidequests a pain. If the graphics and quest structure were the only things to get major overhauls for this Definitive Edition release I would have been satisfied with that. I considered the game near perfect as it was. They aren't though. Extra epilogue content was added, loading times are way faster, menus are cleaner, the user interface is improved. They even took what was one of my favorite video game soundtracks ever and remastered it with mostly amazing results. Put simply, they took an already classic game and made it better. Buy it. If you enjoy games beyond the casual Mario Kart with friends but you've never played it, it deserves your attention. Even if you have played it I consider the upgrade big enough to rediscover why this game is rightfully held up as a cult classic.

I highly recommend Xenoblade Chronicles especially the Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch. This is an official Nintendo game with official Nintendo characters, it doesn't get cooler than that! This game is excellent. It does have a bit of a learning curve but that is expected from a JRPG. This game has awesome cutscenes, a big world to explore, great voice acting and now made even better in the definitive edition. They even updated and including new user friendly features and soundtrack. This is a must have title for any Nintendo fan.

At first, I wasn’t too sure whether I’d like this game or not, but after playing it for a few weeks now, I’m really enjoying it. I love the exploration and the gameplay is slightly different than what I’m used to but I absolutely love this game.

Now a lot of people have debated whether this is considered a remake or not. I can tell you that many agree that it is. Character models and textures were redone with the Xenoblade 2 engine. With better refinement that addressed the issues the engine had. Many people have been making a big deal about the lower resolutions in handheld mode. Yeah, it dips but it’s not nearly as bad as everyone is making it seem. It’s not nearly as bad as 2 was in handheld mode. A bunch of pointless drama that was brought up for YouTube clickbait/views. If you have a Switch lite, the higher ppi makes it look great in handheld mode. So that would be the most ideal way to play it in handheld if you want it to look as good as possible.

Fantastic game. I'm not really into jrpgs much but this game was a bit of a gateway on the switch. Combat is much different than I'm used to but it works. The story and world are both really stunning and beautiful. It takes dozens of hours to even get through the story though. I think I finished with 80-100 hours and it was well worth it.
