    I do think these Switch 2 editions are going to be a net positive no matter what, and Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (mouthful, right?) is no different. While they’re not doing what they should be for proper upscaling, it’s not a severe downgrade. You do get noticeably improved visuals, a doubled framerate, and some neat new features added to a game that nobody expected to even be touched on again. If some blurriness in the backgrounds isn’t a dealbreaker, and it shouldn’t be, then jump right in to the Switch 2 Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition if you’re seeking a replay or a first time experience with one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

    A version that finally does full justice to this JRPG heavyweight, despite a few lingering signs of its age.

    None of these enhancements and new features make Xenoblade Chronicles substantially better. They merely refine a game of almost incredible scope and direction. If nothing else, this release has been an excuse to play a JRPG that has grown on me to become one of my favourites of all time. It is and remains one of the most intelligent, emotional, beautiful and expansive visions in the genre’s history, so I’m not complaining about its release at all.
