Not in a the Switch just out of nowhere. Not in a the Switch just out of nowhere. Not in a Nintendo Direct, not in any like Nintendo Direct, not in any like Nintendo Direct, not in any like anticipated like leadup or anything.

anticipated like leadup or anything. anticipated like leadup or anything. Just a random shadow drop. That's kind Just a random shadow drop. That's kind Just a random shadow drop. That's kind of hilarious, but we'll we'll take it. of hilarious, but we'll we'll take it. of hilarious, but we'll we'll take it. Nintendo just loves to do this with Nintendo just loves to do this with Nintendo just loves to do this with Xenolade, it seems. And someone has Xenolade, it seems. And someone has Xenolade, it seems. And someone has pointed this out that every big major pointed this out that every big major pointed this out that every big major Xenolade announcement ever since Future Xenolade announcement ever since Future Xenolade announcement ever since Future Redeemed has been done like this. So, Redeemed has been done like this. So, Redeemed has been done like this. So, that's kind of weird. Nintendo, I hope that's kind of weird. Nintendo, I hope that's kind of weird. Nintendo, I hope you don't shadow drop Xenolade 4. Don't, you don't shadow drop Xenolade 4. Don't, you don't shadow drop Xenolade 4. Don't, please don't do that. So, at first please don't do that. So, at first please don't do that. So, at first glance, I will say when I first saw this glance, I will say when I first saw this glance, I will say when I first saw this trailer, when I was in my office having trailer, when I was in my office having trailer, when I was in my office having breakfast, I thought it looked amazing. breakfast, I thought it looked amazing. breakfast, I thought it looked amazing. And just seeing Xenolade X in 60 fps And just seeing Xenolade X in 60 fps And just seeing Xenolade X in 60 fps felt absolutely unreal. But I, as well felt absolutely unreal. But I, as well felt absolutely unreal. But I, as well as a few people who have been playing as a few people who have been playing as a few people who have been playing this Nintendo Switch 2 edition, have a this Nintendo Switch 2 edition, have a this Nintendo Switch 2 edition, have a few issues with this. So, the first few issues with this. So, the first few issues with this. So, the first thing I want to talk about is right now thing I want to talk about is right now thing I want to talk about is right now it just seems like a normal frame rate it just seems like a normal frame rate it just seems like a normal frame rate and resolution upgrade to bump the game and resolution upgrade to bump the game and resolution upgrade to bump the game up to 4K 60fps. But doesn't this remind up to 4K 60fps. But doesn't this remind up to 4K 60fps. But doesn't this remind you of other upgrades that we've gotten you of other upgrades that we've gotten you of other upgrades that we've gotten in the Switch 2 era that are kind of in the Switch 2 era that are kind of in the Switch 2 era that are kind of quote unquote bare minimum that just did quote unquote bare minimum that just did quote unquote bare minimum that just did resolution and frame rate? Well, the resolution and frame rate? Well, the resolution and frame rate? Well, the ones that I can think of are Super Mario ones that I can think of are Super Mario ones that I can think of are Super Mario Odyssey, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and Odyssey, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and Odyssey, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and the 2D Zelda game. So that's Link's the 2D Zelda game. So that's Link's the 2D Zelda game. So that's Link's Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom. Those Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom. Those Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom. Those are the ones that just pop into my mind are the ones that just pop into my mind are the ones that just pop into my mind right now. But here's the kicker. Those right now. But here's the kicker. Those right now. But here's the kicker. Those games were free upgrades. If you already games were free upgrades. If you already games were free upgrades. If you already own them on the Switch One, just pop own them on the Switch One, just pop own them on the Switch One, just pop them in, hit download, and you get them them in, hit download, and you get them them in, hit download, and you get them for free. No additional cost. But

for free. No additional cost. But for free. No additional cost. But Xenolade Chronicles X is not free. It's Xenolade Chronicles X is not free. It's Xenolade Chronicles X is not free. It's five bucks. And at the same time, those five bucks. And at the same time, those five bucks. And at the same time, those games on Switch One, so Pokemon, Zelda, games on Switch One, so Pokemon, Zelda, games on Switch One, so Pokemon, Zelda, and Mario, those were not native Switch and Mario, those were not native Switch and Mario, those were not native Switch 2 games. Those were not Switch 2 2 games. Those were not Switch 2 2 games. Those were not Switch 2 editions. Because when a game becomes a editions. Because when a game becomes a editions. Because when a game becomes a Switch 2 edition, it becomes a native Switch 2 edition, it becomes a native Switch 2 edition, it becomes a native Switch 2 game. I know Nintendo is very Switch 2 game. I know Nintendo is very Switch 2 game. I know Nintendo is very like confusing with this um kind of like confusing with this um kind of like confusing with this um kind of terminology and their marketing and terminology and their marketing and terminology and their marketing and messaging and communication about this messaging and communication about this messaging and communication about this is a little weird, but that's just is a little weird, but that's just is a little weird, but that's just something that I've noticed. This something that I've noticed. This something that I've noticed. This Xenolade upgrade is similar in style to Xenolade upgrade is similar in style to Xenolade upgrade is similar in style to the Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda ones, but the Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda ones, but the Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda ones, but it is branded as a Switch 2 edition. So, it is branded as a Switch 2 edition. So, it is branded as a Switch 2 edition. So, I think that is why they're charging us, I think that is why they're charging us, I think that is why they're charging us, but they're charging like the bare but they're charging like the bare but they're charging like the bare minimum of five bucks, I guess, just minimum of five bucks, I guess, just minimum of five bucks, I guess, just because it is branded a Switch 2 because it is branded a Switch 2 because it is branded a Switch 2 edition, which at the same time, like edition, which at the same time, like edition, which at the same time, like they they could have made it free, but I they they could have made it free, but I they they could have made it free, but I don't know. It's it's whatever. Five don't know. It's it's whatever. Five don't know. It's it's whatever. Five bucks is not really too bad of an asking bucks is not really too bad of an asking bucks is not really too bad of an asking price. It's not breaking the bank or price. It's not breaking the bank or price. It's not breaking the bank or anything, but I'm just thinking about in anything, but I'm just thinking about in anything, but I'm just thinking about in the future if they do this for the other the future if they do this for the other the future if they do this for the other Xenolade games, it'll probably add up.

Xenolade games, it'll probably add up. Xenolade games, it'll probably add up. and putting all four Xenolade games and putting all four Xenolade games and putting all four Xenolade games together, five bucks each, it'll together, five bucks each, it'll together, five bucks each, it'll probably be 20 bucks, which is again not probably be 20 bucks, which is again not probably be 20 bucks, which is again not bad for some of the most technically bad for some of the most technically bad for some of the most technically masterful games Nintendo has ever put masterful games Nintendo has ever put masterful games Nintendo has ever put out with Marvel soft helming them. But out with Marvel soft helming them. But out with Marvel soft helming them. But at the same time, a lot of these just at the same time, a lot of these just at the same time, a lot of these just could be free patches. One thing that is could be free patches. One thing that is could be free patches. One thing that is kind of slightly upsetting about this as kind of slightly upsetting about this as kind of slightly upsetting about this as well, they could have added a little well, they could have added a little well, they could have added a little more like quality of life features into more like quality of life features into more like quality of life features into this as well. no new game plus and still this as well. no new game plus and still this as well. no new game plus and still no event theater. I feel like this is no event theater. I feel like this is no event theater. I feel like this is the only Xenolade game on the Switch the only Xenolade game on the Switch the only Xenolade game on the Switch that doesn't have an event theater. And that doesn't have an event theater. And that doesn't have an event theater. And for us content creators, that is a very for us content creators, that is a very for us content creators, that is a very helpful thing because we can just go helpful thing because we can just go helpful thing because we can just go through the event theater and just watch through the event theater and just watch through the event theater and just watch the cutscenes like it's a fun little the cutscenes like it's a fun little the cutscenes like it's a fun little movie we're watching, but we're movie we're watching, but we're movie we're watching, but we're recording them on our capture guard so recording them on our capture guard so recording them on our capture guard so we can get footage as well. So, we can get footage as well. So, we can get footage as well. So, unfortunately, Xenolade X doesn't have unfortunately, Xenolade X doesn't have unfortunately, Xenolade X doesn't have that. It still forces you to play the that. It still forces you to play the that. It still forces you to play the game, but who cares? You're playing game, but who cares? You're playing game, but who cares? You're playing freaking Xenolade. It's still fun. So, freaking Xenolade. It's still fun. So, freaking Xenolade. It's still fun. So, here is the main issue that many people here is the main issue that many people here is the main issue that many people have been experiencing with the Switch 2 have been experiencing with the Switch 2 have been experiencing with the Switch 2 edition, and it is visual graphical edition, and it is visual graphical edition, and it is visual graphical issues. And I will just be honest and issues. And I will just be honest and issues. And I will just be honest and forthcoming about this. If you came to forthcoming about this. If you came to forthcoming about this. If you came to this video for me to analyze these this video for me to analyze these this video for me to analyze these graphical changes or anything or give graphical changes or anything or give graphical changes or anything or give you a sidebyside comparison or tell you you a sidebyside comparison or tell you you a sidebyside comparison or tell you exactly what graphical blemishes this exactly what graphical blemishes this exactly what graphical blemishes this game is experiencing, I'm going to be game is experiencing, I'm going to be game is experiencing, I'm going to be honest, you probably came to the wrong honest, you probably came to the wrong honest, you probably came to the wrong place because I am one of those people

place because I am one of those people place because I am one of those people who seriously cannot tell the difference who seriously cannot tell the difference who seriously cannot tell the difference between sometimes when a game is 1080p between sometimes when a game is 1080p between sometimes when a game is 1080p and 4K. Of course, when I see footage of and 4K. Of course, when I see footage of and 4K. Of course, when I see footage of Xenolade XDE on my Switch 2 on my 4K TV, Xenolade XDE on my Switch 2 on my 4K TV, Xenolade XDE on my Switch 2 on my 4K TV, like yesterday, I was flying in the like yesterday, I was flying in the like yesterday, I was flying in the Resvel through Salem and Noctalum, and I Resvel through Salem and Noctalum, and I Resvel through Salem and Noctalum, and I could tell that it looked a lot could tell that it looked a lot could tell that it looked a lot smoother, a lot cleaner, a lot crisper, smoother, a lot cleaner, a lot crisper, smoother, a lot cleaner, a lot crisper, but when you put a sideby-side but when you put a sideby-side but when you put a sideby-side comparison, especially with a stylized comparison, especially with a stylized comparison, especially with a stylized game like this, I'm not really going to game like this, I'm not really going to game like this, I'm not really going to be able to tell the difference. And a be able to tell the difference. And a be able to tell the difference. And a lot of my friends were sending me lot of my friends were sending me lot of my friends were sending me screenshots like, "Oh my god, look at screenshots like, "Oh my god, look at screenshots like, "Oh my god, look at this uh graphical blemish. Look at this this uh graphical blemish. Look at this this uh graphical blemish. Look at this uh texture issue here." here. And I had uh texture issue here." here. And I had uh texture issue here." here. And I had to like ask them, guys, can you like to like ask them, guys, can you like to like ask them, guys, can you like actually tell me where in this picture actually tell me where in this picture actually tell me where in this picture the issue is because I I'm not like the issue is because I I'm not like the issue is because I I'm not like brushing it off as like a non-issue, but brushing it off as like a non-issue, but brushing it off as like a non-issue, but I genuinely seriously honestly cannot I genuinely seriously honestly cannot I genuinely seriously honestly cannot tell where the issue is. And that like tell where the issue is. And that like tell where the issue is. And that like some people have an issue with like some people have an issue with like some people have an issue with like differentiating frame rates with 30 and differentiating frame rates with 30 and differentiating frame rates with 30 and 40 and 60 fps, but for me, I'm the weird 40 and 60 fps, but for me, I'm the weird 40 and 60 fps, but for me, I'm the weird one here. I'm the crazy one. Like for one here. I'm the crazy one. Like for one here. I'm the crazy one. Like for me, I just can't tell differences in me, I just can't tell differences in me, I just can't tell differences in resolution. That's just me. Um, yeah, resolution. That's just me. Um, yeah, resolution. That's just me. Um, yeah, but I will say uh with my experience but I will say uh with my experience but I will say uh with my experience playing a little bit of this yesterday, playing a little bit of this yesterday, playing a little bit of this yesterday, I did not really tell many graphical I did not really tell many graphical I did not really tell many graphical issues except for some jagged edges here issues except for some jagged edges here issues except for some jagged edges here and there, but I didn't really care. But and there, but I didn't really care. But and there, but I didn't really care. But from what I can tell, a lot of people on from what I can tell, a lot of people on from what I can tell, a lot of people on social media and a lot of people who are social media and a lot of people who are social media and a lot of people who are making YouTube videos about this are

making YouTube videos about this are making YouTube videos about this are saying that this is actually pretty saying that this is actually pretty saying that this is actually pretty noticeable and it is a pretty shocking noticeable and it is a pretty shocking noticeable and it is a pretty shocking kind of release. Shocking in the sense kind of release. Shocking in the sense kind of release. Shocking in the sense that this was not really polished and that this was not really polished and that this was not really polished and patched before the official launch. And patched before the official launch. And patched before the official launch. And some people are even saying that this some people are even saying that this some people are even saying that this isn't something that they would have isn't something that they would have isn't something that they would have expected from Monoloft. And of course, expected from Monoloft. And of course, expected from Monoloft. And of course, Monoloft is always at the top of their Monoloft is always at the top of their Monoloft is always at the top of their game. Like sometimes when they do game. Like sometimes when they do game. Like sometimes when they do release something that's a little messy, release something that's a little messy, release something that's a little messy, a little shoddy, like the original a little shoddy, like the original a little shoddy, like the original release of Xenolade Chronicles 2, the release of Xenolade Chronicles 2, the release of Xenolade Chronicles 2, the the excuse is somewhat valid if you the excuse is somewhat valid if you the excuse is somewhat valid if you understand the situation surrounding understand the situation surrounding understand the situation surrounding that. And also with Xenolade 2, they that. And also with Xenolade 2, they that. And also with Xenolade 2, they came in and did some extensive work and came in and did some extensive work and came in and did some extensive work and they patched that all out. So despite they patched that all out. So despite they patched that all out. So despite some issues in the Switch 2 edition for some issues in the Switch 2 edition for some issues in the Switch 2 edition for Xenolade X, I have no doubt that Xenolade X, I have no doubt that Xenolade X, I have no doubt that Monoloft is going to come in and fix Monoloft is going to come in and fix Monoloft is going to come in and fix this and polish it and just make it look this and polish it and just make it look this and polish it and just make it look and feel a lot better. So, I wouldn't do and feel a lot better. So, I wouldn't do and feel a lot better. So, I wouldn't do on anything right now. But also, this is on anything right now. But also, this is on anything right now. But also, this is coming from me who one, I didn't coming from me who one, I didn't coming from me who one, I didn't experience many issues in docked mode. I experience many issues in docked mode. I experience many issues in docked mode. I can't tell many of these issues that can't tell many of these issues that can't tell many of these issues that people are speaking of unless they people are speaking of unless they people are speaking of unless they really point it out and I'm like, "Oh, really point it out and I'm like, "Oh, really point it out and I'm like, "Oh, that's kind of Yeah, now that you point that's kind of Yeah, now that you point that's kind of Yeah, now that you point it out, I can kind of see what's it out, I can kind of see what's it out, I can kind of see what's happening." But also, another thing is I happening." But also, another thing is I happening." But also, another thing is I also haven't played in handheld mode also haven't played in handheld mode also haven't played in handheld mode yet. And a lot of these issues are being yet. And a lot of these issues are being yet. And a lot of these issues are being experienced in handheld mode, which to experienced in handheld mode, which to experienced in handheld mode, which to me is a little bit disappointing because me is a little bit disappointing because me is a little bit disappointing because I really like playing in handheld mode.

I really like playing in handheld mode. I really like playing in handheld mode. I really almost prioritize playing in I really almost prioritize playing in I really almost prioritize playing in handheld mode. So that's kind of handheld mode. So that's kind of handheld mode. So that's kind of worrisome. Probably I guess maybe worrisome. Probably I guess maybe worrisome. Probably I guess maybe biggest worry about all of this is does biggest worry about all of this is does biggest worry about all of this is does this like point to a precedent of what this like point to a precedent of what this like point to a precedent of what the other games are going to be like the other games are going to be like the other games are going to be like when they get Switch 2 patches or when they get Switch 2 patches or when they get Switch 2 patches or potentially Switch 2 editions. Hopefully potentially Switch 2 editions. Hopefully potentially Switch 2 editions. Hopefully not. I am just kind of assuming that not. I am just kind of assuming that not. I am just kind of assuming that this was a little messy with Xenolade X this was a little messy with Xenolade X this was a little messy with Xenolade X because there's a Wii U game coming over because there's a Wii U game coming over because there's a Wii U game coming over to the Switch and then being ported over to the Switch and then being ported over to the Switch and then being ported over to the Switch 2. So, there's a lot of to the Switch 2. So, there's a lot of to the Switch 2. So, there's a lot of like iffiness and developmental hurdles. like iffiness and developmental hurdles. like iffiness and developmental hurdles. I don't know. I'm not a game developer. I don't know. I'm not a game developer. I don't know. I'm not a game developer. I don't know what kind of struggles they I don't know what kind of struggles they I don't know what kind of struggles they were experiencing with this, but I can were experiencing with this, but I can were experiencing with this, but I can only hope that this is their first kind only hope that this is their first kind only hope that this is their first kind of struggle with the Switch to hardware of struggle with the Switch to hardware of struggle with the Switch to hardware when it comes to patching out their when it comes to patching out their when it comes to patching out their prior games. And hopefully when the prior games. And hopefully when the prior games. And hopefully when the trilogy is patched, it will not be this trilogy is patched, it will not be this trilogy is patched, it will not be this graphically messy. But we'll see. Let me graphically messy. But we'll see. Let me graphically messy. But we'll see. Let me know what you guys think about it in the know what you guys think about it in the know what you guys think about it in the comments below. If you guys are comments below. If you guys are comments below. If you guys are experiencing issues, if you're experiencing issues, if you're experiencing issues, if you're disappointed with the visuals in this, disappointed with the visuals in this, disappointed with the visuals in this, let's be honest about this. Like, as let's be honest about this. Like, as let's be honest about this. Like, as good as Monoloft is, they still can't good as Monoloft is, they still can't good as Monoloft is, they still can't get away with things scot-free. And I'm get away with things scot-free. And I'm get away with things scot-free. And I'm not saying this is bad. Although most of not saying this is bad. Although most of not saying this is bad. Although most of this is very good, and I'm very happy this is very good, and I'm very happy this is very good, and I'm very happy and thankful that we got this after so and thankful that we got this after so and thankful that we got this after so long. But if if we speak out about this, long. But if if we speak out about this, long. But if if we speak out about this, it's going to only get better. So, let it's going to only get better. So, let it's going to only get better. So, let me know what you guys think about it. I me know what you guys think about it. I me know what you guys think about it. I will say, despite all the graphical will say, despite all the graphical will say, despite all the graphical issues and things that I may or may not issues and things that I may or may not issues and things that I may or may not be experiencing and what other people be experiencing and what other people be experiencing and what other people may be experiencing, I think the most

It didn't feel real. It felt experience. It didn't feel real. It felt experience. It didn't feel real. It felt like I was playing some other kind of like I was playing some other kind of like I was playing some other kind of game. And it was the same kind of game. And it was the same kind of game. And it was the same kind of experience that I got when I was playing experience that I got when I was playing experience that I got when I was playing Tears of the Kingdom in 60 fps and ultra Tears of the Kingdom in 60 fps and ultra Tears of the Kingdom in 60 fps and ultra handing and doing all this stuff in 60 handing and doing all this stuff in 60 handing and doing all this stuff in 60 fps.

And I Xenolade X was kind of declining. And I Xenolade X was kind of declining. And I think that was also due to the fact that think that was also due to the fact that think that was also due to the fact that many people were just not going to play many people were just not going to play many people were just not going to play the game or were just waiting for the the game or were just waiting for the the game or were just waiting for the Switch 2 patch. And now here it is. Switch 2 patch. And now here it is. Switch 2 patch. And now here it is.
