Honestly, Xenolade would be a perfect showcase for Xenolade would be a perfect showcase for Xenolade would be a perfect showcase for the Nintendo Switch 2 and what we can the Nintendo Switch 2 and what we can the Nintendo Switch 2 and what we can expect from high-end graphically expect from high-end graphically expect from high-end graphically intensive games in the future of the intensive games in the future of the intensive games in the future of the Switch 2's life cycle. You guys Switch 2's life cycle. You guys Switch 2's life cycle. You guys definitely know Monisoft has their hands definitely know Monisoft has their hands definitely know Monisoft has their hands in so many other games on the Switch One in so many other games on the Switch One in so many other games on the Switch One and even the Switch 2. Of course, we've and even the Switch 2. Of course, we've and even the Switch 2. Of course, we've seen them work on games like Breath of seen them work on games like Breath of seen them work on games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which got Switch 2 editions, and we see how got Switch 2 editions, and we see how got Switch 2 editions, and we see how perfectly they run, how smooth they are perfectly they run, how smooth they are perfectly they run, how smooth they are now in 60 fps, and how amazing they look now in 60 fps, and how amazing they look now in 60 fps, and how amazing they look at 4K and with HDR. And many of us were at 4K and with HDR. And many of us were at 4K and with HDR. And many of us were surprised to even see that Monoloft's surprised to even see that Monoloft's surprised to even see that Monoloft's Kyoto support team has also worked on Kyoto support team has also worked on Kyoto support team has also worked on Mario Kart World, which is also quite an Mario Kart World, which is also quite an Mario Kart World, which is also quite an amazing looking and running game for a amazing looking and running game for a amazing looking and running game for a firstp party launch title.

And after reexperiencing Tears of the Kingdom reexperiencing Tears of the Kingdom reexperiencing Tears of the Kingdom lately on stream, I gotta say Xenolade lately on stream, I gotta say Xenolade lately on stream, I gotta say Xenolade Chronicles upgrades can give us a true Chronicles upgrades can give us a true Chronicles upgrades can give us a true taste of what's coming in the future for taste of what's coming in the future for taste of what's coming in the future for Monoloft as a development team and what Monoloft as a development team and what Monoloft as a development team and what we can expect for openw world RPGs on we can expect for openw world RPGs on we can expect for openw world RPGs on the Nintendo Switch 2. So, I've booted the Nintendo Switch 2. So, I've booted the Nintendo Switch 2. So, I've booted up each of the games on the Switch 2 and up each of the games on the Switch 2 and up each of the games on the Switch 2 and generally they play better. The load

  3. generally they play better. The load generally they play better. The load times are better, the frame rate is times are better, the frame rate is times are better, the frame rate is generally better. Like I'll give you generally better. Like I'll give you generally better. Like I'll give you guys an example. Xenolade Chronicles X. guys an example. Xenolade Chronicles X. guys an example. Xenolade Chronicles X. You guys remember whenever you would You guys remember whenever you would You guys remember whenever you would swap skulls or whenever you would change swap skulls or whenever you would change swap skulls or whenever you would change characters in the overworld, whenever characters in the overworld, whenever characters in the overworld, whenever they had skells assigned to them, you they had skells assigned to them, you they had skells assigned to them, you would often get a lot of frame drops or would often get a lot of frame drops or would often get a lot of frame drops or a little bit of jittering whenever you a little bit of jittering whenever you a little bit of jittering whenever you were going in and out of the menu. To were going in and out of the menu. To were going in and out of the menu. To me, that doesn't really happen anymore me, that doesn't really happen anymore me, that doesn't really happen anymore whenever I play the game on the Switch, whenever I play the game on the Switch, whenever I play the game on the Switch, too. So, that's pretty nice and too. So, that's pretty nice and too. So, that's pretty nice and noticeable. But some of my friends who noticeable. But some of my friends who noticeable. But some of my friends who have very eagle eyes have noticed this. have very eagle eyes have noticed this. have very eagle eyes have noticed this. And many other qualified content And many other qualified content And many other qualified content creators and tech enthusiasts and creators and tech enthusiasts and creators and tech enthusiasts and analysists have noticed that the analysists have noticed that the analysists have noticed that the resolution scaling is off for a lot of resolution scaling is off for a lot of resolution scaling is off for a lot of these games because a lot of them are these games because a lot of them are these games because a lot of them are just running off of backwards just running off of backwards just running off of backwards compatibility. And a lot of that will compatibility. And a lot of that will compatibility. And a lot of that will help boost the game's performance with help boost the game's performance with help boost the game's performance with just the raw hardware itself. but native just the raw hardware itself. but native just the raw hardware itself. but native upgrades to boost the resolution to make upgrades to boost the resolution to make upgrades to boost the resolution to make it look actually much better in 4K and it look actually much better in 4K and it look actually much better in 4K and 60fps. Something like what Pokemon 60fps. Something like what Pokemon 60fps. Something like what Pokemon Scarlet and Violet got. That would be Scarlet and Violet got. That would be Scarlet and Violet got. That would be even better than what we have right now.

  4. even better than what we have right now. even better than what we have right now. I don't really want to talk about the I don't really want to talk about the I don't really want to talk about the specifics because I don't really know as specifics because I don't really know as specifics because I don't really know as much. I'm not much of a graphically much. I'm not much of a graphically much. I'm not much of a graphically intensive like tech enthusiast or like intensive like tech enthusiast or like intensive like tech enthusiast or like an analysist or whatever. I also haven't an analysist or whatever. I also haven't an analysist or whatever. I also haven't noticed this as much personally because noticed this as much personally because noticed this as much personally because I'm not very good at noticing like the I'm not very good at noticing like the I'm not very good at noticing like the differences between resolution and like differences between resolution and like differences between resolution and like texturing and all that stuff, but I have texturing and all that stuff, but I have texturing and all that stuff, but I have supposedly heard that Xenolade supposedly heard that Xenolade supposedly heard that Xenolade Chronicles X and Xenolade Chronicles 3 Chronicles X and Xenolade Chronicles 3 Chronicles X and Xenolade Chronicles 3 look a lot worse on the Switch 2 because look a lot worse on the Switch 2 because look a lot worse on the Switch 2 because of the downscaling. And a lot of people of the downscaling. And a lot of people of the downscaling. And a lot of people have even said that it just looks have even said that it just looks have even said that it just looks generally better on the Switch OLED generally better on the Switch OLED generally better on the Switch OLED docked. I think a lot of other videos, I docked. I think a lot of other videos, I docked. I think a lot of other videos, I think uh NWR did a whole video on that think uh NWR did a whole video on that think uh NWR did a whole video on that as well. You guys can check that out. as well. You guys can check that out. as well. You guys can check that out. But basically what I'm saying is the But basically what I'm saying is the But basically what I'm saying is the games run fine with backwards games run fine with backwards games run fine with backwards compatibility, but getting the true raw compatibility, but getting the true raw compatibility, but getting the true raw power from the Switch 2 will make them power from the Switch 2 will make them power from the Switch 2 will make them look and run even better, and it'll just look and run even better, and it'll just look and run even better, and it'll just give them new life. And speaking of give them new life. And speaking of give them new life. And speaking of Xenolade Chronicles X Definitive Xenolade Chronicles X Definitive Xenolade Chronicles X Definitive Edition, let's talk about that for a Edition, let's talk about that for a Edition, let's talk about that for a bit. Almost every single person in the bit. Almost every single person in the bit. Almost every single person in the comments of my last video about how the comments of my last video about how the comments of my last video about how the hype for Xenolade Chronicles X has kind hype for Xenolade Chronicles X has kind hype for Xenolade Chronicles X has kind of like dwindled and kind of sort of of like dwindled and kind of sort of of like dwindled and kind of sort of died. A lot of them were saying that died. A lot of them were saying that died. A lot of them were saying that they're waiting for a free upgrade to they're waiting for a free upgrade to they're waiting for a free upgrade to either buy the game, play the game, or either buy the game, play the game, or either buy the game, play the game, or continue the game. I know a lot of continue the game. I know a lot of continue the game. I know a lot of people who haven't started Chapter 13 people who haven't started Chapter 13 people who haven't started Chapter 13 because they're waiting on a free because they're waiting on a free because they're waiting on a free upgrade for the game. And a lot of upgrade for the game. And a lot of upgrade for the game. And a lot of people even in the comments are saying, people even in the comments are saying, people even in the comments are saying, "I'm not going to buy this game until it "I'm not going to buy this game until it "I'm not going to buy this game until it gets the upgrade because that's what gets the upgrade because that's what gets the upgrade because that's what they're waiting to play the game with."

  5. they're waiting to play the game with." they're waiting to play the game with." Xenolade X arguably needs the update the Xenolade X arguably needs the update the Xenolade X arguably needs the update the most, but that could also be said for most, but that could also be said for most, but that could also be said for Xenolade 2. We'll we'll get to Xenolade Xenolade 2. We'll we'll get to Xenolade Xenolade 2. We'll we'll get to Xenolade 2 in just a bit, but Xenolade X could 2 in just a bit, but Xenolade X could 2 in just a bit, but Xenolade X could look honestly the best out of these four look honestly the best out of these four look honestly the best out of these four games on the Switch 2. It being a games on the Switch 2. It being a games on the Switch 2. It being a remaster of a Wii U game already makes remaster of a Wii U game already makes remaster of a Wii U game already makes it look phenomenal on the Switch One. I it look phenomenal on the Switch One. I it look phenomenal on the Switch One. I honestly personally think it looks the honestly personally think it looks the honestly personally think it looks the best out of the four games on the Switch best out of the four games on the Switch best out of the four games on the Switch One or the Switch OLED because, correct One or the Switch OLED because, correct One or the Switch OLED because, correct me if I'm wrong, I think the game me if I'm wrong, I think the game me if I'm wrong, I think the game actually runs at native 1080p whereas actually runs at native 1080p whereas actually runs at native 1080p whereas the other games do not. That already the other games do not. That already the other games do not. That already makes it the best looking Xenolade game. makes it the best looking Xenolade game. makes it the best looking Xenolade game. Imagine seeing Noctulum at night in 4K. Imagine seeing Noctulum at night in 4K. Imagine seeing Noctulum at night in 4K. Or imagine flying the Herzel in 60fps. Or imagine flying the Herzel in 60fps. Or imagine flying the Herzel in 60fps. That would just be so so so amazing. A That would just be so so so amazing. A That would just be so so so amazing. A total dream come true. And also, why am total dream come true. And also, why am total dream come true. And also, why am I even talking about this whole 60 fps I even talking about this whole 60 fps I even talking about this whole 60 fps upgrade as if it's like a definitive upgrade as if it's like a definitive upgrade as if it's like a definitive thing? And many people in the comments thing? And many people in the comments thing? And many people in the comments are saying when the 60 fps patch happens are saying when the 60 fps patch happens are saying when the 60 fps patch happens or when the Switch 2 edition happens or or when the Switch 2 edition happens or or when the Switch 2 edition happens or we're almost talking about it as if it's we're almost talking about it as if it's we're almost talking about it as if it's inevitable. Why is that the case? Well, inevitable. Why is that the case? Well, inevitable. Why is that the case? Well, before the game even came out or shortly before the game even came out or shortly before the game even came out or shortly around the time of its release, a lot of around the time of its release, a lot of around the time of its release, a lot of people went inside the code of the game people went inside the code of the game people went inside the code of the game and kind of data minded and saw that and kind of data minded and saw that and kind of data minded and saw that there was sort of like a 60 fps toggle.

  6. there was sort of like a 60 fps toggle. there was sort of like a 60 fps toggle. If you toggle that on on the Switch one If you toggle that on on the Switch one If you toggle that on on the Switch one version, it really wouldn't do anything. version, it really wouldn't do anything. version, it really wouldn't do anything. And I think it would cause a lot of And I think it would cause a lot of And I think it would cause a lot of problems with the game. And even on the problems with the game. And even on the problems with the game. And even on the Switch 2 version, it doesn't do much. Switch 2 version, it doesn't do much. Switch 2 version, it doesn't do much. But the fact that that's in the game is But the fact that that's in the game is But the fact that that's in the game is kind of indicative that it's probably kind of indicative that it's probably kind of indicative that it's probably going to get something in the near going to get something in the near going to get something in the near future hopefully. So, we'll we'll see future hopefully. So, we'll we'll see future hopefully. So, we'll we'll see about that. I don't want to make any about that. I don't want to make any about that. I don't want to make any definitive claims, but the fact that definitive claims, but the fact that definitive claims, but the fact that that's in the code is very telling. And that's in the code is very telling. And that's in the code is very telling. And I hope that means we're going to get a I hope that means we're going to get a I hope that means we're going to get a 60fps and resolution bump with this 60fps and resolution bump with this 60fps and resolution bump with this game. Hopefully, it's free. If it's a game. Hopefully, it's free. If it's a game. Hopefully, it's free. If it's a Switch 2 edition, hopefully it's not too Switch 2 edition, hopefully it's not too Switch 2 edition, hopefully it's not too much of a fee that we'd have to pay for much of a fee that we'd have to pay for much of a fee that we'd have to pay for this. And like I mentioned in my last this. And like I mentioned in my last this. And like I mentioned in my last video, Zelda Chronicles X has kind of video, Zelda Chronicles X has kind of video, Zelda Chronicles X has kind of lost a lot of momentum and hype. It was lost a lot of momentum and hype. It was lost a lot of momentum and hype. It was released at a very, very bad time. And released at a very, very bad time. And released at a very, very bad time. And honestly, a Switch 2 edition or upgrade honestly, a Switch 2 edition or upgrade honestly, a Switch 2 edition or upgrade can really revitalize the interest in can really revitalize the interest in can really revitalize the interest in this game. And based off of the August this game. And based off of the August this game. And based off of the August 1st investor meeting, we still don't 1st investor meeting, we still don't 1st investor meeting, we still don't know if this game has even sold a know if this game has even sold a know if this game has even sold a million copies. that's sort of up in the million copies. that's sort of up in the million copies. that's sort of up in the air because based off of the timing of air because based off of the timing of air because based off of the timing of its release, maybe we won't even know an its release, maybe we won't even know an its release, maybe we won't even know an update on its sales at all. Maybe it has update on its sales at all. Maybe it has update on its sales at all. Maybe it has hit a million. We're just not going to hit a million. We're just not going to hit a million. We're just not going to know about that. But it's been 4 months know about that. But it's been 4 months know about that. But it's been 4 months since release. And if hypothetically ZW since release. And if hypothetically ZW since release. And if hypothetically ZW Chronicles X has not hit 4 million, that Chronicles X has not hit 4 million, that Chronicles X has not hit 4 million, that is sort of unfortunate because for the is sort of unfortunate because for the is sort of unfortunate because for the other games in the series, they hit that other games in the series, they hit that other games in the series, they hit that 1 million mark a lot sooner. Like 1 million mark a lot sooner. Like 1 million mark a lot sooner. Like Xenolade Chronicles 2 needed just about Xenolade Chronicles 2 needed just about Xenolade Chronicles 2 needed just about a month to hit 1 million sales. Xenolade a month to hit 1 million sales. Xenolade a month to hit 1 million sales. Xenolade Chronicles Definitive Edition needed Chronicles Definitive Edition needed Chronicles Definitive Edition needed just about a month to hit 1.3 million

  7. just about a month to hit 1.3 million just about a month to hit 1.3 million sales and Xenolade Chronicles 3 needed sales and Xenolade Chronicles 3 needed sales and Xenolade Chronicles 3 needed approximately 2 months to reach 1.7 approximately 2 months to reach 1.7 approximately 2 months to reach 1.7 million sales. So if hypothetically, I million sales. So if hypothetically, I million sales. So if hypothetically, I don't want to say definitively Xenolade don't want to say definitively Xenolade don't want to say definitively Xenolade XDE has not hit a million, but if it's XDE has not hit a million, but if it's XDE has not hit a million, but if it's been 4 months since release and it been 4 months since release and it been 4 months since release and it hasn't hit a million, that is uh hasn't hit a million, that is uh hasn't hit a million, that is uh slightly unfortunate. And I do think if slightly unfortunate. And I do think if slightly unfortunate. And I do think if there is a Switch 2 free upgrade or a there is a Switch 2 free upgrade or a there is a Switch 2 free upgrade or a Switch 2 edition, it could maybe bring Switch 2 edition, it could maybe bring Switch 2 edition, it could maybe bring in a little more interest and hype in a little more interest and hype in a little more interest and hype around the game and it'll help it sell a around the game and it'll help it sell a around the game and it'll help it sell a little bit better than it is right now. little bit better than it is right now. little bit better than it is right now. But all this talk brings me back to what But all this talk brings me back to what But all this talk brings me back to what I was asking in the very beginning of I was asking in the very beginning of I was asking in the very beginning of this video. Where are these free this video. Where are these free this video. Where are these free upgrades for these games and upgrades for these games and upgrades for these games and specifically for Xenolade Chronicles X specifically for Xenolade Chronicles X specifically for Xenolade Chronicles X Definitive Edition? Because in my Definitive Edition? Because in my Definitive Edition? Because in my opinion, it is almost a little too late. opinion, it is almost a little too late. opinion, it is almost a little too late. Like I said, the hype and the interest Like I said, the hype and the interest Like I said, the hype and the interest for Xenolade X has kind of like for Xenolade X has kind of like for Xenolade X has kind of like dwindled. It's not really at the same dwindled. It's not really at the same dwindled. It's not really at the same peak as it was pre-release and at the peak as it was pre-release and at the peak as it was pre-release and at the release. So, I kind of think that they release. So, I kind of think that they release. So, I kind of think that they missed their opportunity. And I honestly missed their opportunity. And I honestly missed their opportunity. And I honestly think the best time for a Switch to think the best time for a Switch to think the best time for a Switch to upgrade for Xenolade X would have been upgrade for Xenolade X would have been upgrade for Xenolade X would have been literally June 5th, the launch of the literally June 5th, the launch of the literally June 5th, the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. because during that Nintendo Switch 2. because during that Nintendo Switch 2. because during that Switch 2 Direct, I was hoping to see Switch 2 Direct, I was hoping to see Switch 2 Direct, I was hoping to see news of the Xenolade X free upgrade and news of the Xenolade X free upgrade and news of the Xenolade X free upgrade and it wasn't there and I was a little it wasn't there and I was a little it wasn't there and I was a little shocked and I waited the weeks following shocked and I waited the weeks following shocked and I waited the weeks following the Direct leading up to release and the Direct leading up to release and the Direct leading up to release and still no news of the upgrade and then in still no news of the upgrade and then in still no news of the upgrade and then in my mind I thought well they just kind of my mind I thought well they just kind of my mind I thought well they just kind of dropped the ball on it because the more dropped the ball on it because the more dropped the ball on it because the more and more we have to wait post Switch to

  8. and more we have to wait post Switch to and more we have to wait post Switch to launch and post Xenoblade XD's release launch and post Xenoblade XD's release launch and post Xenoblade XD's release the more the hype and the interest would the more the hype and the interest would the more the hype and the interest would just subsequently dip. I know a lot of just subsequently dip. I know a lot of just subsequently dip. I know a lot of people were saying that Xenolade XDE people were saying that Xenolade XDE people were saying that Xenolade XDE should have also probably even been a should have also probably even been a should have also probably even been a launch title for the Switch 2 itself as launch title for the Switch 2 itself as launch title for the Switch 2 itself as a Switch 2 game only just to capitalize a Switch 2 game only just to capitalize a Switch 2 game only just to capitalize on the better hardware of the Switch 2. on the better hardware of the Switch 2. on the better hardware of the Switch 2. But I personally disagree. I'm happy But I personally disagree. I'm happy But I personally disagree. I'm happy that they released it on the Switch One that they released it on the Switch One that they released it on the Switch One and I'm glad that it's getting the and I'm glad that it's getting the and I'm glad that it's getting the opportunity to be played by the massive opportunity to be played by the massive opportunity to be played by the massive Switch One install base. Think about 13 Switch One install base. Think about 13 Switch One install base. Think about 13 million users on the Wii U versus million users on the Wii U versus million users on the Wii U versus 150 million users on the Switch One. And 150 million users on the Switch One. And 150 million users on the Switch One. And when it comes to the Switch 2, if it was when it comes to the Switch 2, if it was when it comes to the Switch 2, if it was going to be a Switch 2 only game, then I going to be a Switch 2 only game, then I going to be a Switch 2 only game, then I guess that would have helped to have a guess that would have helped to have a guess that would have helped to have a massive openw world RPG available day massive openw world RPG available day massive openw world RPG available day one on the Switch 2. But like I said, one on the Switch 2. But like I said, one on the Switch 2. But like I said, the Switch One has an install base of the Switch One has an install base of the Switch One has an install base of 150 million users, and the Switch 2 is 150 million users, and the Switch 2 is 150 million users, and the Switch 2 is doing very well. It's selling very fast doing very well. It's selling very fast doing very well. It's selling very fast and it's already hit 6 million units and it's already hit 6 million units and it's already hit 6 million units sold, but that's also 6 million users sold, but that's also 6 million users sold, but that's also 6 million users versus 150 million users. And a lot of versus 150 million users. And a lot of versus 150 million users.

One reason this launch and hype as well. One reason this launch and hype as well. One reason this could be taking so long is because they could be taking so long is because they could be taking so long is because they probably just aren't ready yet. A lot of probably just aren't ready yet. A lot of probably just aren't ready yet. A lot of us thought they would be ready at the us thought they would be ready at the us thought they would be ready at the launch of the Switch 2 or even earlier launch of the Switch 2 or even earlier launch of the Switch 2 or even earlier than that, but it's probably taking a than that, but it's probably taking a than that, but it's probably taking a little bit more time. A lot of my little bit more time. A lot of my little bit more time. A lot of my friends were telling me that despite friends were telling me that despite friends were telling me that despite Xenolade X having some of the 60fps Xenolade X having some of the 60fps Xenolade X having some of the 60fps options in the code, there's a lot of options in the code, there's a lot of options in the code, there's a lot of things that might need to be adjusted things that might need to be adjusted things that might need to be adjusted like the B button prompts and overdrive like the B button prompts and overdrive like the B button prompts and overdrive and scale refueling and all that. A lot and scale refueling and all that. A lot and scale refueling and all that.

Summary

The main theme is the lack of native Switch 2 upgrades or versions for the Xenoblade Chronicles games, despite the console's launch. Key subjects include the Xenoblade series, Nintendo's communication about game releases, and comparisons to other games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom receiving upgrades. The practical takeaway is that Xenoblade would be an ideal showcase for the Switch 2's capabilities, and fans are eagerly awaiting an announcement from Nintendo and Monolith Soft regarding these highly anticipated upgrades.
