I'm nervous as to who the new Blade will be and whether or not they'll give THOSE dresses to Pyra and Mythra.

You know the ones.

I can't wait! I always felt like XC2 needed the upgrade the most. Wrapped up my replay of the first game already, so I'll be starting this day one!

Of course I finished my first playthrough of Torna JUST before this was announced…

@Vortexeo XC2 definitely needs it the most. Excellent game held back by poor image quality and unstable performance.

Pyra is such a cute and beautiful angel! I wanna replay just for her! I wish there was a wedding dress costume for her. I LOVE her dynamic with Rex and she has such a pretty voice

Also Malos and Jin are HOT!

This is my favorite game of all time. I'm very curious what the additional content will be for this game and how it'll run on Switch 2. Still haven't bought the new console but that will change extremely soon.

Wow does time fly! I had no idea it was already almost here—we still don’t know who this new Blade is do we?

Finished Xenoblade Chronicles 1 main story. Ready to jump into 2. I personally think Three needs this update most, because I found the framerate unbearable. I have been impatiently waiting for this part. I'm starting at Torna this time.

So ready to replay this. Haven't touched it since Torna first released. I'm sure I'll pick up on things I may have missed or not fully understood on my first playthrough.

So excited gonna preorder the upgrade as soon as I get back home. Still gonna be playing XB1 but I'm for sure gonna test it out on launch just to see how it looks and runs. I really hope 2 benefits a lot from the work they've done with the 1st two Xeno games which hasnt been the best. But with 2 being in the state that it's in, it's bound to be a massive improvement lol

I still have not played the expansion game. I really don’t know why. I got it when I got xenoblade 2 but I will be able to enjoy it at its fullest. I also didn’t play the game again and get the other blades. So this upgrade is welcome. Glad they updated the whole series. I do wish I had the switch 2 cases but the switch one cases for all four games look good. I will have my switch 2 case for genesis next year.

@batmanbud2 I don't know the ones, can I have some context

@Jintenzo ahem. . .the ones from the photo.

Yes, THAT photo.

Tbh, I'll be shocked if Nia doesn't also get her dress.

@batmanbud2 what photo??? If I knew what "the photo" was I probably would know what "those dresses" are

@Jintenzo if you google Xenoblade 2 ending photo it shows a picture of the cast from 2 set after the game from the 3rd game. It is very much a spoiler and I can never remember how to do spoilers on here or I wouldn’t be so vague.

@Glassneedles thank you, crazy image btw

I sorta want to replay but I don’t want to slog through the beginning again. Also whew that game takes a bit to beat. Still haven’t started 3 yet.

@Jintenzo yeah it really is one of the images where people refer to it with definitive articles and when you see it you completely understand why!

I was playing XC3 when Switch 2 was announced. I held off because of lack of compatibility, the nickel and dining Nintendo is doing (here again) and the weird business suit hardware; where are the colorful special editions? But more importantly: where is the joy?
Since then, I have not touched my Switch and moved to PC. I don't think even XC will drag me back to Nintendo.

Let's goooooooooooooo! Poppy Power!

I finished this on Switch 1, but more because there wasn't much to play.

Maybe I need to give the series another go on the Switch 2 as I just didn't think it was that good. Very much feeling like a single player MMO with a lot of boobs, for some reason.

Edit: I am excited to see more of Xenoblade Genesis though.

I have been putting off playing this game for the upgrade. I have to say that I have never felt so bored and uninterested in other games in the meantime! XBC is just one of those series I really love and nothing quite compares to it. Really looking forward to next week to finally continue the adventure!

I haven't played any of these... Do I need to start with 1? Are they a continuation of the same story arc? I know these are long games and probably won't have time to play through all 3 in sequence (or it would take me years).

@thiswaynow Yeah, they're all one big story and when I say big, I mean the scale is unlike almost any other series in video games. The order to play them is:

Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna - The Golden Country expansion pass
Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected (this is the epilogue that you unlock at the end of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition)
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed expansion pass

I think Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition may also connect to the story with the additions added in the Switch version, but I'm only 5 hours into it.

I really hope the Switch 2 port fixes the crashing issues. I played the game several years ago on a Switch Lite but I was forced to drop it due to random crashes. This is the only first party game which crashed on me.

I am very ready for this update!!!

@RenanLK and that's cause its been improved, cause the 2018 version image on handheld was awful

I get destroyed by the weakest enemies in this game.
Love the series, but this is the one I've put off for the longest time cuz I apparently don't know what I'm doing.

Let's goooooooooo

Looking forward to the physical release as I never finished this one.

Stoked to replay this one, I think I'll boot it up for a few mins on the Switch 1 so I remember what it was like playing it back in 2017. Was lucky enough to get a good deal on a 4k monitor that work was gonna throw out which I got just for the XC upgrades lol 🤙

@Papasears1982 I'm not, but I have a bad attention span. I've begun the extra story, but I've given it very little attention.

So, I put down Xenoblade Chronicles 2 about four or five years ago. I'm not sure how long ago it was.

Anyway, I had bought the DLC, and Torna: The Golden Country or whatever. I spent about two hours playing Torna, and unlocked about half of those outfits from the Nopons.

I finally went back to playing last week. I am going to grind out the rest of the outfits, and I just unlocked Fiora and Shulk. I don't want to do a new game plus without all of that stuff which takes an eternity to unlock. I want that to be the LAST time I grind for that stuff.

So, I'm thinking, after I finish unlocking all of those extras, I will buy the switch 2 upgrade, and then play through the new game plus - with those shiny new graphics and whatever else they tossed in. Ten bucks for 4k replay seems like a good deal to me.
