Will Kit and Krysta be there to entertain everyone with their plastic smiles? I bet Nintendo Life would love that idea.

These two are like a really unfunny recurring joke on this site.

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

At least those prices are not as bad as the PS5 scalping prices. They were as high as $1500.

It IS cute. Will probably be 10 times more cute when it tranforms into it's kaiju form and tears your face off.

8/10.

Strong selling points, but doesn't have the wow factor like the original Switch presentation, that tells me "I must have it!"
Definitely expect people to hold off and wait until a better line-up comes or what the experts think of the actual hardware.

Everyone knew Switch 2 was coming. A new Tomodachi Life was something many wanted, but there was no news or signs that one was being developed.

Simply put, people were more pleasantly surprised by the reveal.

THANK! YOU! Sometimes Japanese devs try so hard to cater to the west that they forget that many western gamers want the Japanese charm, style and essence that a western dev could nier replicant- I mean... never replicate.

Amazing how third-party developers are still putting out games for Switch 1. The real question is; how much of a downgrade will it take to make it functional.

@Zach777 People are just over-emotional to a point of being irrational, especially online. It is what it is, happens all the time with practically every video game.

@Runex2121 Very understandable. I actually expected that most people who loved Xenoblade 2 and 3 would hate this game. Xenoblade X was created when nobody expected that Xenoblade would become a series, hence the design, theme and staples of the series aren't properly in-place yet. With the establishments placed on Xenoblade 2 and 3, Xenoblade X is considered the black sheep of the series.

@BlackenedHalo Exactly.

@Zach777 True, but kinda understandable. Everyone always has that moment when they excitedly buy a game only to realize it's not at all what they had expectations for. Some probably bought this cause of all the hype and praise, only to realize it's not to their liking.

@BlackenedHalo So, not the story? Characters? World-building? Exploration? Side quests?

Whatever makes you happy then.

@BlackenedHalo Okay... it's still not coming back though..

Also, "This is what made the OG great." C'mon, dude...

@BlackenedHalo Some restriction in any game is always needed. Giving the player freedom is always something developers should consider, but never ever total freedom. Y'know, like in nearly every other video game.

@BlackenedHalo So? You're point is? It's not coming back. And new players wouldn't even know it was ever there, shows it was never truly needed. Complain to Monolith Soft.

@BlackenedHalo They are facts, that are now out-dated as the definitive edition has proven. Like how it was a fact that the Earth was the center of the solar system.

@BlackenedHalo to YOU. Don't mistake your opinion as fact. I'm just happy to get to play the game in a better state, and even happier that more people get to experience it.

@BlackenedHalo Even the main story explains that anyone from any division can do the work of the other. If the divisions is your biggest gripe then go back to the Wii U version and enjoy the finnicky map, near unescapable environmental damage in Oblivia and running around to change party members only to learn they can't be used on a mission.

@BlackenedHalo
First of all, nobody cares about the car collision, and the barracks customization is meaningless as you know you won't be spending much time in there.

The definitive edition having a dedicated screen for swapping out party members at any time. Changing the time of day. The majority of missions no longer forcing you to have specific party members. Faster loading times. Lin now having a human face.

Even the developer's realized their errors and made the game feel more free and not put uneeded restrictions. There is absolutely no reason to return to the Wii U version.

@BlackenedHalo cause it made an already complicated battle and customization system even more unnecessarily complex.

10/10.

I have not been so engaged and/or immersed in an RPG in such a long time. Playing the Wii U version back then was still great, but felt depressing cause the Wii U was already well established as a failure by then, that and the numerous big and small gripes the original has that is now fixed on the definitive edition.

You'll have to pry Xenoblade Chronicles X DE from my cold dead hands to get me to stop playing.

@StewdaMegaManNerd
Pretty sure they're a one-off thing, just to differentiate the game with the Wii Sports titles.

Woah. Woah. Slow down. Next you're going to tell me they got fingers now.

Starring Chris Pratt.

Something new for Ubisoft to fall flat on their face with.

These two again... I'm just glad I don't have to see official Nintendo videos with their permanently plastered smiles.

I sure hope it does go well for them, as risky as it is.

Their last couple of games have been mixed. World's End Club started really strong but quickly became a ho-hum experience. I really Liked Rain Code, but it always felt lacking despite a really good premise.

I want it, then repaint it to give it tiger stripes!

Everything Xenoblade X is making me hype as hell!

Xenoblade X all weekend, baby!

@flighty
True, but they do what they can on certain games. I think every Splatoon game is friendly to the color blind.

It'll release when the sun explodes.

Perfect to near perfect scores makes me really happy that this hidden WiiU gem got a second chance for more people to experience.

I just hope I don't get struck by lightning on the day of release.

Imagine the nightmare of collecting all one thousand plus Pokemon Lego sets.

Ah, well. At least Lego Porygon would be very faithful in appearance.

Yes! Me want! Give! 🤤

Damn. This had such good user reviews on Steam and I really was contemplating getting this to pass the time before Xenoblade X's release.

I guess the Switch version will be a pass , for now.

Did M'aiq tell you this rumor?

Now THAT is a boost. Monster Hunter could never fail in Japan.

Also, Dragon Quest III on Switch is just shy of a couple more thousand copies to reach one million sold.

Stop!

I'm getting fidgety from anticipation.

I'm so relieved that Konami didn't bungle this up. I was worried why the reveal and release took so long that I assumed the worst.

No one is sure why it did take so long, but even if the worst did happen, then Konami put the time and effort to make the games as faithful as they can with better visuals.

Holy crap! That's about... 1,2,3... 468,677 amiibos!

@RupeeClock
Fine. Make it a cat bullet bill.

Just paint it all black and turn it into a bullet bill.

I actually liked Unleashed. I also got the best of both worlds, having the Japanese Wii version.

Despite not looking as good as the PS3 and 360 versions, those versions had you running around hub worlds that was universally agreed to be empty and useless.

And the Japanese voice of Chip is far far less annoying.

Great. More people will get the chance to experience Android 17's story.

Why would you think Jennifer Coolidge could save this horrific train wreck?

@BrazillianCara
Very likely since Gamefreak has proven very incompetent when it comes to the technical side of game development.

Eagle-eyed people already pointed out that the windows on the buildings in ZA are all flat textures, where as Scarlet/Violet at least were modeled.
