  1. This monolithsoft team is awsome. I always thought if this game was ever going to be released on the switch was going to be with a graphics downgrade. Because it was the best looking game on the Wii U. But not, it looks better than the original.

    Thanks Nintendo and monolith for being that awsome and bringing this game to those who were not able to play such a game!! ❤

  2. No game has captured what XCX has: Giant mechs, alien weaponry, banger music, and mystical landscapes. I’ve fell out of love for gaming because I couldn’t find a game that could replicate XCX. I’m so excited for this!!

  3. Graphics are better on wii u version. Just more contrast and saturation on switch, more cartoony feel more 2020.. while wii u has that ps2-esque colours and clear and stable rendering

  4. Am I the only crazy one that prefers the wii u version here? I think the comparison should have in mind the different sets of light depending on the hour of the day…

  5. The graphics look less life- like realistic than the Wii U's version. The Switch has more color, but the Wii U wins in terms of framerate and pixel quality.👌

  6. Just had a realisation that xenoblade x was the swan song game before the Wii U died, and now it's the same for the Switch. Both the original and the port are coming out when the successor's announcement is imminent. Conspiracy theory: xenoblade chronicles x is so awesome it kills consoles.

  7. I don’t know how I feel about the new faces. It’s higher poly, but they just look off, there was something natural about the original faces, the new ones look wider and more anime-ish. Don’t get me wrong, I love anime, but the new faces just look worse to me.

  8. The Wii U version looks better. They made the characters look too anime style in the Switch version, removed elma's booster jets, and there are some car lights that look better in the original.

  9. You can tell that the difinitive version looks a little crisper. If they added some quality of life improvements, maybe i'll give this game another chance.

  10. Cults, religious conflicts, slavery, clones, thievery, murder , betrayal and exploration!! I'm soo ready to get back to Mira!!!

  11. What's fun is how they use the real time game engine in each cinematics 🙂 for example Elma got customized (ugly?) boots on the wii U video instead of her original ones. 😄

  12. Can't wait to play this natively on the Switch 2, haha. I have a feeling the current Switch is going to struggle a bit.

  13. I wonder if the vehicles driving around NLA will have collision hit boxes now? Not having collision kind of broke some of the immersion for me, otherwise it's a beautifully crafted world!

  14. Oh yeah….. If you haven't played this I envy you get to experience this for the first time you are in a for a wild ride buckle up in your Skell mech it's going to be too awesome to take.
