A bittersweet moment and an extraordinary game.
How does it fare on Switch?
In truth, Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch is a straightforward affair.
Monolith Soft has also upgraded the game’s user interface and modified other elements related to battle.
you’re free to still clip right through them, just like the original Wii U version.
It’s so funny, though, that a part of me is happy they kept this.
So are there any things that aren’t improved then?
Performance also hasn’t changed much on the new platform.
The game proceeds at a largely steady 30fps, but it’s certainly not locked.
We might be revisiting this one down the line if that’s the case.
Beyond the relatively straightforward tech upgrades, I wanted to speak on the quality of the visuals themselves.
- on a less powerful system is a huge achievement for a 2012 release.
Couple this with nice use of fog and the beautiful sky system and it manages to hold up.
The limitations are still very much there, of course.
These are sensible development decisions, and they paid off completely here.
The rear channels are fully active.
If you missed out on this back on Wii U, it’s worth diving in!
