Why all four Xenoblade Chronicles games need Nintendo Switch 2 Editions
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
If you’re at all familiar with JRPGs, then you’ve definitely at least heard of the Xenoblade Chronicles series. And if you’ve only heard of them and haven’t played them, you should definitely change that as soon as possible – or, potentially, wait just a little longer. Recently, Monolith Soft shared a recruitment video on Twitter, and fans noticed that the included footage of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 looked a little bit different than they were used to. Some pointed out different lighting and different textures, though in our opinion this isn’t doesn’t necessarily confirm a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of the game – even if the textures and frame rate really are improved, it could just be a development build. Regardless, this got us thinking about simple changes that Switch 2 versions of all four Xenoblade Chronicles games could use.
[Let’s Talk] The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer reactions

This week, Nintendo hosted a special Direct to air the debut trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. A teaser was shown in September, but this was really our first proper look at the film.
Going into it, we did have some idea about what to expect. Since they’re based on the Super Mario Galaxy games, the foundation was there. However, it does look like Illumination has gone in a different direction as other titles are being referenced, including Super Mario Odyssey’s Sand Kingdom.
The other big news was our first look at Rosalina and Bowser Jr. They will be voiced by Brie Larson and Benny Safdie respectively.
So what are your initial thoughts on The Super Mario Bros. Movie? Let us know in the comments below.
