Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition launched this week, making it one of Nintendo’s last big releases of the Switch 1 era. It’s technically not a new game given that it first appeared on Wii U, but many system owners probably missed it the first time around. Even if you’ve played it before, there’s new content to go through – not to mention the game has received a ton of improvements.

Highlights from last week’s topic: Games you can’t believe exist

Stephen Yap

I still can’t believe Atelier Sophie ~The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book~ got a 2022 interquel with Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream, but that’s mainly because while I wasn’t fully a fan of the Atelier series myself, it became my favorite Atelier game (and Switch RPG) and one of my absolute favorite games of all time. It was seemingly an Atelier game that was built specifically for me and therefore, I had a lot of fun with it left and right.

Shmuel McConen

Metroid Prime 4 is too easy, so let’s go with Suikoden 1&2 remasters.

New Pokemon Snap is the biggest gaming surprise sequel I’ve ever seen. It’s also such an amazing game and well worth the wait to finally get a sequel.

Emio the smiling man is probably the most out of nowhere revival Nintendo has ever done. Or honestly the fact that they remade and localized the first 2 famicom detective club games is also wild.

Luke Houser

Saga Scarlet Embrace is still kind of a surprise to me today. Saga is easily getting more attention, but I never quite suspected that the oldest JRPG series to be about as open world as Elder Scrolls still has made entries after the early 2000s, let alone so heavily after around 2004 or something.

Picross S Doraemon & F Characters Edition

Nintendo has updated the Japanese Switch release schedule on Nintendo eShop for the week of March 27, 2025. The lineup includes Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition and more.

Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:


You could make the case that Monolith Soft is one of Nintendo’s most important studios at the moment. Aside from developing different entries in the acclaimed Xenoblade Chronicles series, the company has worked directly on high-profile first-party games. Monolith Soft has contributed to Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, all of the Splatoon games, and more.

Yet despite its incredible track record, Monolith Soft strives for more. Hirohide Sugiura, the company’s co-founder and representative director, has mentioned that the company will never be satisfied with the status quo and will always aim for higher quality.

Tales of Autumn gameplay

RedDeerGames and Hidden Stag Games are celebrating the debut of Tales of Autumn with a new launch trailer. This week, the farming RPG landed on Nintendo Switch.

Everything you need to know can be found in the following overview:

Starship Overdrive physical

When Star Overdrive comes to Nintendo Switch next month, it’ll be accompanied by a physical release. Retailers have put up listings that confirm a boxed version.

Those that pick up the game at retail will receive a few digital bonuses. It packs in the soundtrack, manga, and other unspecified extras.
