Why all four Xenoblade Chronicles games need Nintendo Switch 2 Editions
Posted on 2 weeks 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.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake dev on challenges of developing for Nintendo Switch 2’s handheld mode
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, has spoken about what it’s been like working with Nintendo Switch 2 and the challenges of developing games for the system while accounting for handheld mode.
Just like Nintendo’s previous system, teams have a bit more power to work with when the system is docked. In portable mode, things need to be scaled back a bit – and there’s also the factory of battery life to account for. Hamaguchi said Square Enix (and other developers) need to think about “how you can get a version in handheld mode that doesn’t look inferior and stands up to the home console versions on other platforms.”

The best Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Season 2 Ranked Battles
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
A while back, we wrote a guide on the worst Pokemon to use in online ranked battles in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. As helpful as that knowledge is, it doesn’t actually help you score wins against other trainers, so this time we’re talking about the strongest Pokemon you can possibly use in competitive battles. This also assumes they’re fully EV and IV trained, which thankfully is fairly simple to do in this game.
