What we could see out of a Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Definitive Edition
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
You might be wondering: isn’t it too early to be thinking about a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 remaster? The answer might surprise you: not really! The original Xenoblade Chronicles released in Japan in 2010, and in America in 2012. It then received a Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch in 2020. If Xenoblade Chronicles 2 were going to receive a remaster on the same timetable, getting it this year wouldn’t be out of the question. That said, given how Monolith Soft released Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition in March, that clearly isn’t happening. In fact, we think we’ll probably see a Xenoblade Chronicles 4 before a potential Xenoblade Chronicles 2 remaster, but after that, we think it’s possible that the studio will eventually revisit the game. So today, we’re going through a full list of changes we would want to see in a hypothetical Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch 2. There are spoilers ahead, so be warned if you’re still trying to avoid them all these years later.

Stardew Valley creator on why all of the updates are free, doesn’t care about money that much
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Although Stardew Valley has been around for many years, the game hasn’t charged for any of its updates. Everything has been free. That’s despite the fact that many of its patches have been substantial, bringing along new content, features, and more.
For what Stardew Valley has brought to the game over the past decade, many studios would have opted to charge for at least some of it as paid DLC. ConcernedApe, however, has not gone down that path. Now we get to hear directly from its creator about why all of the updates have been free.
