Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is (currently) the only Xenoblade game that lets you design and name your own custom character. There are tons of customization options to choose from, and some of them even let you recreate characters from the numbered Xenoblade titles. That being said, some fans might prefer to go with what’s considered the “canon” name and appearance for their character – in this case, the canon name is Cross and the default options are automatically highlighted when you create your character for the first time. But what if you make a mistake and want to change your character later on? You actually can do this once you clear Chapter 5.

The Xenoblade Chronicles series has had a fantastic resurgence on Nintendo Switch. What was once a singular underrated JRPG on Wii is now a complete trilogy with critical acclaim and even Super Smash Bros. representatives. Xenoblade Chronicles X is the only game in the series that isn’t part of the numbered trilogy, so it’s often seen as the odd one out. For the longest time, fans weren’t sure if we’d ever see the game again – but Monolith Soft has cooked up an excellent remaster and it’s one absolutely packed to the brim with content. If you’ve never played a Xenoblade Chronicles game and are looking to get into the series for the first time, this is a good place to start – for the most part, Xenoblade Chronicles X is unconnected to the other games in the series.
A listing appeared on the Nintendo eShop for Feudal Bros – Tonosama #1, showing that it’s soon dropping on Switch. The game launches on April 4, 2025.
Feudal Bros – Tonosama #1 originally hit the Super Famicom in 1995. It never left Japan, so this is the first time the beat ’em up title is seeing an English version.
The eShop listing gives us the following details:
It’s been many years since the original release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in 2018. There’s been no official announcement for a new game at the time of writing, but the wait between Ultimate and its eventual sequel is already setting a record. Indeed, the time between new Smash Bros. games has never been greater. But that leaves us with plenty of time to appreciate the titles we already have, and one aspect of them that often goes undiscussed is their art styles.
Despite being fairly similar to each other on a gameplay level, each Super Smash Bros. game winds up feeling distinct because of its art style. 64, Melee, Brawl, 3DS, Wii U, and Ultimate are all visually distinct from one another, and this is a trend we can expect to see when the next entry eventually does come out. In the meantime, today we’re analyzing the individual art style of each entry in the series and going over what makes each one charming.
