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.
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.
If you’ve started playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition this week, what are your thought thus far? Are you a new or returning player? Let us know in the comments.
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.

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.
