Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster enhancements frame rate resolution

Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster was only just announced for Switch a short while ago, but Bandai Namco has followed up with more details including enhancements being implemented, frame rate, resolution, and more. This stems from an official FAQ.

Here’s the full rundown:

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 story DLC

Nintendo has sent out a bunch of screenshots for future Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC as part of the Expansion Pass.

We mainly have a look at the second wave, which features Masha as a new hero character and outfits. A few images are also available for original story scenario.

Here’s the full set:

Baten Kaitos I II HD Remaster

Bandai Namco has just announced Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 HD Remaster, updated versions of the classic card RPGs now making their way to Switch. A release is planned for this summer.

Both Baten Kaitos titles were developed by Monolith Soft of Xenoblade fame. Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean came out at the end of 2003 in Japan, 2004 in North America, and 2005 in Europe. It was followed by Baten Kaitos Origins – which is actually a prequel – in 2006.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Masha wave 3

We have news about upcoming Expansion Pass DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 thanks to the latest Nintendo Direct.

The third wave, slated for February 15, will be highlighted with Masha as a new hero and a refined Lapidarist. There’ll also be Challenge Battles with roguelike elements and outfits for the main cast with looks that resemble designs for characters in previous games.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 fifth anniversary wallpapers

Original (11/30): Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is now five years old (at least if you’re in territories like Europe and Japan), and developer Monolith Soft is celebrating with two special wallpapers.

The designs are largely the same with Pyra and Mythra being hoisted into the air. Other main characters are here as well – specifically Rex, Nia, Tora, Zeke, Morag, and Vandham plus their Blades. The wallpaper you go with really depends on which device you intend to use it on. Monolith Soft’s images have been optimized for either mobile / tablets or PC.

Xenoblade-Chronicles-3-update-1.2.1

A new version 1.2.1 update just went live for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. However, we should note right off the bat that it’s rather small in nature.

The official patch notes are as follows:

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 wave 3 hero DLC

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 fans have looked through the game’s files following the release of the new version 1.2.0 update and wave 2 DLC, and via a datamine, have apparently discovered the design for the next new Hero.

We have the image attached after the break. Nothing is revealed in terms of story content, but for those looking to maintain the surprise, keep that in mind before proceeding.

Xenoblade 3 Nopon Archsage Adam Howden

Here’s a bit of trivia that may blow your mind: Adam Howden, who played Shulk in the first Xenoblade Chronicles, is the voice of the Nopon Archsage in the new Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC. It goes without saying, but this is specifically for the English version.

The Nopon Archsage was just added as part of the game’s Expansion Pass. He’s included in the new Challenge Battles where players take on consecutive enemies to earn accessories and special outfits.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 update 1.2.0

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 just received its new version 1.2.0 update, and as part of that, wave 2 of the game’s DLC has gone live.

As a reminder, the next wave of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC is primarily comprised of two elements. The first aspect is Ino, a new Hero with an additional quest. Challenge Battles are also included in which players can earn accessories and special outfits by taking on tough enemies.

The third wave of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Expansion Pass, comprised of more Challenge Battles, a new Hero, and outfits will be live by April 2023. A new story scenario for the game will follow by the end of 2023 and concludes all DLC.

Below are the patch notes for today’s Xenoblade Chronicles 3 version 1.2.0 update:

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 swimsuits

Nintendo and Monolith Soft have shared what is presumably their final video for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Wave 2 Expansion Pass DLC, and have now shown off the swimsuit costumes players will be able to unlock in the game.

Players can earn special outfits and accessories by taking on the new Challenge Battles. This mode, which introduces the Nopon Archsage, features consecutive battles against tough enemies.
