Original: Thanks to Nintendo World Report, we have a new graphics comparison for the newly-announced Switch version of Xenoblade Chronicles X (Definitive Edition) and the Wii U original.

One of the big reasons to pick up next year’s version is for the graphics improvements. Even though Nintendo released just a short trailer today, the improvements are already clear. Monolith Soft brushed up the character models, lighting, and more.

Aside from graphical improvements, Nintendo is teasing new story elements. We’re waiting to find out what that means exactly, but it looks like we could be getting a more definitive conclusion.

It’s unclear if there will be any gameplay adjustments or other improvements. For Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Monolith Soft did update some things such as the UI.

Here’s the full Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch vs. Wii U graphics comparison (note that Elma is different on the left as she has an alternate costume there):
