[BennyBlanco]

 

[//DEVIL//]

Nice. any mention of the upgrade path cost ?

XCX was $5

 

[StereoVsn]

Did they say how much are the packs? I mean I am probably going to buy anyways but curious.

 

[Gaiff]

I thought it was a collection of all three games but nope, all sold separately.

 

[Chuck Berry]

How much to upgrade the OG

And now I can finally play 2

 

[Diseased Yak]

I mean, this is fantastic, but wtf at having to wait until December to finally have all 3 upgraded?? Oh well. Looking forward to playing them again.

 

[//DEVIL//]

XCX was $5

impressive. super worth it.

 

[JORMBO]

Getting all these again physical if it is not a key card.

 

[kevboard]

"4k resolution"

 

[Danjin44]

These upgrades are nice and gives nice excuse replay the game again before the new Xenoblade comes out.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Really hope it's not using that upscaler (shit AI?) they used in Chronicles X

 

[begotten]

Finally, Xenoblade 2 REALLY needed this update when the camera is pulled back and everything looks shitty.

 

[mèx]

No XB2DE then, a bit disappointing but I will take it.

 

[bender]

I'll buy these upgrades so I can't not play this series all over again.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I thought it was a collection of all three games but nope, all sold separately.

Same, I was amost about to grab my Switch 2.
I've never played any of these games and that would have had me jump in.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Going to wait and see how these perform, the X upgrade was actually worse than boost mode. Not sure if they fixed it yet.

 

[StereoVsn]

Really hope it's not using that upscaler (shit AI?) they used in Chronicles X

That one looked like crap and I don't think they bothered fixing anything.

 

[keefged4]

 

[Magic-DEI-Hire]

Finallyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Buggy Loop]

That one looked like crap and I don't think they bothered fixing anything.

Yea it was never patched

I avoid playing it because of that, really disappointing

 

[Retrofluxed]

All I can say is about fucking time.

 

[alf717]

The first Xenoblade upgrade launches today. Man I'm hyped. Wonder if Torna will be considered when Xenoblade 2's upgrade launches. I own the physical version.

 

[NanaMiku]

Please update for field skills in Xenoblade 2 too....

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

they added vehicles to XC1 and voiced heart to hearts

added a new blade and quest to XC2

added new combat modes and new hero and hero quest to XC3

 

[DarkShadowXI]

These upgrades are nice and gives nice excuse replay the game again before the new Xenoblade comes out.

I beat the first one a couple years ago and would totally play it again with these upgrades.

Stopped playing 2 because of the awful performance. Didn't even touch 3 to wait for the inevitable Switch 2 edition.

I'm so glad they're all being upgraded. Just freaking awesome.

 

[Shifty1897]

Really hope it's not using that upscaler (shit AI?) they used in Chronicles X

Yeah, I have to wait before picking up the upgrade pack because if it's using the Xenoblade X upscaler it's absolutely not worth the upgrade unfortunately.

 

[alf717]

they added vehicles to XC1 and voiced heart to hearts

Makes sense, well then that explains the updated Spotlight post about Caitlin Thorburn.

 

[DarkShadowXI]

I'm just really glad I'll have something to do for the next year while my wife gets swept away in the Pokopia DLC lol

 

[FoxMcChief]

Holy baby Jesus. Give me XBC2 upgrade in my fucking veins!

 

[delishcaek]

Everyone would've been happy if they had announced just one upgrade... but doing all 3 over the next half year is amazing.

I do hate that I replayed XB2 recently (because I was kinda losing hope for upgrades anytime soon), but I haven't touched NG+ and Torna yet. I haven't bought a Switch 2 upgrade so far, do save games transfer?

Anyway, I hope they learned from the bad feedback they got for XBX. Maybe they do a better job with these 3 and XBX gets patched, but tbh anything will be an upgrade for XB2, that game's image quality is just so bad.

 

[Kataploom]

The peak you see here is when my Nintendo Direct ended. I needed no more.

 

[darth.shrimp]

I still need to finish Xenoblade 1.
I'll play Xenoblade 2 on emulator so I can patch out this terrible, butchered localization.
But as I still haven't even bought Xenoblade 3, I'll definitely get the Switch 2 edition of that one.

 

[alf717]

Xenoblade updated to 2.0. I think the upgrade is live? They will cost $10 a piece.

Edit:

I bought it and its updating now.

 

[mèx]

XB2 would need a UI pass too, but I don't think that's included with the update. It's a bit of a shame really. Curious to see the new Blade quests.

 

[Kataploom]

I don't have any issue with it, but Xenoblade X doesn't have motion vectors so it depends on a spatial scaler... The other Xenoblade games can just use DLSS

 

[LordCBH]

I'm assuming each upgrade pack will be $20?

I really hope but Nintendo seems allergic to DLSS for some reason

[diffusionx]

I've waited literally 9 years to play 2 after I read how shitty handheld mode was.

 

[Signalis]

Getting all these again physical if it is not a key card.

It's Nintendo 1st party games, so it will be fully on cart.

 

[Sohurmk833]

Fantastic. Hope this is a sign that there are plenty more upgrades coming.

 

[jshackles]

It's Nintendo 1st party games, so it will be fully on cart.

They'll probably also follow the "Switch 2 Edition" tradition with these carts, meaning not only will they be fully playable from the cartridge but will also work in the Switch 1.
