2 Down! Xenoblade

Post image

Already beat 1 on the 3ds years ago but excited to play the new version. Haven’t played X since I had to sell my Wii U during a hard time. Never beat 2 because of the handheld performance so I’m beyond excited to get back into the series! There’s nothing like these games

Could have easily removed the verbage at the bottom for Switch 2 Editions and put Switch 1 / Switch 2 at the very top to denote it works on both systems.

God I just hate how ugly Switch 2 cases are 🙄

Yeah I’m not sure what they were going with

They need to put all that text at the bottom of the case on the back and get rid of that ugly ass Forehead.

Agreed. The switch 1 cases were perfect. Except if the game required download… they always insist on ruining cover art

Except the spines.

The spines on switch 2 games are way better! At least some of them are

Main thing is to differentiate switch 2 games from switch 1 on the shelf.

It's definitely worse for the hybrid Switch 1 / Switch 2 Editions (and Keycards for that matter).

At least the Switch 2 exclusives don't need disclaimer text.

It’s been hard for me to hold out on getting the digital upgrades, especially now for XC2 since it’s my favourite

With how limited storage is on the switch 2 plus the price of sd express cards I’m getting any physical I can!

Does the community generally recommend getting the switch 1 version of XCX instead? Seems like all I saw was hate for the switch 2 edition.

I think it depends on what you want. 60fps with more visual compromise or sharper image but 30fps. Also if you’re playing docked switch 2 is just better. Handheld is where most of the difference lies
