Richard writes: "Xenoblade Chronicles on Nintendo Switch may not typically be said in the same breath as other top-tier Nintendo IPs such as Animal Crossing or Zelda, but with the Definitive Edition it definitely deserves to be. This is a hugely comprehensive JRPG that is a brilliant mix of old-school storytelling and modern gameplay."
Rules are meant to be broken in video games. The easiest way to quickly break a game’s world? An overpowered weapon that makes the main character a one-person army. Now, imagine that power if it existed in the real world.
Xeno fans rejoice! The six-part saga has finally been told!
Xenogears was originally supposed to be a six part series, but Squaresoft cut the budget for the first game and canceled future plans. Xenosaga, published by Bandai Namco, was its spritual successor, and it too was supposed to be a six part series but was cut to a trilogy after subpar sales for Xenosaga 2.
Future Redeemed is by far the best DLC of the Xenoblade series, achieving its lofty goals of introducing new characters, reconnecting with older ones, and closing a narrative that Monolith Soft’s main man Tetsuya Takahashi has been trying to tell since 1998.
Some of the best Black Friday Nintendo deals include Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, Super Mario Odyssey, and Metroid Dread.
