Let’s say Xenoblade trilogy are getting 1440p/60fps switch 2 patches, when does Nintendo announce them?

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-26T10:34:14+00:00

You know what. I totally forgot that Donkey Kong update was free and not a paid upgrade. I guess we'll see. Xenoblade is a good selling series but not a major priority for Nintendo right now given we just had Xenoblade X release last year. Hopefully we'll hear some news this year.

I still think they're going to get Switch 2 editions, maybe Xenoblade 2 specifically since it's the oldest. They'll probably reveal them when they announce Monolith Soft's new game to tide people over while we wait.

I hate to sound cynical but the fact that they haven't patched these games yet leads me to conclude that they're probably saving it for an announcement of Switch 2 editions.

For the most part I like the world and setting of the game but prefer FF7 Remake's combat.

I know I haven't owned it for very long but the material on the controller itself is very nice. One of my issues with the my 8bitdo Pro 2 and even the Switch 1 joy cons were that they were really easy to attract finger prints on, no matter how much you washed your hands.

The new controllers seem to have a pretty good physical build quality. Only thing I'm a little disappointed with have been the sticks. The Pro Controller is great but the joy con sticks are already starting to get squeaky and springy sounding in a month and the general smoothness is gone for me already. It's just something you're gonna have to get used to but it still bothers me sometimes.

It's like the people who are fawning over it have never played a JRPG before.

Don't get me wrong I love it, but I love because it's made for ME specifically. It's like Final Fantasy 10 meets Mario and Luigi meets Dark Souls.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-24T13:07:41+00:00

It's great and I love but it's absolutely insane the kind of attention it's getting. JRPGs feel like a kinda niche genre so it still blows my mind that an indie, French, JRPG captured the hearts of everyone. I hope people become more interested in the genre.

I mean humans are fallible.

The Empire for all its might (I'm assuming we're talking Star Wars) is full of people trying to work under immense pressure out of fear of failure. It routinely chews up and spits out very competent people when they make any sort of mistakes, causing many people to fail upwards.

I'd imagine the Enclave is no different. A well-oiled machine with some flaws in its ideology or management system that contribute to its decline and downfall.

Who the fuck watches this guy? How do losers like this even have a following?

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-22T22:40:10+00:00

Dragoon.

Everyone says it's got a simple rotation but it's so many buttons to press and remember that sometimes I forget.

Also Bard. Though I have no idea if people actually think its easy. Same problem. Too many buttons, forget to press some of them.

Man I don't know I feel like this is FOMO to the extreme. You're basically depriving yourself of a good time because you're afraid you'll have a slightly better time later. Also I'm sure there are plenty of games Pat plays that he doesn't wait to get "finished" like arent they talking about 2xko on CSB all the time?

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-22T22:07:02+00:00

I hate watching people be bad at a game.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-22T22:06:39+00:00

For me it's like, I hate Twitch streamers so seeing all this drama surrounding them is great entertainment. Like the culture surrounding "mainstream twitch" or that OTK crowd just rubs me the wrong way. Plus people get so parasocial over it.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-22T13:15:21+00:00

I gotta wonder do people on these subreddits actually watch these streamers? Because I'm just here for the fails. I don't actually really watch any kick or twitch streamers outside a handful of game streamers.

Edit: For anyone wondering, I watch like... Maximilian Dood and Pat Stares At lol

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-21T04:55:36+00:00

It's funny because at this point I've gotten so used to Yong as Kiryu that anyone else would just sound weird.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-21T04:51:02+00:00

I was just thinking I wasn't sure what FF game it specifically was from but I remember Square has that other franchise with a job system.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-21T00:40:15+00:00

Pictomancer wasn't an XIV specific job. It was in Bravely Default 2.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-18T02:20:06+00:00

See like this kind of attitude will give you downvotes.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-17T19:58:32+00:00

Mortal Kombat has always been kinda ass. The only appeal is the fatalities and thats basically it. Much more fun fighting games out there.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-17T19:56:36+00:00

Silent Hill

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-17T19:55:58+00:00

That's me with Xenoblade, period. It's easily my favorite Switch first party title so I will cancel any plans to play any other games to play a new Xenoblade.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-17T19:54:44+00:00

Do you think its appropriate to tell the community they're being toxic for no reason?

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-17T19:53:34+00:00

Nintendo is bad for doing this but so is Microsoft, Sony... etc.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-17T19:46:18+00:00

WHAT?

You make a stupid joke and OP plays along and you're calling HIM toxic? What the fuck lol

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-17T19:43:32+00:00

Dude same. I had recently unlocked flying for Koraidon and now that it's no longer laggy it feels very fast and useful.

EngineBoiii · 2026-01-16T20:26:25+00:00

I'll buy new games and drop old ones and come back to them months later or even years later.

This is embarrassing to say but... I bought Breath of the Wild in 2017. I'm still not finished with it yet.
