Review: One of the Best Games on the Switch, maybe Ever - This game is my first foray into Xenoblade. I’ve been a Switch owner since March of 2020 and while I got the usual games such as Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and so on, I really wanted to try something different than the usual Nintendo standard fare. That game is Xenoblade Chronicles DE. After watching a little video review I decided to shoot my shot and give this game ago. I’m loving it. I’m not much of a JRPG person, but this game is just awesome and I can see why it’s considered one of the best made in its genre. The world is beautiful. The story has been great. The characters are cool. The gameplay, I really dig. It’s not turn based (which I’m not that into except for Pokémon), but I’d best compare it to Dragon Age. The main protagonist is Shulk, but the game has a party system where you can have a party of up to 3 character with ones in reserve to swap out and you don’t have to play as Shulk either. Very similar to Dragon Age and the combat itself is also similar. It’s like live action strategy, but you don’t have to spam your basic attack because it’s done automatically by who you are playing as. All you the player have to do is issue commands and use your special abilities. I really like this setup. The only thing I wish this game had though was the ability to switch between characters in your party. You can only do this outside of combat. Aside from that, it’s a very good combat system, but definitely not for everyone. In regards to the game itself and what there is to do, you got a main story and plenty of side content. The side content involves side quests that center around monster hunts, material gathering, and some with their own little story. I know compared to the original version of this game, they greatly improved on these. The game from my understanding is much more user friendly and convenient now, I for one really like that. Plus looking at comparisons of how the game used to look in combat scenarios, the game looks much more cleaned up. So as definitive editions go, this game is more than just a prettied up port (although in handheld mode the game is not the best looking, so I definitely recommend playing on the big screen if playing on a standard Switch). The devs made some nice quality of life changes as well plus I think there is even new additional story content. All in all, this is simply a great game and while I haven’t beaten it yet, it’s shaping up to be one of the best games I’ve played and would recommend it to anyone who has play XC1 previously and people into JRPGs. If you’re someone more on the fence, definitely watch some gameplay and check out reviews to see if it might be for you. I will add, I do find this game very accessible. Happy hunting! Review: Better than I expected. - I've been a fan of Tetsuya Takahashi's work since Xenogears. While this game doesn't fit into the same mold as Xenogears/Xenosaga, it is still an excellent JRPG with a fantastical tale to tell. This is the story of Shulk, who comes into possession of a weapon known as the Monado; a mysterious sword that can let Homs (humans) do battle with the Mechon. His quest begins as a journey of revenge against the Mechon as he travels across the massive Bionis. I'll leave it at, but Takahashi doesn't disapoint here. Gameplay is similar in some ways to a MMORPG, but without the MMO part. Battles are in real time, you only control one character out of three. You use a variety of auto-attacks and arts(special skills) to do battle. I've never big fan of real time RPG combat but Xenoblade Chronicles does perhaps do it best. I got used to it and found it quite satisfying. Sidequests are simple and usually amount to collecting X number of items or going here to defeat X monster and most can be completing easily just by fulfilling the objective on the spot. Like any RPG, you can equip characters with their own gear, but they also utlize gems to add additonal effects. You also get costemic slots to thankfully keep your characters consistent looking if you dislike the appearance of equipped gear. Graphics are pretty good overall considering this on the Nintendo Switch. While it may not par up with performance on a PC/XBOX One/PS4 is does what it needs to. The Definitive edition is a upgrade of the visuals from the original Wii game, bringing more in line witht he visual style of XC 2. Performance in docked mode is quite good but it is only in handheld mode where I notice some downscaling of visuals and fps, so docked mode is preferable. Enviroments are rather huge (that is seriously not an understatement) for a console game. Some enviroments feel too big even with unecessary empty areas. Yet, the variety here is well done and if you're into exploring vast areas this game has want you want. It's fascinating how they converted the humanoid forms of the Bionis and Mechonis into massive playable areas, and as unrealistic as it sounds, they found a way to make it work and keep it varied. Music is excellent throughout. While it's not the Mitsuda style I'm used to in Xeno games, the composer did a good job with the tracks for the game overall. There's only a couple or so standout tracks with the rest being forgettable, but nothing jarring or cring worthy in the soundtrack. Overall, this is an enjoyable experience to play and certainly one of the best JRPG options for the Switch. If you have even a passing interest in this game, I very much reccomend it. ## Features - Discover the origins of Shulk as he and his companions clash against a seemingly-insurmountable mechanical menace - Engage in real-time, strategic RPG battles by carefully positioning characters, selecting combat arts, and executing Chain Attacks - Traverse sprawling environments as you explore the Bionis and Mechonis, two titans frozen in battle - See what happens a year after the events of the main game in a new epilogue that focuses on Shulk and his friend Melia - Watch as characters and environments come to life with updated graphics ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B086GFHCB2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,719 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #839 in Nintendo Switch Games | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch Lite | | Computer Platform | Nintendo Switch | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (6,699) | | Date First Available | March 26, 2020 | | Item Weight | 2.08 ounces | | Item model number | HACPAUBQA | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Nintendo | | Number of Players | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1 x 2 x 1 inches; 2.08 ounces | | Publication Date | May 29, 2020 | | Rated | Teen | | Release date | May 29, 2020 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 045496596958 | ## Images ![Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gPTU0frML.jpg) ![Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XnqQAh3KL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Platform For Display, Edition** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What’s the difference between this and Xenoblade Chronicals 2? Or is it the same game with just upgrades?** A: Xenoblade Chronicles came out originally on the Nintendo Wii in North America in 2012 and was incrediblyhard to find so not many people got to play it outside of japan, it is partially a different universe than Xenoblade Chronicles 2 they are tied in a few ways but i suggest playing both to see how. Personally i like this game better than XB2 for a few reasons and am very excited for this Definitive Edition that expands the story even more from the original release. **Q: Does it have Chinese subtitle?** A: I did has Chinese. My Nintendo account is in America, but I can play it using Chinese. This game (definitive edition) supports Chinese across service areas. **Q: Does this contain the actual physical cartridge?** A: As long as you select the retail option instead of the digital code option. **Q: Can you do multiplayer?** A: No this is single player only and really good. Xenoblade Chronicles X has multiplayer though from my understanding... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best Games on the Switch, maybe Ever *by M***R on June 10, 2020* This game is my first foray into Xenoblade.

Unfortunately, I never got into it. The gameplay was too confusing, the graphics were meh, and the story just didn't compel me. It was a neat concept at the time, but it was missing something. Despite my original disappointment of the Xenoblade world, I did give it another shot when Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was announced. And I fell in love. So, when this game was announced, I figured it was time to give the game another try. So far, I am not disappointed. The graphics have significantly improved. The characters show far more emotion now than what they did in the original. Because of this, their pain and anguish is relatable and allows you to form a bond with the characters. The story, while the same, feels so much better and enjoyable to me. You can really feel how the characters feel in certain situations, which was lacking in the previous game for me. The combat is far more polished than in the original. It is no longer as confusing as it was. The game offers you tutorials and tips to help make everything seem less intimidating. I love the idea of being able to strategically position yourself while fighting the enemy. The commands and menu also feel easier and not so cluttered. Things are simpler to find. If you played Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and never the first one, the combat style is pretty much the same. If you've played the original and loved it, you should definitely buy this remake. If you've skipped this game and bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2, you should buy this game. They compliment each other wonderfully. The game fixed everything that was wrong with it and more. It's definitely worth the $60, especially if you're into good JRPGS! ## Frequently Bought Together - Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Nintendo Switch - Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Nintendo Switch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/189629319-xenoblade-chronicles-definitive-edition-nintendo-switch](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/189629319-xenoblade-chronicles-definitive-edition-nintendo-switch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
