Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is a JRPG classic, make no mistake. I said as much in my recent review, and nothing changes that fact. The game looks better than ever, and no matter what comparison you try to make with the original Wii game, this Definitive Edition looks much better, whether that's in terms of resolution, or overall image quality. But not everything is perfect. Dataminers spent some time looking at the resolutions you could expect the game to run at, and it caps out at 720p when docked on a TV. The game has decent image sharpening and anti-aliasing in place, but that doesn't stop the game from looking fairly soft, and when on a large 4K screen, the cracks begin to show.

But this actually makes Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition the perfect test scenario for the mClassic, Marseille's gaming upscaler which promises low-latency and improved picture quality. We have already performed a robust test and review of the mClassic, but this is one of the more pressing tests yet. Parts of the gaming community have been affronted at XCDE's low resolution, and if the mClassic can significantly clean-up and improve the image quality of the game, it could become an essential purchase for Switch fans. So, let's have a look at what various parts of Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition look like with and without the mClassic upscaling - and make sure to watch the video at the bottom of the article for more footage and comparisons. Oh, and be aware that there may be some spoilers in the images and video footage, so be cautious if you haven't already finished the main story of Xenoblade Chronicles.
