Nintendo fans lose it as final massive Switch RPG announced

What a pleasant surprise

Yesterday Nintendo announced the definitive edition of a Wii U banger, on a random weekday with no prior warning.

I’m both impressed and fearful of Nintendo’s ability to pull surprises out of thin air, though yesterday the sheer excitement of seeing Xenoblade Chronicles X coming to the Nintendo Switch overshadowed all other emotions.

It's also worth trying out the first Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, the trailer of which is below

Xenoblade Chronicles X is the Wii U spin-off game of the increasingly popular Xenoblade Chronicles series, which is such a heavy-hitter on Nintendo’s consoles some of its characters found their way into Super Smash Bros, which is how you know they’re good.

While not being part of the core narrative of the series the game is loved by many, though it never quite reached the same heights as the others in terms of admiration.

That said, that's entirely the reason you do a definitive version of something, to inspire a new audience whilst also appealing to those who were there when it first came out. I mean look at the success Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster had after the series’ long hiatus?

Aside from the trailer for the game Nintendo also announced it’ll launch on 20 March 2025, adding to the already impressive line-up of 2025 games for the Nintendo Switch.

Whether the game will also be available on the Nintendo Switch 2 is unknown, but hopefully it is because I’d love to see the game take advantage of more modern hardware, as the original version looked fantastic on the Wii U let alone a new-gen platform.

For those who haven’t played a Xenoblade Chronicles game yet, Xenoblade Chronicles X is a perfectly fine game to start with, as again it has nothing to do with the main story of the series, so it’s a place to start if you’re looking for one.
