Publisher Nintendo and developer Monolith Soft have announced Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for Switch. It will launch on March 20, 2025 worldwide for $59.99. It is a remastered versio…
Trapped on Wii U no more!
This is basically the last important game from Wii U not to make it to Switch, right?
Depends on how you define important"
The HD Zelda remakes would be nice to have on a real console.
It's notable that there is still a Kirby game stuck on the WiiU.
I've heard good things about Nintendoland but I've never played it. Still, that's kind of the soul of the WiiU so might not be likely to get ported.
Paper Mario Color Splash is notable, though I don't think it sold well. If they ever do a compilation of the second wave of Paper Mario games it'll probably get included.
I liked Pushmo World. I wouldn't mind a new entry in the series, though as a puzzle game the line between sequel and remake is kind of blurry and irrelevant.
Sega loves to do Sonic compilations so I would guess Rise of Lyric would get re-released at some point.
There's the infamous Star Fox games. Nintendo has been known to re-release old games that were obscure, sold poorly, or were just plain bad before. But I wouldn't expect that for a decade or two. Either as part of a compilation or hidden away with a bunch of other games on a digital storefront.
Devil's Third may end up as lost media someday. The spinoffs probably do too. Pokemon Rumble, plus the "party" and "sports" games.
Yoshi's Woolly World probably still counts. It got a 3DS port, but it's a game whose visual identity is a huge part of the appeal, most of which is lost when running at 240p. In terms of games that probably should be on Switch, I think the Zelda remakes and Yoshi are the last ones. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and Nintendo Land would both be hurt by porting to a system with "normal" controls, to the extent that they probably won't bother.
If you don’t count Mighty N°9 /s
I think so? But I might be forgetting something.
About damn time.
This thing is my favorite MMO by some margin and it's not even a MMO at all.
Very unexpected one. Really excited to give it a shot when I can get a copy
I've been waiting years for this lmao. I'm so damn happy.
So as someone who got into xenoblade with the switch (still working on 3) where does this fit in the funky xenoblade timeline or is it a completely stand alone game
All xeno games have very light and mostly fanservice connections. Aside from that it’s standalone
Yeah I wouldn’t praise xenoblade for its continuity and connections between games, but I was just curious if there was any link at all lol
It's outside of the non-X timeline, completely stand-alone.
Sick
