The day has lastly come, Xenoblade Chronicles X followers: the underrated Wii U basic is coming to Nintendo Swap.
Over the lifespan of the Swap’s existence, Nintendo has ported a plethora of titles from the not highly regarded Wii U over to its extremely profitable successor. Mario Kart 8 is clearly the one which’s accomplished the most effective on Swap, however there’s additionally been Pokken, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, the Pikmin video games, and a bunch extra, together with the unique Xenoblade Chronicles. However there was one sport even probably the most ardent of followers by no means thought would come to Swap, and that is Xenoblade Chronicles X. Besides, uh, Nintendo simply introduced as we speak that the mecha sport is in actual fact coming to the developer’s present console era.
Absent of any Direct to announce it in, Nintendo shared the information throughout its numerous social media accounts earlier as we speak, with this specific model being launched beneath the identify Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Version. Based on Nintendo, the Definitive Version comes with enhanced visuals, and even some “brand-new story components,” however as somebody unfamiliar with the collection, I can not inform you if any of these story components are seen within the port’s trailer, apart from a quick teaser on the finish which appears like one thing straight out of Kingdom Hearts.
Better of all, you do not have to attend all that lengthy for it, as the sport is due out March 20, 2025, only a few months away. What’s probably fascinating about that’s the truth that the Nintendo Swap was initially launched in March (if we’re being particular, March 3, 2017). I would be shocked if Nintendo then determined to launch the Swap 2, or regardless of the successor is known as, proper earlier than or after they’ve a brand new sport popping out for its earlier platform, even whether it is only a port. Primarily, we will in all probability count on the brand new console in April on the earliest, however proper now Nintendo is busy promoting alarm clocks, so who is aware of if we’ll ever really get an official announcement.
