Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Comes to Nintendo Switch in March

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2025.Nintendo announced the re-release of the 2015 Wii U role-playing game from Monolith Software with a trailer, below, saying it comes with “enhanced visuals” and “brand new story elements.””Earth has been destroyed by an intergalactic war between two alien races, and humanity is on the brink of annihilation,” reads the official synopsis.”A small number of survivors, aboard the USS White Whale, crash land on the vast and untamed planet Mira — and now it falls to you, as a member of Blade, to help bring humanity back from the edge of extinction with the aid of powerful giant robots called Skells.”Wii U titles have slowly but surely made the jump to Nintendo Switch over the years. The console infamously underperformed for Nintendo so its best games perhaps didn’t get the attention they deserved.The likes of Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros. U, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and much more have all been ported to the more successful platform. Ports are also an easier way to fill up the release calendar as Nintendo gears up for its next console, colloquially known as the Switch 2.In our 8/10 review of the original, IGN said: “Xenoblade Chronicles X is a massive RPG with enough surface area, sub quests, and customization to keep you busy.”Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He’ll talk about The Witcher all day.
