This recent information drop aligns with earlier leaks from Pyoro, hinting at more details to come for the Switch title. Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition joins a lineup of highly anticipated first-party Nintendo Switch releases in 2025, including Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. With the impending reveal of the Switch 2 before the end of March, the possibility of additional titles remains open.
Xenoblade Chronicles X represents one of the last major Wii U titles to transition to the Switch. Nintendo’s steady porting of Wii U games has brought over fan favorites like Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Several titles still await their Switch debut, including Yoshi’s Woolly World, Paper Mario: Color Splash, and the highly anticipated HD remasters of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker.
