From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:
"We suppose the silver lining to releasing a flop console (the Wii U) is that you can use its underexposed library to fill in the gaps on a stronger-performing machine (the Switch) during its lean times. Convenient, right? As we enter the Switch’s twilight years, just about every first-party Wii U exclusive has been given second life there, with one exception: Xenoblade Chronicles X.
X is an oddity, unintended to be part of the main series. There’s less of an emphasis on story and more on exploration. It leans more heavily on sci-fi than the main series, with its characters explicitly coming from Earth instead of being “Homs” who live on a dead god’s body. From the space colony of New Los Angeles — your hub base — you set out to document the wonders and dangers of Planet Mira in your giant mech suit. Fighting is different, the feel is different — it’s an odd duck.
And it’s that odd-ness that made everyone fear Xenoblade Chronicles X would remain trapped on the Wii U forever. Those who enjoyed it have had to watch title after title escape to the Switch’s lifeboat while X remained on the wreck of the Titanic. It’s one of the Wii U games that still fetches high prices on eBay…though perhaps not for much longer. It took until the eleventh hour, but this game finally made it over."
