As much as I love the Xenoblade Chronicles franchise now, I find it hilarious that my first foray into this universe by Monolith Soft was via the one “spinoff” that they did via X. It was originally on the Wii U, and we didn’t even know it was a Xenoblade Chronicles game when it was first announced! I remember playing it on my Wii U, and it was a fun experience. Then, when the Switch came out, we got two more mainline titles, including the all-time great Xenoblade Chronicles 3. However, as my Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition Review will attest, this “upgraded version” stacks up to its predecessors while still being unique among them.
