"Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition" Headed to Switch Next Year

As announced on the Nintendo Direct Stream yesterday, Nintendo will be bringing Monolith Soft's Xenoblade Chronicles to the Nintendo Switch next year in a Definitive Edition format. The game originally released for the Nintendo Wii system back in 2012 and chronicles the adventures of Shulk and Fiora as they attempt to change the future.

We don't know exactly what to expect from the Definitive Edition of the game, other than the usual basics. Obviously we'll get some updated graphics and performance, and potentially the Shulk Amiibo support that was included in the game's 3DS port which released in 2015.

The official description from Nintendo reads:

MONOLITHSOFT's epic Xenoblade Chronicles game, which originally launched in 2012 on the Wii system, is destined to be reborn on Nintendo Switch as Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. The game, which chronicles the adventures of Shulk and Fiora, is scheduled to launch for Nintendo Switch in 2020.
