Original source 4Gamer:

4Gamer: Just as Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii was made available on the New 3DS, are there any chances we’ll see Xenoblade Chronicles X on other hardware?

Tetsuya Takahashi, Monolith Soft President: “Personally speaking, there are times I feel like playing Xenoblade Chronicles X and think about how nice it would be to play it on the Nintendo Switch. Of course that will depend on demand and such, but I will think about it while discussing future plans with Nintendo.

This would make me very happy. I will remain cautiously optimistic...

If they can reasonably translate the awesome gamepad integration with the exploration missions and node installments, bring it. It's still a beast of a game!

Is there any chance of an HD version of the original Chronicles? It's still frustrating that Nintendo chose to create a downgraded port of it instead of finally releasing it in HD.

Miiverse just died so it feels isolated to play it now. Please do this, Tetsuya!

The entire game is playable on just the gamepad with the map being an overlay menu as you swap the screens basically. It'd be better to rearrange the menu systems but basically it's ready to go, I'd say.

DO IT. My WiiU gamepad stopped working already (POS system) and I never finished the game.

Hope they fix some of the major issues with a remaster.

How many times have “X Japanese producer/director wants to port Y game to Z system” comments have turned out to be an accurate despiction of the company’s plans?

I want this so bad. Like, I might want this more than I want Xenoblade 2.

In this case, it's possible. The original got ported to 3DS, so its not like they're staunchly against ports.

Hope they fix the game’s issues and “finish” it if they bring it to switch. That game is close to greatness, but it’s problems are so bad.

With the cliffhanger that has the end it would be crazy to get X2 without the first one in Switch so do it

Yes please, and maybe this time we can get the rest of the story too lol

Also bring Sawano back and tell him to make the soundtrack twice as bombastic, make everything bombastic, even just opening a door.

Would get it if it came to switch. Be a good game to port so they can spend longer on there next Xenoblade game.

I never got a Wii U so I'd be interested in trying this. They could maybe bring the original game over as well while they're at it.

Could they fit it on a 16 GB game card when the game was already 20-something gigs and used real-time cutscenes? Otherwise they'll have to wait for prices to go down.

Also I'll take this as it will happen like him saying he wanted another game like the original Xenoblade during Xenoblade X's US launch.

Won't replay it but I'll buy it again to support it.

Definitely need XBX2 as their next game.

I actually never played XB1 and went straight to XBX and really enjoyed it. I'll most likely go back to XB1 before touching XB2, but having XBX on Switch would be such a delight.

It could very well happen, XC will have a strong legacy and fanbase that hasn't diminished so far, the New 3DS version was a quick port to make that system a wee bit more attractive to hardcore Nintendo fans I think.

Nintendo seem to be more focused on salvaging their Wii U output via ports/remasters recently so I wouldn't be surprised if X is chosen over the original.

Someone should probably mention they should fix the sound mixing and maybe look at the final chapter again. Plus the font size, make it readable.

God my memory's bad. I just remembered this, even though i played about half of the game (50h?) exclusively off-TV. So green lights for a good port, i guess :)

I literally just played it around 90 hours Gamepad only. They made it annoying to get to the map but it worked. A version designed around one screen only wouldn't do it that way.

I'd personally rather have an HD version of Xenoblade Chronicles. I've never played it to completion, and when I tried a year or so ago, it was just too fugly lookin'. Still, an XCX port would be cool. Not many people got to play it.

I would buy it. Put a lot of time into X but never finished it, even though it's a great game. Would love to have it on the go

I'd buy this.

I never really played it much on the Wii U. I didn't end up playing many games for the Wii U. I'd play this on the Switch more since it's portable.

I'll gladly double dip. Never got really far in Wii U since I got distracted with other games. But on a portable, this would make me play a ton more.

Yes, please. And add a side of Xenoblade Chronicles X 2 while you're at it.

They would need to redo the interface, that thing was horrible on the Wii U tablet

I'd buy it again. Played it to near completion on the Switch, but never ended up getting 100%.

Yes, this would be great. Especially since XC2 uses XCX's engine, it probably wouldn't be too hard, and they could fix the audio issues

If this is something that could be managed easily (maybe by their secondary/asset team in Tokyo) without impacting their next fantasy new project, I'd be ok with this.

Still no comment on that teaser at the ending? Can someone please ask Takahashi how we're supposed to interpret this message: "This story never truly ends..."
