After 9 years in Wii U prison, sci-fi JRPG Xenoblade Chronicles X debuts as March's best-selling Switch game in the US, kicking Mario Kart 8 into second place

One of the most underrated Wii U games, Xenoblade Chronicles X, has finally been given a new lease of life on Nintendo Switch, and the sci-fi JRPG has had a phenomenal debut month after dethroning Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the console's best seller for March in the United States.

Xenoblade Chronicles X, despite being an absolute gem, had become somewhat forgotten in comparison to the main Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy. For over nine years, it was stuck on a console that sold notoriously poorly, with no other way to play it. This changed with Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, which truly lives up to its name as the best way to play the JRPG, and more importantly makes the game accessible on Switch, introducing it to a massive new audience.
