Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U, 2015)
What’s left to say: it’s a crime that Xenoblade Chronicles X remains trapped on Wii U. The uneven spin-off swung big with massive maps, an intricate system of resources, upgrades, and unlocks, and a multiplayer system that tried to bring MMO guild-like systems to an open world single-player RPG. The storytelling, pacing, art, and music was top-notch, even if the mileage varied greatly on moment-to-moment character writing and dialogue. The last of the great Wii U orphans, no game deserves a Switch port more.
