Why, yes, I will be buying Xenoblade Chronicles for the third time when it comes out on Switch

I'm really feeling it!

Hello, my name is Katharine and I'm a Xenoblade Chronicles addict.

I played it and loved it the first time on the Nintendo Wii, and played it and loved it again when Nintendo and the wizards over at Monolith Soft shrunk it down for the New 3DS - and if it means I can listen to the majestic strings and thumping drums of the incredible Gaur Plain pumping out of my TV again (now fully remastered, I might add), then I will happily play it and love it all over again when it comes to the Switch. It's Reyn time, baby!
