Does Nintendo Need To Reprint Or Re-release Xenoblade Chronicles?

What would be the point of remaking it for Wii U? X is coming out next year. I'd rather see it reprinted with the next wave of Nintendo Selects Wii games.

Its a highly desirred game, reprinting it for the Wii U will make people who were on the fence buy the console.  Also if the story in X is linked or continues the story from Xenoblade they need to do it or people will be lost.

Did you finish Xenoblade? Trust me, even if X takes place in the same world (and I think it will), playing Xenoblade will not be necessary to understand the story. Everything is resolved at the end of Xenoblade.

If X wasn't coming until 2015 or later, I could see a potential benefit to remaking it for Wii U. But as it stands with a 2014 release window, there's no reason to push a remake out less than a year before the sequel's release. There's no way an uprezzed Xenoblade would be more of a system seller than X.
