If Nintendo REALLY wants to start pushing XC as a franchise, an remaster set of the first two for Switch launching in 2017 coinciding with a teaser for the next XC could be a fantastic way to drum up attention as well as address technical issues with XCX and do XC some justice.

That would be quite the undertaking though, and I'm not sure how financially viable it would be, especially the work that would need to be done in the original XC (and because these series do little more than reference each other, unless there is some underlying connection they will eventually reveal). But hell, it would be an awesome thing to see done!

Not necessarily.  For XCX, it would only need to upres some textures and fix all the draw distance issues in NLA. 

XC would be a bigger undertaking, but not as big as it seems.  The folliage is surprisingly well done from a polygonal perspective as well as density.  Because of the techniques used for it, you could, again, mainly just increase texture resolution considerably.  Landscape polygonal detail is also pretty dang good.  Where the hard work would come in is smaller detail meshes (props, small structures, etc) and of course character models.  However, if the animations could still be used with the new models, that would save some time.  So it's still very much possible.
