Meh. Give me Xenoblade X or give me dust on my Switch. Love that system but it's been dry this last half of the year. Why Nintendo will put every original Wii U game on Switch but not that is confusing.

Monolith Soft already answered that question, it's a matter of budget and project priorities.

Simply porting the game or remastering/remaking it à la XC1 definitive edition would need the budget of an actual new game because Xenoblade X was actually quite the ambitious project for it's time. 

Also, the title only sold less than a million which was probably insufficient to recoup the development cost, which didn't matter much because their true worth was in the open world achievement they managed at the time which led to the BOTW we know in part. 

Nonetheless, it's a risky financial endeavor

 If Nintendo will put Tokyo Mirage Sessions then they can do XCX. I don't believe TMS outsold XCX. Love both but TMS is just far more niche
