Microsoft enlisted the help of Banpresto and other third-party developers to support the Xbox 360 after its largely unsuccessful launch in Japan. As such, Banpresto designed XO to take advantage of the console's hardware capabilities and online support, specifically the Xbox Live online network service. The online multiplayer game mode was added as a means to provide a unique and fresh take on the series's gameplay that had not been seen in earlier installments. Though XO was well-received for its gameplay and tweaks made to its predecessors, the failure of the Xbox 360 in the region made it a commercial failure and among the franchise's worst-selling titles.
