Let's face it, most players that currently game on the Xbox One console probably still have their 360. So we all recall how the 360's interface was set up and the features that it supported. So, my main question here is, where is the awesome visualizer that the 360 came with at launch?

When playing music or having a party, this thing was a great feature to have. A multitude of different effects and interactivity made the visualizer something viable to put on your TV while having people over or just blasting music around the house.
Such a variety of eye candy, and received so well by gamers, I have no idea where this feature went! Game Prophet paid its dues and invested in an Xbox One at launch - so where is the visualizer that should be included?

I have searched high and low for information on this topic yet keep coming up short. I see forum post requesting the visualizer's comeback, but no action or statement from Microsoft! I don't rely on the Xbox One to play music, but even if I'm streaming it from my laptop or Spotify, I want the trippy display on my TV for all to admire.
Don't get me wrong, Microsoft has done a fabulous job of updating the Xbox One's interface since its initial release. I have been following its evolution closely via the Xbox Pre-release program that gives me a glimpse of the upcoming UI changes before they're officially posted. The interface is million times better than it was at launch and Smart Glass from your phone is superb. However, there's still something about that 360 music player that leaves me wondering where it went.
So, who else support the reinstatement of this feature? I want to hear your call-to-action in the comments section below. Together, we need to let Microsoft know that their 360 visualizer was really something special and needs to be ported to the One!
