From what I’ve seen online, these new releases also have new difficulty/assist settings, higher resolution textures, run at 4K (when docked on Switch 2), and the cutscenes are not just upscaled but have been re-rendered with an improved aspect ratio.

Not to kill the vibe (if you’re having fun then by all means continue) but replying is probably the worst thing you can do - all you’re doing is telling the spammers that you have an active email address, so they’ll send more spam.
