TLDW the Switch version has lower texture quality compared to other consoles, and is locked to 30fps with ocassional drops to 20fps or below in battles or scenes with many enemies

I thought this was just a straightforward up-res job. I had no idea they had actually gone in and redone textures and assets. Seems like a good amount of work was actually put into this.
This video made me bite the bullet. I’ve never played this game before but have always wanted to, and the price here is definitely right. I went for the PS5 version, though. The downgrades on Switch are a bit too much for me.

I have read that they finally fixed the camera controls in this version of the game. I can’t wait to play it again.
For some reason I prefer the old graphics and haven’t even played the game. I agree the new one is technically better, but something about original tone and colour is lost imo.

Definitely will watch later. Do they cover the difference between this, and BGE HD in backwards compat on Series X? Because the comparisons I’ve been seeing between them look very similar, and I’m on the fence about spending another $20.

Is this game still worth it as a first time player?

This meant to hold the fans over until the sequel’s out?

I actually like the look of the switch version more than the PS5 version. The PS5 version gives me “[Super Mario 64 Ultra Realistic 4K HD Textures](https://emulationking.com/nintendo/n64/games/supermario64/texturepacks/nintemods/Nintemod-Super-Mario-64-Texture-Pack-Pic-04.jpg)” vibes, they’re far too detailed for the simplistic character models and I think the lower resolution textures fit them a lot more. Shame about the performance though.
