Feels a bit uninspiring. Much rather have had a follow up to Tropical Freeze.
I'm kind of surprised this wasn't on the Switch already.
Nintendo tends to sit on finished games for months even years at a time, so this may have been ready for a while now but Nintendo is very smart at consistent releases and may have decided to push this one back a ways since the remainder of their year is pretty stacked. It's insane to think that a Wii/3DS port is still 7 months away from releasing.
I just beat the 3DS version this year. Otherwise I would have gotten this port.
Keep it , I know they have a new game finished already
