I was looking forward to this, but in all honesty, maybe it makes more sense to wait for the expansion to get the full experience all at once. Also, I want to know how it performs before buying it, even if Capcom has been incredible for Switch 2 so far.

Yeah, and i'm sure if you wait the expansion, you 'll pay less for a bundle with the dlc + the game.
