Very faithful remake of the original. Original was already easy, and they made it more easy with this remake. Overall this game is made by fans of the original for fans of the original. That's definitely the audience this game is marketed towards.
Pros:
1. The post game content is short but fun. It made me wish there was more. Culex 3D was hype. It's corny, but I thought it was so cool that he came back in 3D form for a rematch saying he's stronger.
2. It's nice for those who do not have the SNES copy of the game to be able to buy this instead of paying anywhere from 50-100 dollars for a copy from some collector online. Sure you can also pirate the original game for free, but at the same time that could be said of this Switch remake too.
3. The triple team moves are a nice addition, but not needed. It's just something extra you can do in the game to have more fun.
4. Being able to easily teleport to other parts of the map with a few buttons presses is a great quality of life change.
5. I view it as a pro, but others can view it as a con as it makes the game easier, but seeing an ! mark of when you can press a button to do well-timed attacks and blocks is a great quality of life change, as it lets the player know what they are messing up on if they do not get the timing down.
Cons:
1. This game is short, but that's no surprise to anyone who played the original. At the same time the game being short is also a nice thing, as many games nowadays overstay their welcome and become a chore to finish.
N/A
1. On this remake I feel like there should have been voice acted lines, as this remake just feels empty during its many cutscenes of text running across the screen. I understand it's a faithful remake and so they did not want to ruin it with bad voice acting, but there could be an option to turn it off if you don't like it.
2. Comparing this game to other games of 2023 it's definitely not as complex, which is a good or a bad thing depending on who you are.
