I've been trying to get this (on the SNES) for about ten years now, after playing through a chunk of it on a PC emulator running way too slow about 20 years ago. But the secondary market prices are mad (especially as I'd have to import from the US), so a Switch port was a godsend. Does it hold up to those expectations though?
Yes and no. The battle systems are fun, the script witty and the art nice, but the game is surprisingly short and almost trivially easy. I completed the main story in about 14 hours (and that was with taking my time) and the only game over I got was from attempting the secret boss too early. Beyond that I don't think I ever came close to defeat.
