Sure, why not? Will be nice to have a easy to get into (although hella difficult) platformer on the go.

iirc edmund and him had a falling out. i could be wrong, someone correct me if i am
So it's the shitty music? No thanks. The music makes.the difference between a game that is superior to every platformer ever made and forgettable mediocity. At least I still have the 360 and steam versions. This is like if they replaced John Williams score for Star Wars with random polka songs.
I completed Slime-San in handheld mode, which is a more difficult Super Meat Boy clone. Never had a single issue with the d-pad.
I agree but the game is a hard as nails platformer. It doesn't actually change the game in this case. If it was Uncharted or something sure.
You'd be surprised how important a good soundtrack is for ultra hard games. If you're going to hear the same song loop for hours at a time, it should be good
Not to say the new SMB soundtrack is annoying or anything, I haven't heard it, it's just that the old soundtrack was really, really good
The game is designed around a joystick
Maybe if you have never heard the original,.it might be playable, but it is impossible for me to enjoy it. When I got the free copy on PS4, I gave it a shot and was completely bored. Went back to the 360 version and got hooked back in.
Yeah, it's like Hotline Miami. The soundtrack is what made the game fun for me. Don't think I would have beaten it had it not been as memorable.
Suddenly I'm glad I didn't pay attention to the game when it first released. Since now I don't really know what the old music sounded like, I'll be able to enjoy the game and new music.
Please don't compare a Joy-Con to one of the best controllers out there.
Every time this game that I otherwise would happily play on a more portable system gets announced again I remember that they ruined the music so I can never play a newer version of it and I get sad.
The 360's d-pad is one of the worst ever made, which is what this conversation is about.
Yeah, I do agree. But I still 109%ed SMB with that new soundtrack. Like, of course it's not the complete experience. But that's like saying a hard of hearing person wouldn't enjoy the grueling, excellence platforming as much. But it exists independently of the sound...
New music is fine, imo. In any event, the game itself is amazing so you're in for a treat.
I never got the chance to play this game. I really should pick it up.
After I finish Xenoblade. And Skyrim. And a bunch of other indie titles I need to play.
Help.

360 has a far worse d-pad than Switch and I had no problems beating every single challenge in that version. Switch version will control fine.
I picked up the PS4 version and the new music totally ruined my experience with the game. The old music was so much better and it was one of the reasons why I enjoyed it on 360. Not sure if I want to pick this one up...
It is one of the best controllers. It also has one of the worst designed d-pads I've ever seen on a controller.
It's like Crazy Taxi without Offspring/Bad Religion. No thanks, and I'm ashamed to think this way.
You could mute the game and put on the old OST? I don't know, I think it's silly to focus on the soundtrack in what is a platforming game. It's not like this game is DKC2 or whatever.
They should try to get the original music back. I played it on PC originally and tried the PS4 version later. Made a huge difference IMO.
Oh nice! Well this game is a nice little bonus for those who haven't played it
The new music isn't that bad. The original is just god tier excellent. Have fun!
And that's whats gonna prevent me from every buying it again.
Never had a soundtrack for a game been so crucial to complimenting the gameplay.
Just imagine Mario 3 with fake Mario 3 music, or Super Metroid with fake Super Metroid music.
Or DKC 1, 2, and Tropical freeze without a David Wise soundtrack.
It's just not happening
Replacing the music ruins the new ports, that soundtrack is burned in my brain
Right. Imagine the shitstorm that would result if they rereleased Chrono Trigger and just threw out the original score. That's basically what this situation is to me.

The music is a damn shame, but the game is nearly peerless in terms of platforming. I'll pick it up if it gets a physical release. Wouldn't mind having it on the go.
