I love my Switch 2 don't get me wrong, but they look identical.

Looks like a significantly improved framerate and higher res. But not something I would expect to pay for without the additional content.

After these kinds of upgrades... if Nintendo goes BACK to 'almost 30fps', every nintendo fanboy deserves to be punched!

It's very noticable for me. The original has frame dips into what looks like the 20's and enemies not directly in front of Kirby animate at 15 fps. This is a big improvement.

Apologies my wording wasn't clear.
I don't think the graphical upgrade alone is worth it (such gains should be a free patch), however the additional content is what will command the additional cost.

I loved the game but if only thing it had was graphical upgrade I wouldn't bother since I already 100% the game on original Switch.
The additional content is reason I'm getting the upgrade.

I didn't think 30fps really broke the original game when I played it, if anything it added a kind of weird motion blur effect. I think it only looks bad in comparison vids cuz it was really struggling to run on the hardware.

IDK thse graphics are way better at 60 fps, the motion fluidity really makes everything look better. But in terms of gameplay, yeah, the game has very generous dodge window so it doesn't affect in that sense.

Please, consder yourself virtually punched :-D. This kind of artictic vibe is SO MUCH BETTER in a stable 60 fps environment :-D

it does actually seem to run at 1440p here. back during the treehouse stream, multiple shots I looked at came back as 1080p. so either they have a dynamic resolution in place, and the spots in that treehouse stream just happened to drop the resolution at those points, or they didn't have the performance fully dialed in back then and just dropped the resolution until it was polished enough.
every edge I found gave me 20/30 steps (although in the second one, one of the steps is almost swallowed due to the angle)

Kirby games are among Nintendo's easiest. There is also an easy mode on top of that.

you are asking us to rate this between a 2 and a 2.5 here lol
the difficulty scaling between these 2 game is very narrow, and both are insanely easy games
that is not an issue with difficulty I think, and just a case of he's bad at one game and good at the other.
it's like Elden Ring bosses, some find one particular boss super hard, and another easy... while person 2 would rank them the exact opposite way around.
imo DK Bananza is far easier than Mario Odyssey for example, simply because your Bananza powers are insane at some point, and you can upgrade your stats to a point where you are basically immortal.
so I think he was maybe just overwhelmed with the controls, or the concept of Bananza.
Kirby, generally, is pretty simple in terms of structure and controls. so I think it's way easier to grasp than either Odyssey or Bananza.
they are all very equally easy imo, but Bananza's concept is harder to get your head around since you have to use your mechanics for it to be easy. Mario Odyssey has a lot of depth, but most of it can be done by using the most basic movement and therefore it's also very easy to grasp. Kirby doesn't even have the depth of Mario Odyssey, and it has a fully guided camera and more linear levels.
so i'd say on the scale of easy to understand to hard to understand, it's Kirby > Odyssey > Bananza. if you grasp either of them, they are all similarly easy tho

Kirby is easier than both. Perfect game for an 8 year old.
