    We talked a bit about this in a previous thread. The Switch has a massive user base, and the game is 20 years old, so there’ll be A LOT of people who haven’t played the original. It’ll also appeal to nostalgia for some of the people who played it when it came out. While Nintendo might be saving bigger titles for their next console, they still need to release stuff so people keep buying the Switch in the meantime. And my guess is remakes are cheaper and faster to publish than entirely new games.

    Also regarding new content, from the article in the linked thread:

    Thankfully, while most of its early levels are virtually identical to the original, the game’s fourth world is entirely new to the Switch version – the first of two new worlds in the remake – and it does introduce some original mechanics.

      thanks for the response, I’m actually pretty interested knowing there are two new worlds with some new mechanics, maybe I’ll pick this one up after all

        Did the original GB version have 120 levels? If not, that’s your answer.
