Glad to see this gem getting a wider release; that art style deserves to be seen on every screen. Hopefully the extra dev time means they'll smooth out the repetitive bits for the new platforms.
It's cool to see more console exclusives branching out, though I hope the ports do justice to that unique stop-motion style. Fingers crossed the Switch 2 version holds up without losing its visual charm.
