As someone who owns this on the New 3DS and owns the PC version....I'm not sure why anyone would have expected the full/updated version to the PC. A. This port is based on the Mobile version, which nearly all current console ports mostly work off, which is outdated compared to the PC version. With that alone it should have been expected this would be outdated at least at the start. B. This is a big game, not allot of people realise this from looking at the art style but never played the game. To defeat all the bosses in the PC version takes months of average gameplay to do first time round. To fit that into a downloadable file would be difficult. C. You are not buying this for the full version, or at least you shouldn't be. It's a portable version, so you should be buying it for that portability, or if it's the only version you can get because you only own a 3DS and nothing else (at that point I have no idea if you can complain or not, weird case).
However, the massive difference in the 3DS and New 3DS this review says are apparent, thats a problem, especially considering they should have built this port for the regular 3DS (and their blog seems to say so, including mentions of adding features to the 3DS version). That is a fair and well addressed complaint.
Overall though, I do enjoy this review overall, just kinda wished it would have focused less on the PC version. Most of the complaints I have posted here are directed at people who don't quite get how a port to a low end system works.
