If it looks this close to the OG Switch, then I think they will have a similar problem that they had with Wii/Wii U. People (parents, grand parents etc) will think this is just the same machine, only slightly upgraded with a bigger screen.
I think going for something that works is okay (no need to reinvent the wheel), but it should be unique in the way it looks at least.
@Aneira No problem. I've tried to warn people about this version of Carcassonne on reddit, youtube, facebook, metacritic. As I've said, there are plenty more wrong with this version.
-No online play. At all. -The AI takes forever to "think" of a move to make. Everywhere from 5-15 seconds. -You can't move the camera at or anything at all while the AI "thinks". -Framerate issues. -I really need a top-down view as well as the isometric view. -You have to hold A to end the turn, except for when you put a piece down and you can't put on any people on the piece, because then it's just auto-end-turn. I liked how the Xbox 360 version did this, just press X to end turn, don't hold it, and never auto-end the turn. -The price point is extremely high. On Xbox 360 I paid 66 NOK (about 10 USD at the time?), and much less on iOS and android. The Steam version (that is made from the same company) is 72 NOK. The Switch version is 190 NOK. -The game feels so slow, the AI that uses so much time to "think", the framerate issues, holding A to end turn, the super slow camera... The Xbox 360 version was super snappy over 10 years ago, and in every way the superior version to play.
@Aneira There is no online in this version of Carcassonne sadly... I wish eShop had a refund policy... There are lots of other problems with the game as well imo. I've played hundreds of hours of both the board game and xbox 360 version, and they are both great. This is not.

Re: Nintendo Updates Pikmin 4 To Version 1.0.1, Here's What's Included
My physical cart (PAL region) came with the 1.0.1 version. I didn't need to download anything.
