Indie developer, Playful Corp, has announced the extraordinary news that a new version of Super Lucky’s Tale, which released as an Xbox One X launch title in 2017, will be coming later this year to the Nintendo Switch. Instead of the game being a pure port of the original though, the Switch version will be a reimagined edition that incorporates major changes made by the developer to help this Banjo-Kazooie type platformer finally meet its full potential.
So, what exactly has changed, you may be asking? According to the developer’s website and twitter account, the title is receiving a full overhaul in every possible way.
Graphics have been greatly enhanced.

Sound, music, and character dialogue have been revamped.
