That's what's kinda telling to me. In the trailer, it looked objectively bad at times - like a lot of these older roms that Nintendo has shamelessly brought back into rotation.Hopefully they touch up the visuals a bit. I know it's a simplistic style but it felt like they could do a bit more to modernize it and justify the price
Its likely that Nintendo re-gauged interest after the debut, saw that AW was going to get a lot more attention than they had anticipated, and decided to actually do things right instead of bringing smoke upon themselves.
