Digital version is 8.3 GB (excluding patches, any future dlc)
Basically the 3DS version with better graphics than the Wii version. Minus the stereoscopic 3D
No new levels. No new playable characters. No new cutscenes
Still had fun with the game, but I’d say Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is a way better game and should get that instead seeing the launch price of this title
-List of Changes
1. Graphics:
Slight update in graphics. Not as good as Tropical Freeze, but better than the Wii version. No “3D” in this version due to Switch hardware limitations
2. Added Levels
This is basically the Wii version the game but with 3ds levels included, or you can see it as it’s the 3ds version of the game with better graphics than the Wii version. More of the latter seeing the Modern Mode
3. Modern Mode
Easier difficulty mode giving you 3 hearts by default and more variety in Cranky Kongs Shop. Basically New Mode in 3DS version , but with a different name
4. No required motion controls
If we’re counting the Wii version of the game; no required motion controls
