It's the complete package - a superb game boosted to 1080p on Switch. Plenty of visual changes make the cut, but there is perhaps a hankering to see more from future Wii U conversions.

UPDATE [9/01/19]: the 13GB Wii U file size mystery is solved. The understanding is that extra videos are stored on the U + Luigi game disc, and digitally too. Meanwhile Switch avoids taking up so much space by simply offering an option to stream them - making 2.5GB possible for a cartridge.
