    Full price for an enhanced port of a DS game with terrible joy con controls.. Was it too hard to rework them and make more enjoyable experience overall with the gameplay?

    So take this with a grain of salt, But I was really dissapointed by this port.
    The controls are useless. Either you have to mess up your hands, or play with the worst joycon experience I have tried. It worked much better for the ds since you had the stylus abd the ds could be placed on a table, while the switch can't with touch control.

    The design, and story overall seems really good, and the music is amazing, but the controls made it so I could not get bast much, since by hands begane to hurt more than an 10 hour session with smash bros    … Expand

    The game doesn't feel as good to play as it did on the original DS. Rather, they dumbed it down and remastered the phone version rather than remastering the DS version. Don't get me wrong, the story and music is still good, but the controls and removal of a true partner system are hideous changes.

    Partners no longer feel unique or fun to play, they're just tagged on as an extra badge to use. They no longer have fun or unique mechanics like they did in the DS version.

    I've only played handheld mode but it just feels super wrong not having access to a real partner system and Square Enix just throwing out the best feature in the game.    … Expand

    The story Is good but the controls (only touchscreen) Is total **** Terribile. And the game don't save before the finale boss. The game don't deserve a low rating, but this ****ty controls are **** unforgivable.

    Due to it’s weird control issues, The World Ends With You: Final Remix could be hard to recommend to most players if not for everything else it does so well. It’s fantastic story and characters, beautiful designs and unique gameplay more than make up for the occasional wrist strain, but just be warned going in that it’s not like any other title you’ve played.

    You can safely sit this one out unless you're a diehard fan. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 68]

    iOS and Android versions of TWEWY couldn’t handle the unique combat system with two different fights on two different DS screens, so they cut one of them. Switch port mutilates the game even further. [Issue#234, p.74]
