While any other details on post-game content remain unknown, Famitsu’s recent screenshot upload shared more details than fans could have ever expected. From this wide variety of screenshots we’ve actually learned of three brand new inclusions to the upcoming remake, all of which will be quite fantastic inclusions for new and returning fans alike! It’s already well documented that the title is getting a major face lift and that shows very clearly as well in these screenshots, but for the time being we’ll focus strictly on the new features available to players.

At this time we don’t know what in particular changes in terms of difficulty between the two or whether or not the difficulty has been at all changed compared to the original release, but this is a wonderful inclusion for those who want a more relaxed adventure through this version of the Mushroom Kingdom. It’d be great if there was also a way to unlock a hard mode for those looking for a challenge, but we’ll
