The enhanced edition of the original title was touted as offering "the same nightmare, but now more vivid and intense," reinforcing the studio's dedication to leveraging current hardware capabilities. The confirmation of simultaneous launch dates and thoughtful upgrades for both titles underscores Bandai Namco's ongoing support for the Nintendo ecosystem.
