Version on cart is 1.0.2 and no patches available, so this game is complete on cart.
100% completed the game with all collectibles. (All 120 fireflies).

The game build is very solid. Hardly any issues but there are a couple of things everyone should be aware of.

First, there are frame rate dips in the background. The frames seem to drop in the background every other second or so. Didn’t bother much, especially in handheld mode. Although, on a television, it is definitely much more noticeable. If you are sensitive to this sort of thing, we would suggest handheld mode for sure.
There also where a couple of times where the entire game would drop a frame and freeze for a second but it fixed itself quickly. Super minor annoyance, nothing major.
Second issue noticed, is the character would sometimes behave in a weird way. For example, If you jump into a wall, the character would just keep floating mid jump. Happened a total of 5 to 6 times during the entire playthrough.

Third thing worth mentioning is load times. Sometimes when a new chapter needs to load, the game does seem to take a bit longer than one would have expected. Just keep in mind that not all load times are slow, most are relatively quick.
