The Nintendo Switch - Japanese Limited Edition Cartridge HD Release has:

Aesthetic changes:

• Menus in Japanese by default (but can switch to English)
• Nintendo Switch touchscreen/joycon/pro controller configurations in the - button menu.
• Massive cleanup on Issun's NG+ menu.

Functional changes:

• Cut-Scene skips by default (no NG+ required, mash the + button)
• Day/night transitions are also skippable by default.
• KT fix (No KT skips, sorry) Tested in NG+ on this version buffered/unbuffered.
• Loading screens can be restored to offer the player opportunities for demon fangs in the - button menu via the "Minigames" setting. This is NOT enabled by default. It is random wether or not you reach the Wii "paw mashing" loading screen or the PS2 "step timing" loading screen for your demon fangs. This is not configurable, its random which screen you get
• No achievement system, achievements need to be tracked manually for platinum% on this platform
• Camera angle is fully adjustable in brush mode with the right stick (with proper manouvering, Queen Spider fights are pushovers in this version) Its possible to zoom the brush cam out by wiggling the stick in a corner where it collides to use your brush techs out of range from where you normally could.
• Kamui's tree can be bloomed through the cursed zone without climbing up to its alcove. Double-jump from the roof of the hut and go into brush mode at the top of the jump, adjust cam and perform the wiggle trick to get the brush cam above the cursed zone smoke. (saves about 1m20s going around the area to bloom it)
• Taka Tree skip is PROBABLY possible with brush cam range clipping but I have NOT tested this yet.

I bought the Japanese cart release (not the digital North American release) for the bonus items it came with. Software version says: Ver 1.0.0. If someone can confirm the current digital release software version for me, that'd be great. (this is a cartridge version that came in a limited edition release pack, the titlecard language defaults to Japanese and has to be changed to English to read) Wether or not levitation glitch is present in this version I don't know yet. (though very near the end of a 100% file to check). JP carts work on a North American Switch with a Japanese region alt account.

Splitting things up for easy moderation is a grand idea. I think it will help us stay focused and to ease the overwhelming volume of traffic from one consolidated forum.

This is a smart decision considering in the coming months a lot of attention will be drawn to the series by the release of KH3, getting the organization out of the way foremost is a great idea.
