Widescreen resolution

Build 2765014 features support for 16:9 widescreen and the menus all fit in a single screen similarly to the Nintendo Switch port.
Some assets are directly ported from 3DS version while others are remade in much higher resolution. See in-game general screenshot for demonstration, where buttons and text on sides are higher quality than the rest of the assets.

Issues fixed

Very low frame-rate

This should have been dealt with update Build 756226[3] and Build 760608.[4] Developer suggests turning off V-sync if the issue remains.

Game process running in background after closing the game

The game would remain running in the background despite closing the game down. This issue should be addressed with Build 2770885.[5]
