Here's a bit of a hint.
For joker bonuses, a pair counts as any hand that contains a pair, like two pair, full house, and three of a kind on up to five of a kind. Likewise for any joker that buffs a three of a kind hand will count for any of the previous hands aside from pairs, and so on. Planet cards are exempt from this, as they only buff the individual hand type, which can make a massive difference when even a pair of cards can be stronger than a full house.
Work around your strengths, and don't fear losing, sometimes just getting something you haven't acquired before may help for future unlocks.

The only real issue I have is the fact they switched out the Orchestral DQ Opening Theme that even the Switch had to a lower quality 16-bit(?) version, its extremely jarring and noticeable during the opening cinematic as it also removes ALL the sound effects.

Otherwise, its a much better version overall. No more needing to carry a spare set of equipment in case something breaks, every bit of equipment is infinite durability.
Slightly higher starting HP, not much of a difference really, but a bit better for the early game if you want to try and cheese some of the field bosses in the first area before hunger or time activates (to note, both only become active after one of the intro quests).
A full digit higher for max stackable inventory items.
Plus every DLC including whatever the mobile and console versions got.

It's not as long as it's sequel, roughly about a quarter the time maybe? But the real meat is the Terra Incognita anyway, to unlock and just build whatever. Build height has been buffed too.

A mix of Metroidvania and Danmaku games with a bit of Mega Man Zero, there's a little something for everyone.

+ VERY non-leniar (though you need to advance the story to unlock some areas)
+ Multiple difficulty levels
+ Bunny

- Difficulties above hard are locked until you clear the previous difficulty, yes this is my only nitpick.

~ A bit easy to get yourself out of your depth in some areas, I wound up beating one boss well before I should've, but the game does take into count what you have done and adjusts the difficulty of some fights (other bosses gain more health, though the method of how the game checks is a bit beyond me, though I suspect it's a combination of item percentage and bosses cleared), though by the end of the game you should have a handle on what is where for future playthoughs.
~ There is a leveling system for your weapons, but it kinda falls short early on as you will max out your weapons (Hammer, Carrot, and Fairy) fairly quickly. You most likely will forget about the leveling all together after hitting the first chapter.

Really, a VERY excellent game all around.
