Yes indeed both games will be released as a Simon the Sorcerer: 25th Anniversary Edition double bill, featuring new gameplay controls built from the ground up, hotspot based gameplay with no more pixel hunting, new slick icons and animations, quick right click actions, a new game menu and save load, and a new HD graphics mode that upscales the game to high-resolutions! But if you're not keen on these *filters* you'll be pleased to know included are optional retro settings: play with original graphics, original music and even the original controls!
Loved these games back in the day, classic charming and puzzle-packed click-y fun with a lot of humour too, good memories.

Well the hotspots are a godsend because both games are a massive pixel hunt
Yeah, the optional remade interface + controls could be useful indeed if done right, there are pretty vast areas based on obsessive pixel-hunting involved which could get a bit too obscure at times. The abysmal vaseline filter on the other hand
I always prefer the traditional original pixels myself, but in some cases when actual efforts are put into the remastering job I don't mind some modernization as well for a change. Monkey Island 1&2's Special Edition with the complete redesign for instance were actually pretty nice to replay, the more recent Double Cunts' DoTT and Full Throttle Remastered were also pretty decent efforts in my opinion.
- Totally new, much praised, game play controls that were built from
the ground up.
* Hotspot based - no more pixel hunting!
* All-new slick icons and animations.
* Quick actions using right-click.
- Completely new game menus and save/load system.
- High-end graphics upscaling (xBRZ filter) for high-resolution displays.
- Optional retro settings: play with original graphics, original music
and even the original controls.
