I am not sure how some can call Nintendo greedy for charging $5 for the Switch 2 upgrade, when they gave us both the 2.0 and 3.0 updates for free. They could have easily charged $20 for those and most people would have bought them, myself included.
Anyway, I am giving the content of the Switch 2 upgrade a 7. It gave me what I wanted most, faster loading times and better graphics, but impatient old me would still like the loading times to be even faster. 🙂
@FaroreAbhorsen I know what you mean. In the case of Fantasy Life i specifically, while what on the cart would be great, the game has improved so much since launch that buying a physical copy is buying just half of the game.
I pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe Edition, because I loved the 3DS Fantasy Life, and I wasn't aware of the Japanese physical copy, but I don't have any regrets. Fantasy Life i is one of my all time favorite games.
@Rhaoulos Right now the physical release of Fantasy Life is missing so much content and quality of life features that have been added since launch, I don't think it would be worth having. Fantasy Life i is definitely worth having, I have played over 300 hours already, and haven't done everything yet.
I haven't seen this before, but I'm sure it has happened before. There is a supporter pack for $2.99 which gives you a choice of two different dogs to add to your boat. This is to hopefully fund some DLC so there will be more fish to catch.

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th February (North America)
Thinking about getting Lil Gator Game.
Any fans?
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Promises A Chunky Main Story With "More Things To Experience" After Credits
@YoshiTails If so, hopefully this is more fun than the play test. I didn't like that at all.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario Tennis Fever For Switch 2?
Will probably get at some point.
The different rackets with different special abilities looks cool.
Re: Subnautica & Subnautica: Below Zero Appear To Be Getting Switch 2 Upgrades
All this time I thought "Below Zero" was Subnautica 2. 🤦
Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Starting Lineup Revealed, Includes More Than 10 Titles
I have a feeling Console Archives will come to Switch 1 at some point. It would be dumb not to.
Re: Fantasy Life i's Latest Update Is Now Available On Switch 1 & 2, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
This is an awesome update!
Very glad they added Dark Dragon weapons and tools. That Dark Dragon sword by Dark Don has been taunting me by not being available until now.
Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Is The Closest We'll Get To Virtual Console In 2026
@JJtheTexan I've played it a little bit, I didn't notice any lag.
I did notice how my skills have diminished. I used to be good at this game, and I am awful right now. 😄
Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Is The Closest We'll Get To Virtual Console In 2026
I can confirm that Ninja Gaiden II also includes the Japanese version.
Makes me hope they bring Ninja Gaiden III to Console Archives so I can play the Japanese version since it has unlimited continues.
Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Is The Closest We'll Get To Virtual Console In 2026
There is button customization, screen options, and save & load features, so that is pretty cool.
Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Is The Closest We'll Get To Virtual Console In 2026
I am curious if the Console Archives series will include any extra modes like the Arcade Archives series.
Re: Preview: So Far, Super Mario Bros. Wonder On Switch 2 Isn't Making A Great Case For Itself
I wish they would at least make the upgrades free for a month so we could see if it was something we wanted to purchase.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th January (North America)
Somehow I feel like I have already played Diver, Catch and Cook Simulator...
Re: Nintendo Responds To Dispatch Switch Censorship With Official Statement
This could be a brilliant marketing campaign by AdHoc.
Would this game be talked about this much without the controversy?
Re: Random: Bubbles Or Hugh? The Tomodachi Life Nintendo Direct May Have Been Different In Your Region
Hugh Morris and Humorous are the same person!
Re: Nintendo Restricting Some Image Sharing Features For Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream
This is obviously a way to protect Nintendo from being sued.
Based on some of the comments on the articles on NintendoLife, it appears to be a very smart decision.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
Is there any new single player content, or is it exclusively for multiplayer?
Re: Review: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (Switch 2) - A Big, Bold Reimagining, And A First-Class Port
Does anyone know what is special about the "Limited Early Purchase Edition"?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition?
@fpcreator2000 That's part of the 3.0 update.

Re: Level-5 Teases More Updates For Inazuma Eleven And Fantasy Life i, Coming Soon
@FaroreAbhorsen Just saw this. Maybe we can link up this weekend.
Re: Review: Cassette Boy (Switch) - A Dimension-Flipping Zelda-like With A Unique Hook
Looks cool, already on my wishlist!

Just my 2 cents. 🙂
Re: Alex Turns Heel As 'The Man With No Allies' In Street Fighter 6 Trailer
@DashKappei 😄 Me either!
No offense to Richard Simmons intended, but that's a bad look for Andore. Not sure what they were thinking.
Re: Alex Turns Heel As 'The Man With No Allies' In Street Fighter 6 Trailer
@DashKappei Richard Simmons on steroids?
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th January (North America)
@topsekret It is a little suspicious when you have to put "AAA" in the title. 🙂
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th January (North America)
@SuperWeird They have an extra mode, so it would only be better if that mode interests you.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting The New Joy-Con 2 Set?
I only buy my controllers digitally nowadays, so I am going to have to pass. 🙂
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th January (North America)
@nhSnork Thanks! The whole bundle is currently on sale for $7. Sounds like it is a good deal right now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th January (North America)
@nhSnork Are the AAA games any good?

Re: Suika Game Planet Now Available On US eShop For Switch 1 & 2
There is also DLC that turns most of the fruit into planets. I believe the watermelon is still a watermelon though.
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Reaches Another Major Sales Milestone, New Update Announced
@silver-crescent There have been so many additions and improvements since release that I don't think the current physical copy would be worth getting.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th December (North America)
@JohnnyMind No worries. 🙂
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th December (North America)
@JohnnyMind How is the Splintered Fate upgrade?
Re: Street Fighter 6 Update To Add The UI From '3rd Strike', 'Alpha 3', And More
@mlt No, I was just joking that I wanted to pay more. 🙂
Re: Street Fighter 6 Update To Add The UI From '3rd Strike', 'Alpha 3', And More
@mlt I was just joking. I forgot to add a "🙂".
Re: Street Fighter 6 Update To Add The UI From '3rd Strike', 'Alpha 3', And More
@mlt I am of the other school. I don't think any of this will cost enough.
Re: Mini Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (Switch 2) - Just Hugely Disappointing
@MattmanForever It is a lazy port, but that isn't the Switch 2's fault.
Re: Mini Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (Switch 2) - Just Hugely Disappointing
@DreadfulDragon My apologies, my interpretation of your comment was incorrect.
I agree, lazy port for sure.
Re: Mini Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (Switch 2) - Just Hugely Disappointing
@DreadfulDragon The Switch 2 never claimed to be able to bump everything up to 60 fps automatically.
Re: Nintendo's Shares Take A Tumble Amid Renewed Chip Shortage Worries
@westman98 That's what I figured, but weird that Nintendo was singled out.
Re: Nintendo's Shares Take A Tumble Amid Renewed Chip Shortage Worries
Has this affected PlayStation or XBox as well?
Re: Reminder: Virtual Boy For Switch And Switch 2 Are Available On The My Nintendo Store
Went for the expensive plastic version. I never got to play a Virtual Boy, so I am looking forward to this.
I still wish they would have released the Virtual Boy games on 3DS instead.
Re: No Gravity Games Is Giving Away 10 Free Switch Games This Month (North America)
@Anachronism It is funny how much anger this article creates every year.
Re: Site News: So, Where's Our Metroid Prime 4 Switch 1 Review?
@Dang_69 The game card has both the Switch 1 and 2 versions on it. Pretty cool in my opinion.
Re: Site News: So, Where's Our Metroid Prime 4 Switch 1 Review?
@Dang_69 You only get the Switch 1 content when played on a Switch 1.
