I don't have the game yet, but I listed it as a highest priority item on my Amazon wishlist. It seems like these new Amiibos that are extra expensive go on sale a lot quicker than you would expect, so if I get the game, I will keep a lookout for a cheaper price on these Amiibos.
@Ooccoo_Jr Good to know. Currently the only quest I have in my objectives is to beat the second Lace, but I can't say for sure if I have found all the side quests.
@Ramouz I am approaching 250 hours played. I think it is a lot of fun.
If you are on the fence, I recommend looking at some video reviews on YouTube. I found this creater "Miss Bubbles" who has a video review and a things to know before you play video that both helped me decide to take the plunge. Glad I did!
@DwaynesGames I agree, $10 isn't a ton of money, but I try to determine if I can get my money's worth out of a game before I purchase, especially if I haven't played the game before.
I am still considering this game though because it looks fun and this is probably my only chance to play it.
@theberrage If your cocoon spawned just outside the boss area, then you couldn't use it during battle, which would be worse in my opinion.
I always try to keep as many rosaries on strands as I can, so if I die or don't want to go back to the boss fight right away, I won't mind losing the small amount of rosaries I had on hand.
You can also use a Silkeater to get your cocoon back.
So far I have gotten my money's worth. I bought it when it was on sale, I believe it was $48 for the deluxe edition.
It is a lot like Animal Crossing. Starts off slow, but once you start getting visitors coming to your island it picks up. There is a lot to do, takes me about 1 1/2 hours to do everything every day.
I have had a ton of fun with this game, so I bought the DLC, no questions asked.
FWIW, based on the number of fast travel spots, the new area appears to be huge. Still too early for me to know if it is worth the money.
There was also a free update today. I don't know everything that was included, but I have already noticed some additional animations, updated icons and 3 visitors that were previously only available in the Apple Arcade version.
Edit: They have also updated the map, much more detail now. Looks great!
@Deemo37 I don't know what to do. I have faced the Last Judge a couple times and have gotten destroyed. Watching videos of people beating him just make me feel like I will never beat him.

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.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES And Game Boy Library With Four More Titles
@PeterTomlan86 I personally like the story and gameplay of Ninja Gaiden 2 better. I don't think you will be disappointed if you like the first game.
Re: Poll: 20 Years After Settling On DS, Do You Still Play Animal Crossing: Wild World?
I bought it on my Wii U right before the shop closed, but I haven't played it yet.

Sign me up, this looks amazing!
Re: 'Outbound' Brings Campervan Crafting And Open-World Road Trips To Switch 2 Next Year
Definitely interested. I hate camping in real life, but this looks fun!
Re: Hello Kitty Island Adventure - Switch 2 Edition Now Available, Includes Paid Upgrade For Switch
@rjejr The City is still Apple exclusive at the moment, but I saw it is coming to Switch sometime in 2026.
Re: Feature: 10 Years On, Is Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival Really That Bad?
I bought this brand new for $10 at either Walmart or Best Buy, I can't remember. I wanted the Amiibos, so it was a no brainer.
Still haven't tried the game. Maybe someday.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Update Announced, Here Are The Patch Notes
@Vyacheslav333 That is too much logic for a Monday morning on the Internet. 😄

@Ooccoo_Jr Do you know if I have to beat the First Sinner in order to get to Act 3?
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Turns 20 Today!
Congratulations!
Wow, I have been an avid reader here for 17 years!
I had finally gotten a Wii and was trying to find reviews for Wii games when I stumbled on NintendoLife. Glad I did!
Re: What Are The 100 Best Nintendo Games? Here's The Chance To Make Your Voice Heard
I am glad Wii Sports made it, but Wii Sports Resort should also be here. It is a much better game.
I would also add Final Fantasy, Zelda II, Mega Man 3, Fire Emblem Fates and probably several others that are escaping me at the moment.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Receives Its First Switch 2 Update (Version 1.0.1)
Amazon should be delivering mine tomorrow!
Re: The Atari 50 Pac-Man Expansion Launches On Switch Next Week
Can't wait! Keep the games coming!
Re: Review: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment (Switch 2) - A Stunning Slice Of Musou, Worthy Of The Zelda Canon
Hopefully this sells really well so we can get Switch 2 versions of the previous games.
Normally frame rate doesn't bother me much, but it makes a big difference in games like this.

Re: Review: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection (Switch 2) - A Killer Kompilation, But Online Is A Mess At Launch
@The_Nintendo_Pedant We'll have to agree to disagree. Celebration and Kollection are different things to me.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant Good thing it is called "Legacy Kollection" then.
Re: Review: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection (Switch 2) - A Killer Kompilation, But Online Is A Mess At Launch
@punchout87 That's pretty funny!

@punchout87 Invisible Victory! FATALITY! 🙂
Re: Review: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection (Switch 2) - A Killer Kompilation, But Online Is A Mess At Launch
Mortal Kombat Trilogy loads ultra fast here!
That is all I wanted, everything else is an awesome bonus! The load times on PS1 were horrible.
Re: Hello Kitty Island Adventure - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Has Been Rated
@vio Pretty sure you can turn that off somehow. I see people login without it telling me what game they are playing.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Nintendo's Cheapest Switch 2 Edition Yet
I am hoping there will be a much shorter loading time.

Re: The Next Arcade Archives Release Will Have Mouse Controls On Switch 1 & 2
I would like to try this game out, but I doubt I could get $8-$10 worth of entertainment out of it.

Re: Review: Hades 2 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Bewitching Sequel That's A Spell Off Perfect
@SoIDecidedTo You have to move the games via virtual game cards to whatever system you want to play on before traveling.

Re: Hello Kitty Island Adventure's Cuddly DLC Welcomes The Wheatflour Fairy Today
@anoyonmus Great. It stutters a tiny bit here and there, but nothing that would bother most people.
I have 100+ hours into it so far, with lots to do still.
Re: Review: Hollow Knight: Silksong - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Woven To Brutal Perfection
@Deemo37 I worked hard this weekend and beat the Last Judge. Took me 5 hours, but it very satisfying!
Re: Hello Kitty Island Adventure's Cuddly DLC Welcomes The Wheatflour Fairy Today
@rjejr How much is the base game on Apple Arcade?
So far I have gotten my money's worth. I bought it when it was on sale, I believe it was $48 for the deluxe edition.
It is a lot like Animal Crossing. Starts off slow, but once you start getting visitors coming to your island it picks up. There is a lot to do, takes me about 1 1/2 hours to do everything every day.

I am playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure and Silksong, and it is quite a difference in challenge, in a good way.

@Deemo37 Isn't the "secret route" insanely tough as well?
