@RennanNT Isn't the other way arguably even more difficult?
Edit: I just watched a video going through the alternate route. Since you don't have the double jump yet, I am wondering if I could get through all that. It is tough enough with the double jump.
@Kiz3000 Believe it or not, a lot of Act 2 is easier than Act 1. The problem is that you have to beat the Last Judge to get to Act 2. Probably took me 5+ hours to beat her. I recommend not using any tools at first. Just keep practicing until you memorize the whole fight, then when you got that down, add tools (tacks worked great for me) and destroy!
I understand that you feel that way, but you have the power to not let it be an issue. Once you get over this hurdle, you can get back to enjoying the games.
@Anachronism I don't understand how this is a marketing strategy, since this is free content that isn't even necessary to the story.
You also wouldn't have to schedule your life to acquire this content since building a habitat for a Pokemon only takes a minute or two. If you know that you are going to buy a game and not play it for a few minutes during the two week time period of the event, then I would question why this would bother you so much. It would appear that you don't like the game itself.
@Kiz3000 Once you know all of the Boss Blinds, you can start preparing for the difficult ones when you first start.
I also prepare my deck for certain jokers. For instance, the Blackboard Joker give you a X3 multiplier if you only have black cards remaining in your hand, so I start changing the hearts and diamonds to spades and clubs as soon as I can pretty much every game.
It also just depends on what cards and jokers you get. Some games you are just going to lose no matter what you do.

Re: Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Has Been Delisted From Switch eShop
@RainbowGazelle Not really. They can't make any more physical copies either.
Re: Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Has Been Delisted From Switch eShop
@Tasuki If you would have read the article, you would have seen that there wasn't any warning about it becoming unavailable.
Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
@PtM My apologies, I forgot to see if you were also in the US before I commented. Please disregard my previous comments. 🙂
Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
@ShadLink We have an inferiority complex. 🙂
Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
@PtM It most likely would have been 70 before this announcement anyway.
Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
@PtM How so? I don't think there are any 1st party Switch 2 games that are $60.
Re: Hello Kitty Island Adventure Is Getting Brand-New DLC Next Month
I still want to know if we ever get to go in the building right behind Pochacco. It has been taunting me for over a year!
Re: PSA: Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup In Bellabel Park Demo Now Available At Switch 2 Kiosks (North America)
@Member_the_game Yeah, I don't know why the need to make the demo in-store only.
Re: PSA: Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup In Bellabel Park Demo Now Available At Switch 2 Kiosks (North America)
I wish we could download a demo from the eShop.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokémon Pokopia?
@Metazoxan Is the "Search" ability supposed to help you find Pokemon? I thought it was just for buried treasure.
Re: Yoshi Popcorn Bucket Announced For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
My wife just told me that I am a waste of money and resources.

@tblal The cross isn't the traditional style d-pad?
Re: Review: Mobapad Chitu2 HD Controller For Switch 1 & 2 - Almost Beats Nintendo At Its Own Game
@Misima The third set of pictures shows a d-pad as one of the options.
Re: Xbox Announces Next Generation Console, Will Play "Xbox And PC Games"
Getting ready for some Heroes of Might and Magic III!
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Limited-Time Special Event Announced - "More Spores For Hoppip"
@hypercoyote Understand what, your FOMO?
I understand that you feel that way, but you have the power to not let it be an issue. Once you get over this hurdle, you can get back to enjoying the games.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Limited-Time Special Event Announced - "More Spores For Hoppip"
@hypercoyote That's a lot of hyperbole. Hope you find some middle ground.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Limited-Time Special Event Announced - "More Spores For Hoppip"
@hypercoyote FOMO is a two way street. If you don't let it bother you, then it doesn't exist.
Don't let FOMO run your life. 👍

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Limited-Time Special Event Announced - "More Spores For Hoppip"
@Altaria_97 Why does solo content make it worse?
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Limited-Time Special Event Announced - "More Spores For Hoppip"
@Anachronism If you want it to stay exactly the same as when you purchased it, why not just not participate in the events?
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Limited-Time Special Event Announced - "More Spores For Hoppip"
@Switching Don't you think it should be a monthly subscription plan? $15 a month to have access the events seems fair. 😄
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 3rd March 2026
I am always excited to see what Indie World has to show. A lot of my favorites have gotten previews here.

Balatro II: The Revenge!
Re: Balatro's Back To Steal All Your Spare Time In New Switch 2 Version
@Burning_Spear Very cool! Winning the Gold level really feels good!
Re: Balatro's Back To Steal All Your Spare Time In New Switch 2 Version
If anyone doesn't own the game yet, buy the Switch 1 version and then get the free Switch 2 upgrade.
You will then have both versions!
Re: Balatro's Back To Steal All Your Spare Time In New Switch 2 Version
@anoyonmus Go to the eShop using the Switch 2. That's how I got it.
Re: Balatro's Back To Steal All Your Spare Time In New Switch 2 Version
@ShadLink I know, but it is a nice joker for early game.

Re: Mailbox: A Good Switch 2 Console Pairing, Fun With Strangers, Sterility - Nintendo Life Letters
I would like to get a Steam Deck someday. It would be cool to play Heroes of Might and Magic III in handheld mode.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening
NA
I "need" my Zelda covers to be gold if at all possible. 🙂
Re: Review: Virtual Boy For Switch 1 & 2 - Is It Really Worth Revisting Nintendo's Greatest Folly?
It's weird reading a comment section where everyone is positive and happy. 🙂
Re: 'Can You Use Labo VR Goggles For Virtual Boy Games On Switch?' & Other Nintendo Classics VB Questions Answered
@rjejr I think the other apps you use either L + R or ZL + ZR (I can't remember which). You might try that.
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"?
