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. đ
@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.
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.

Is there any new single player content, or is it exclusively for multiplayer?

Re: Alex Turns Heel As 'The Man With No Allies' In Street Fighter 6 Trailer
@DashKappei đ 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. đ
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. đ
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.

@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. đ
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 "đ".
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: 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.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The New Kirby Air Riders amiibo?
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.

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: 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)

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.
