@joey302 Thanks for the reply! I am guessing that it does play better on the PS5. I wonder if playing it on the Switch 2 is any better than the Switch 1?
I have tried looking to see if there were any patches/updates for 2, but haven't been able to confirm either way.
@FlamingBird The comment sections on this site have been joining the rest of the Internet as far as not always being the friendliest place to be. Luckily there is still a ways to go to equal Twitter and the like. 🙂
Normally the complaints are that "Nintendo Life only gives out 9s", so at least it is different today. 🙂
@mouseclicker I always find the 2nd opinions useful whether they are similar or not.
If they are similar, then you know not just one person feels that way, and if they are different, then I go back and carefully reread the reviews and make notes that help me decide to purchase or not.
@hanzel Very good deal! I couldn't tell if you had played it or not from your first comment, so I wanted to express that it is worth trying if you like the original.
@hanzel Do you not like Suika Game Planet? I think it is great. Similar but different enough gameplay to make it worthwhile for fans of the original Suika Game.
I bought Coin Pit because it was on sale for $1.99 and I wanted to play CloverPit on my TV instead of on my phone.
Even for just $2, I was really disappointed. It looks like CloverPit, but it is a watered down version that frankly is plain awful. I quickly deleted it from my Switch.
I keep hoping that CloverPit will come to Switch at some point. I bought the new DLC which came out recently, but haven't tried it yet.
@SoIDecidedTo Sometimes it takes me a few weeks to beat the higher levels, purple, orange and gold especially.
There are a ton of factors. What jokers you have unlocked, what jokers you get, when you get said jokers, what deck you are playing and finally what cards you get. I love me some Balatro!

Re: PSA: This Is Your Last Chance To Grab The Awesome Arcade Racer 'Horizon Chase Turbo'
@joey302 Has Horizon Chase 2 received any updates? The review here says it isn't as smooth as Turbo.
Re: A New Tetris Game Is Heading To Switch Next Week
Does anyone like Tetris Worlds?
I have never played it myself, and I have heard it isn't among the best, but I hope to play it someday.
Re: Review: R-Type Dimensions III (Switch) - A Novel Remaster But A Purist's Nightmare
@BTB20 @DashKappei
I saw it listed for $60 also, either earlier this week or last week, but I just checked and it is now $35.

Don't sleep on Elementallis either if you like classic top down Zelda. Great game!

@nhSnork What was the previous game in the series?
Re: My Nintendo Store Is Changing Its Name This Month
Glad I bought physical, I can still enjoy the "My" after it is long gone.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects (April 2026)
Beyond Words is my favorite!
Scrabble in a Balatro world, works way better than I thought it would.
Re: Gallery: 8BitDo Improves Upon Its Stellar Arcade Controller For Switch 1 & 2
I don't know if my old brain would be able to learn to use buttons instead of a joystick or crosspad, but this looks cool.

@shake_zula No worries. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 🙂
Re: Reminder: Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard From Vampire Survivors Out Now For Switch 1 & 2
@Henchdog No problem. I am glad we have this option instead of having to buy it twice.
Re: Reminder: Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard From Vampire Survivors Out Now For Switch 1 & 2
@Henchdog There is a free upgrade in the eShop. It doesn't show up until you buy the Switch 1 version.
Re: Sanrio Party Land Announced For Switch 1 & 2, More Sanrio Games Teased
@MirrorFate2 That's a real bummer.

I am really enjoying the City Town DLC.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream: Beginner's Guide - Tips & Tricks
@vanYth Thanks, one of residents finally asked for new clothes. I wanted to get the hamster costume before I bought the game.
Re: Vampire Crawlers Switch 2 Listing Pops Up On eShop
@Scapetti They are changing a premium for a Switch 2 logo and Fire Flower that you will rarely see. Not worth it in my opinion.
Re: Vampire Crawlers Switch 2 Listing Pops Up On eShop
I am hoping there will also be a Switch 2 upgrade for Vampire Survivors. It could use a bit more power for when stuff gets really crazy.
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream: Beginner's Guide - Tips & Tricks
I am just starting the demo. I have 3 residents, but I can't get the clothing store to unlock. Is there anything else I need to do?

Re: Mini Review: Beyond Words (Switch) - Addictive In The Best Ways, But Totally Copies Balatro's Homework
@shake_zula Interesting. I think the graphics are more than fine, and the gameplay is so fun that it wouldn't matter to me either way.
Hope you are able to give it another go at some point. There are a lot of cool unlocks that I have found so far.
Re: Level-5's 'Snack World' RPG Is Getting A Full-Blown Remake On Switch 2

Re: Looks Like 'Elden Ring' Will Be A Pricey Game-Key Card Release On Switch 2
@Jade37 Cool, thanks!
Re: Mini Review: Beyond Words (Switch) - Addictive In The Best Ways, But Totally Copies Balatro's Homework
@bixente I know, big bummer. Oh well...
Re: Looks Like 'Elden Ring' Will Be A Pricey Game-Key Card Release On Switch 2
@StorminNorman I am just curious about the size because I will go the digital route when the time comes for me to purchase.
I don't know for sure, but it sounds like any game will run faster if it is digital compared to physical.
I got a 1TB SD card for Christmas, but I don't want to use 300 gb for 1 game, at least until express SD cards are much cheaper.
Re: Looks Like 'Elden Ring' Will Be A Pricey Game-Key Card Release On Switch 2

The company that makes Cloverpit has teased a big announcement for tomorrow. Hopefully it is Cloverpit for Switch!
Re: Mini Review: Beyond Words (Switch) - Addictive In The Best Ways, But Totally Copies Balatro's Homework
Sadly not available until tomorrow. ☹️
This looks like a lot of fun!

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.

@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.
