Upgrade for Nintendo Switch 2's launch title, Fantasy Life: Instead of Nintendo's pricier $10 Zelda editions, this life sim RPG will set you back only an additional $2.59.
In a surprising move, developer and publisher Level-5 has announced that the acclaimed life simulation RPG, "Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time," will receive an upgrade for the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console. This enhanced version, priced at a negligible $2.59, will be available as a launch title for the new console on June 5.
While the Switch 2 Edition has been labeled an "upgrade pack," it seems no new content will be added. However, the pack promises several significant enhancements over the original Switch version. Gamers can anticipate reduced load times, faster game launches, more crystal-clear visuals, smoother animations, and a higher frame rate.
Initial comparisons reveal noticeably increased clarity in the Switch 2 version. These improvements follow the trend of cheaper options for new-generation upgrades, in stark contrast to the $10 required for upgraded versions of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Tears of the Kingdom" for those who already own the original versions.
First released last week, "Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time" marked the return of the Fantasy Life series since the 2012 3DS game. The game combines popular elements like fishing, farming, home décor, and island terraforming with Zelda-like dungeons, combat, open-world exploration, and RPG mechanics. As a result, the game offers a rich and diverse experience appealing to a wide range of players. It has already found itself in conversations surrounding games of the year, alongside "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33," "Monster Hunter Wilds," and "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2."
