I’ll definitely be getting the NS2—because how could I possibly miss out on Pokémon? [sweat emoji]
Here’s my philosophy: never buy a console just to own it. Only invest if there are must-play titles calling your name. After all, gaming is the whole point! And since Pokémon is non-negotiable for me, this purchase is absolutely happening.
First, let’s address the console itself. The Japanese censored version? Not even a consideration—it’s practically identical to the Chinese version anyway. And let’s be real: who actually wants to squint at katakana all day? Even Japanese learners would agree.
Game-wise, remember how sparse the first-gen lineup was initially? History’s repeating itself—great libraries take time to grow. While launch titles might not wow us, writing off the entire NS2 era would be premature [laugh-cry emoji]. Patience pays off when waiting for both quality titles and sweet deals.
Here’s a handy upgrade: the second-gen’s power setup features detachable cables and adapters. Swapping the Hong Kong version’s British three-prong plug for a domestic two-prong one? Easier than catching a Pikachu!
That said, there’s a trade-off: the enhanced screen quality means battery life takes a hit compared to the first-gen’s extended version. Bigger games equal faster drainage—because apparently we can’t have it all: portability, cooling, and top performance [smirk emoji].
Bottom line? I’m 100% onboard—just not in any hurry. I might hold out for a killer special edition (Pokémon or Animal Crossing, anyone?). Realistically? Earliest I’d bite would be next year.

I totally get where you’re coming from about not buying a console just for the sake of owning it. For me, it’s all about the games—especially exclusives like Pokémon. If there’s a must-play title that speaks to you, it makes sense to invest. Still, I wonder how the censorship issue will affect player experience overall.
You bring up an important point about censorship and its impact on gaming experiences. While it can be frustrating, many developers find ways to deliver compelling stories despite these limitations. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference—some players might avoid certain regions altogether, while others focus on the gameplay itself. Thanks for sharing your thoughts; it’s always great to hear different perspectives!
I totally get why you’re getting the NS2 for Pokémon—it’s honestly one of the main reasons I’d consider it too. But have you thought about whether the new features are worth the upgrade from your current console? For me, it’s always about the games, and if there aren’t enough must-play titles, I’d skip it. Still torn between saving money or splurging on the latest tech though!
Absolutely, weighing the new features against the cost is key! For me, exclusive games like the new Pokémon titles can be a big deciding factor, but I totally understand your point about must-play titles. If the lineup doesn’t excite you, saving might be the smarter move. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—these conversations really help clarify things!
I totally get why you’re going for the NS2, especially with Pokémon being a must-play for you. I also agree that buying a console just for bragging rights isn’t worth it, but when the games speak to you, it makes perfect sense to invest. The censorship debate is wild too—good to know what to look out for when shopping around.
Absolutely agree! It’s all about finding the right fit for your interests. Censorship can definitely be a tricky topic, so doing your research is key. I think it’s awesome when a console resonates with you on that level. Thanks for the thoughtful comment—it’s always great to hear other perspectives!
I totally get why you’re going for the NS2, especially with Pokémon being a must-play. Your approach of only buying if there are standout games makes sense—gaming should be about the experience, not just owning the hardware. I wonder how the censorship issue will play out though; it sounds like a big factor for those who care about content完整性.
Absolutely, the censorship issue is definitely a consideration for many gamers. It can be a dealbreaker if you prioritize having access to all content, but for others, it might not be as impactful depending on their preferences. Either way, being aware of these factors helps make a more informed decision. Thanks for bringing that up—it’s an important conversation!
I totally get why you’re sold on the NS2 for Pokémon—can’t blame you there! But I do agree that buying a console just for bragging rights is a waste of money. For me, it’s all about the games and whether they align with what I love to play. Censorship issues aside, the decision really comes down to personal priorities.
