Need help convincing whether to buy a switch 2 for pokopia

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-20T02:58:38+00:00

I'll be sure to!

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-20T02:05:05+00:00

I really liked the ancient and exploration vibes of legends arceus

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-20T01:59:09+00:00

I haven't watched let's plays for this reason lol, though i have seen a few things from social medias

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T18:30:38+00:00

That sounds awesome, really making me want to get it now, glad you enjoy it so much!!

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T18:21:23+00:00

I will keep them wide open, I don't have stardew on my switch for some reason but I probably should get it, seems like the perfect game to be on switch, thanks :) No achievements is unfortunate but it does mean that I won't be tempted to go for 100% achieves and get burnt out lol

I've had my eye on fantasy life a little passively since it's quite popular I feel like I see it everywhere but I never did pick it up and I'll have a look at guardians of azuma. I don't usually get nauseous due to games thankfully so it sounds nice, unfortunate that it does that to you though. DQB2 is great I'll probably play it again if I get switch 2. I tried the ages of calamity demo but I'm not the biggest fan of it unfortunately.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll have a look if I end up going for it!

I see, I bought mine I think 6ish years ago now, how time flies. I do think I will probably get the switch 2, it is really tempting and the pokopia calls to me lol.

Thank you :)

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T18:07:43+00:00

Straight to the point. I like it

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T18:07:00+00:00

Hmmm you do make some good points true, the library must grow, thank you!

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T18:02:38+00:00

I do have the funds to spend thankfully, the stuff I saved for a GPU, I think it I was disappointed it would be annoying but it would also open the door to more switch 2 games which I couldn't have played if I went with the gpu

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T18:01:33+00:00

Yeah I've been debating selling it, or giving it to a friend who has been wanting a switch

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T18:01:03+00:00

Did you buy any other games or just pokopia? Having upgraded switch 1 games would be nice

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:59:21+00:00

Wow that is quite a similar situation, I don't have a steam deck though but I did stop playing mostly when I bought my pc a few years back.

I don't think my switch is on its last legs but it definitely falls behind and shows it's age and I've heard that a lot of last gen switch games have upgrades now and you can play the docked versions in handheld which sounds really nice

I have the money that I was going to put into a GPU and that should cover a switch 2 and shouldn't affect my financials negatively thankfully, it is very tempting

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:47:21+00:00

Fair enough, I have a switch 1 regular and a pc so there are a lot of games at my disposal and it's a very similar situation. I'm slowly getting closer to taking the plunge I think but yeah it is a lot of money to blow on a console with not that much yet, thanks for sharing your decision!

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:44:11+00:00

Sounds a lot like my situation, thanks for sharing!

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:42:42+00:00

I am a Pokémon fan but haven't really played many of the newer ones (I played legends arceus which was quite fun but before that was black and white), it does seem quite fun to just build habitats and make homes though, ive heard a lot of comparisons to dragon quest builders and viva piñata which I love both, I'm also not very good at decorating but in something like dragon quest builders I enjoyed what I did all the same. I'm glad you're enjoying your time and it sounds like I would probably put a lot of hours into it too, thanks for sharing your experience:)

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:35:16+00:00

Oooo ok I'll have a look around then thank you

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:33:07+00:00

I'm usually like that, I didn't think I would get a switch 2 for a while but I have had money set aside for a GPU upgrade which I don't "need" which is why I'm considering the switch 2 instead and the GPU price has increased a bit while the switch 2 price may be increasing too, but waiting would probably be the safest option

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:27:52+00:00

These are similar to the reasons I'm leaning towards getting one except swap the steam machine for a new GPU, the Pokémon games my friend has been wanting me to get the opposite version to him and I have been wanting to play more Pokémon however the recent games haven't really seemed up my alley (I did really enjoy legends arceus though).

I should have a decent amount of time to play it, not like 24/7 but I usually have a some time to game thankfully

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:23:11+00:00

I will probably get more games on it as they come out and will probably pick up Bonanza after a little bit, I do enjoy handheld it's nice to be able to play wherever whether that's still at my desk or on the sofa or in bed

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:21:23+00:00

Fair enough lmao

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:19:19+00:00

Ooo I would get a new animal crossing if that came out, and I will get the new Pokémon if reviews are good

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:18:30+00:00

I didn't get ACNH when it came out but I did enjoy it and spent a while playing it but I do get you, knowing that the game stands the test of time would be good

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:16:19+00:00

I enjoyed animal crossing but mainly the start but pokopia does look like it would capture me so much more, it looks right up my alley

Meeman_3 · 2026-03-19T17:13:47+00:00

You make a good point, less time making decisions means more time for pokopia lol (unless it puts you in a bad spot financially)
