Following the console reveal, today’s focus is on NS2 accessories. While the ¥3,400 price seems fair, the Japan-exclusive version’s perks are downright envy-inducing.
External Camera
The dual Type-C ports on the NS2’s top edge finally make sense. This camera enables:
-
Face-to-face video chats during multiplayer sessions.
-
Live-streaming gimmicks and avatar integration in games like Mario Party.
-
Four-player simultaneous capture with a single camera.
NS2 Pro Controller
Minor upgrades, but unclear if Rumble been improved
3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom.
Programmable back buttons.
Dedicated voice chat button (C)
NS2 Game Cartridges
-
Same size as the original NS carts, but red instead of black.
-
Red carts boast faster load speeds, per the Direct.
Storage Expansion
-
Bad news: Older SD cards (e.g., ¥100 256GB models) are incompatible.
-
Required: New 256GB EX Cards (¥700) for optimal performance.
-
Some physical carts will only contain a download key, hogging storage. [Image]
GameCube Controller
-
A nostalgia product for NS2’s new GameCube emulator (via subscription).
-
Adds a C button and Type-C port but retains the classic design.
Final Thoughts
Predictable accessory lineup, though GameCube fans will rejoice. The red cards’ aesthetics are questionable…
Meanwhile, FUNLAB has teased NS2-compatible gear—stay tuned!
