 There is an [[https://www.nintendo.com/jp/hardware/switch2/lineup/japan-only/index.html|official documentation page on this]]. Nintendo also cautions that if you do not link a Nintendo Account at all, you can't play multiplayer or do a whole bunch of stuff, so consider it a really bad idea to purchase this outside of Japan.

 ==== Speculation about hacks ====
-I strongly suspect that changing the region is going to be super trivial in software once hacks are available for the system. I also suspect that if you do this, you will totally end up banned by Nintendo's online services.

 I don't blame Nintendo in the slightest for this.
+===== CERO PSA =====
+In Japan, the rating body that governs domestic games for consoles is CERO. If you have never owned a Japanese domestic market game, this is worth noting. Games like The Last of Us: Part 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 have extensive changes between the CERO Z release and the applicable overseas counterparts. These changes typically involve censorship or removal of uncensored genitalia in-line with standard practice around obscenity and nudity in Japan. Additionally, gore and other grotesque elements are often toned down. Sexual elements and themes are reduced or modified.
+I mention this specifically because Cyberpunk 2077 is a launch title on Switch 2. If you do what I did, you will end up with the CERO Z version. Be aware of this.
