I see a lot of NSW games being sold, so I was wondering if I should purchase the NSW version even if the NSW2 version is available.
Anyone out there who find themselves either replacing NSW version with NSW2 or decided to just buy NSW2 going forward?

The decision table I am thinking is as follows.
I realize there is some subjectivity in the categories, but I'm not looking at large gaps between version.
I also did not include price because I feel that's even more subjective than graphics, content, and performance.
I am also aware some there is a boost in performance and graphics just due to better hardware in the NSW2, but seems like only in certain cases.

I always grab the Sw2 version when available. Usually the price is similar and the performance upgrades are worth it.

Plus game saves don't always carry over (Square is bad for that), so I'd rather get the upgraded version than face buyers remorse if I want to upgrade later.
