One of the great news with which Nintendo presented to the Nintendo Switch 2 is that, added to its improvement in Graphic capabilities and of prosecutionthe console would be accompanied by a significant increase in its storage: We talk about 256 GBequivalent to 8 times the space that today has a Traditional switch.
Something that is not only necessary for how the technologybut obviously upon receiving games more demanding, the sizes of the textures And its content must also increase.
But while an increase of 8 times in size may sound a lot, in practice it seems that it will not be so much. This, because now the games pesos that are not from Nintendo and the fight for the space inside the console It will be hard.
Let us remember that Mario Kart Worldthe exit game of the console will weigh 23,4 GBthe biggest game in weight in the story of Nintendo, while other adventures such as Donkey Kong Bananza They will cost 10 GB of our console.
But that’s the magical formula that has Nintendo To work, because the rest of the games have much higher weights. Street Fighter 6for example, we will weigh some 50 GB According to your information page, and Cyberpunk 2077 some 59 GBwhich is why your game will come within the cartridge larger that can produce Nintendo, which is 64 GB.
But there are games that will exceed that barrier: Split Fiction will weigh 73 GB. This is how it is seen that the minimum for games AAA launched on the console will be 50 GBnot then count your additional content The titles as Fortnitethat constantly are updating and increasing the size of their discharge.
The solution would be to be able to buy cartridges Not to have to download, but as we know, many of the games, especially those that are from companies external to Nintendo or in cases where the game weighs more than 64 GBthe cartridge will only be one key to activate a download that will still have to be done in the console. So it only remains to acquire one memory expansion cardwhich we remember, has to be MicroSD Expresswhich are much faster but also more expensive, we talk about some 80 thousand pesos by 256 GB of space.
