I would enjoy that. Shouldn't be too hard or expensive to put 32gigs on the size of a 3DS cartridge.                                     

I dont know it should be quite more expensive than people think



Why i left PC gaming

What's crazy is major third party developers don't have dev kits yet. No third party support for NX confirmed. But that is fine if the NX is priced right. An inexpensive Nintendo console to sit besides my shiny new PS4 NEO is fine by me.

And how would you know that?

Also, Ubisoft has a game announced for the NX. So there is some support, albeit small as of what we know. Also Tecmo Koei has stated they will develop for the NX. So theres that at least.

Yes, it looks like the NX will get the standard third-party support Nintendo consoles usually get like Skylanders, Just Dance, ect. As long as the NX isn't expensive, that's fine. I'm really hoping the Luigi's Mansion HD rumors are true. 



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

They could have it how do you know? Didn't Squeenix say dragon quest XI will be on the NX



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

If it DOES have carts, I think that's a sure sign the next home and portable consoles will have cross platform games, which I would love. Either cross platform or some kind of hybrid is what I want



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

There are a lot of developers on the internet saying they have no idea what the NX is. That means they don't have dev kits. And this is the achilles heel that always screws Nintendo. Their paranoia. The first Nintendo console that had an optical disc drive was the Game Cube. Nintendo was so paranoid people would steal their games, they used the proprietary mini disc. In the end larger games would not fit on one disc, forcing devs to make two discs for one game.

Nintendo is so paranoid now that someone will steal the NX's gimmick, they are being stingy with dev kits.

I would love to see some sources b'cause all I've heard about that was some indie developpers whinning about not getting a nx dev kit :P

Sources coming, give me a minute.

Would be funny if we returned back to carts. I wouldn't mind it though.

Carts? Wouldn't that be a bit backwards?

So it seems like Activision(Skylanders) and other indie developpers didn't touch NX's dev kit yet ... I'm not really surprised that some western compagnies won't be able to touch these until a long time. The NX seems to be merely focused with 3rd party from Japan as of now. 

Not surprised either.  After the Wii U, Nintendo looks like they're essentially circling the wagons for the 1st year of the NX's life by looking to themselves and select 3rd parties that they know will have their back.  They can't screw up and they probably don't want to depend on developers that let them down last gen.
