Do you think game cartridges will make a comeback in video game consoles?

I always wondered if game cartridges will make a comeback in gaming. I know it cost developers way more money to make game cartridges than compact discs. However, with the way technology is today, maybe they can create a better developed cartridge that can run more power than CDs.

What do you think?

Bolded means this is a joke post?

Anyhoos, I think in the future it's possible for something that is not on a disc to become standard on a console again. It may not be cartridges per se, but may be something like flash memory or whatever is hot nowadays. If anyone would go that direction, it would be Nintendo.

My main gripe is that I don't want to save onto the cartridge. I want an effective saving method that will let me keep the save in the event I don't have the game any longer.

 

 

'Cause it'd be impossible for them to have memory cards, hard drives, or flash if there was a cartridge system?

And I don't see what's so funny about the concept of a cartridge that holds more than any of the disc media currently being used. Solid state technology is the future, and where I think things are going to go in the next gen or two.

 

 

 

I never said they couldn't do that. I said I would expect them to so it wouldn't piss me off. If you must know, the DS has no way to save outside of the cartridge and that is our most recent platform dealing in them. If you want the privilige of doing so, you need to buy a Flash cart for it like an R4 and play ROMs of the games.
