Ahh ok. But how hard would this make it to port 3rd party games since its not blu ray. I Hope Nintendo does not make the same mistake this gen and last gen with third parties.

It'd be easier in fact as the game data is stored on the HDD or the interal memory to be read when played, the actual format is literally just to hold data that will be stored internally. Solid state like formats are also read much faster then opticals like discs.

Yes but how much can such an SD card store. And yes i know its HDD which you download games, but the problem is that only 40% of the world has internet and some peopel have poor internet. TBH i think this is too soon for Nintendo.
