Buggered if I know. One of the most confounding things about the system, that fully half of its RAM is taken up by an OS that doesn't seem to justify such a size at all. I sincerely hope Switch doesn't blow 1GB or more of its RAM on the OS.

I hope so.

Perhaps the Wii OS backwards compatibility with Miiverse may have done something to increase the size? Or perhaps just bad management?

either way, I'm hoping for the same thing. I won't care however if it the games aren't impacted(i.e increase the RAM or make games not need too much ram)

It will impact games; if the system has 4GB of RAM as rumoured, then the difference between the OS being 500MB or 1.5 GB of RAM will mean the difference between games having 2.5 or 3.5GB to run on. That will effect things like textures, porting, etc.
