32 GB games are stupid expensive. No game uses it except for Dragon Heroes 1 & 2 and that game was $90 I believe. Also I believe Nintendo is already eating the costs of the cartridges. Honestly this problem was a thing on the 3DS back in 2011. Eventually the cartridges' price will go down and everyone will use 32GB cards. So we will have to deal with it for a year or so.

Below is a quote from another thread.

Ok guys, I read about how much the carts cost. from what 'industry insiders' have said on resetera about the price for devs to buy these carts from Nintendo

according one source 8GB cards are $8, and 32GB carts are about $16.

According to ZhugeEX 8GB cards are around $10, about the same price as PS4/XB1 discs. A 32GB cart is around $20.

To use a 16GB cart, sounds like your looking at like $2 or $3 more than a 8GB cart

So I can understand why there not using the 32 GB based on this, at the same time, there making more profit off the switch version :/

So a 32GB cart costs $10 more than a blu ray.

Fun Fact: LA Noire costs $10 more on teh switch than on PS4/One, yet is only using the 16gb cart. So they are making like $7-8 profit on charging more with the excuse of Carts cost more.
