What is the best set up for a game like this on an Lgc2 oled? I have my zelda bundle arriving next next week. Oh and I opened my first switch game last week, but it had a tiny cartridge inside, is this game disc that the system reads off or does it use the internet to download the game on the drive. Because i'm thinking how on earth can a full game fit onto this tiny thing.

Some games have a day one patch that gets downloaded but most of it should be on the cartridge unless it's some collection by Capcom or Square Enix were only one part is on the cartridge or something like that. These cartridges mostly are 8GB or 16GB in some rare cases 32GB. TotK they compressed down to 15.9GB like a few weeks ago from 17GB probably to be able to use the cheaper 16GB cartridges and not need an extra download.

But I mean these cartridges are huge compared to microSD cards that can be up to 2TB. But those are much more expensive and fragile.

The biggest Switch games are 30 something GB. Discs are just to big for such a small device.

Which game did you get?

I got mario kart 8. I've never owned mario kart, but there is small sentimental value. When I was around 11, I was at the airport, and came a cross a duty free store, and they had a Nintendo 64 set up with mario kart 64, and it was the most amazing thing i'd ever seen. My cousin and I were on it for an hr.  I feel like this would be a fun game to do two player with my wife.

Also got metroid prime remastered. Never played the series. I will have to eventually buy a mario game aswell. Either odyssey first or the mario land /world remastered.
