The cartridges were shown in the preview video, we've known this for 2 and a half hours! Catch Up!

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

How large is Skyrim Remastered? We might get a glimpse of the capacity of the cards if we know this.



That cartridge actually looks like one of the old DS cartridges. Wouldn't it be great if the Switch could actually play DS-3DS games? The thing can play Skyrim, so why not old DS games?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Some people predicted a digital-only console.

On PC, 12gb

On console, 20 gb - 33gb

Well it'll probably be 50gb on ps4/xbo, but that doesn't mean the cards will support that. The NX version may have a smaller file size (32gb).

I think the cartridges will be either 32gb or 64gb, 32gb would be fine though!

Yea that would have never happened for this gen. I doubt it will even happen for the next gen. Maybe the gen after.

Yas! It was either going to be like that or something like the PSP.
