Forums - Nintendo - Rumor-Nintendo Switch Game Cards Limited To 16GB Maximum Size

Yea I am gonna call nonsense on that.

The jump between DS to 3ds was massive for max storage

DS/DSi: 8-512 MB
3DS: 128 MB-8 GB

Doesn't make any sense if it isn't going to be similar. I say 64

"Standard" cart size does not equal "maximum" cart size. Poor reporting.



That would be very problematic if that is true, both Smash and Xenoblade were bigger than that on WiiU



standard - maximum- limited - are 3 different things, gosh I hate these clickbait rumors. Even when breath of the wild is the only game officially announced, a game big asf.



I guess bigger games cost more then?

Standard is not "maximum", as someone pointed out the tweet itself says standard and both DS and 3DS had a range of capacity for their game cartridges. Hopefully they clarify that in the article.



lol I highly doubt that.



There's a difference between "the normal size is for the most part going to be 16gb, but there will be bigger if needed" and "the biggest card will be 16gb". Misleading.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

This... hopefully isnt true.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is like 22.7 GB on the Wii U (I think?).
16 GB isnt enough...



Apparently NintendoLife is going click bait now... They quote a tweet that says standard and write an entire article of how it could be maximum.
