Wait, so if I bought a Switch and LA Noire on cartridge, but have no internet or interest in getting it... I couldnt play it?

 

That kind of sucks if thats how it works

Probably won't even boot up.

Great discussion here, I read every comments and learned a little more about what takes up space in files and what doesn’t. VA and texture quality are both things Nintendo doesn’t use so it makes sense a little. However I still think Nintendo has one secret they won’t show anyone.

Wait Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentia, Kid Icarus Uprising and Star Fox Zero all had full VA... anyone care to look up the GB size on those games? I can’t look it up right now

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

14 GB for a 3DS game? Do they even make 16 GB cards for the 3DS? Anyway it is 1.57 GB



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Biggest pikmin fan on VGchartz I won from a voting poll
I am not a nerd. I am enthusiast.  EN-THU-SI-AST!
