Yes, but that's another thing. Do they even bother with optimization? Doom on Switch is barely 14 gb, do the other versions need that much space to make it work? And that one is not even the biggest offender by far, games that need more than 100gb are criminal, what happened to optimization? How long is it going to take until we get the first 1tb videogame?

Also, this makes physical games an even better prospect, you'd think game companies would want to make digital as appealing as possible, but with sizes like those, it's the opposite.

 But if this is like most flash memories... those "32gb" would actually be like 29-30.

Hang on so let me get this straight.

They selling a 32gb cart that is empty (well maybe title screen) and it requires you to download a 32gb games that would fit the cart?

I don't get it either. Curiuos to know what's up with this one.

I have made it a hard rule for myself, that I won't buy any game that requires a download to finish the game.

I have 25 Nintendo Switch
games installed, patched, save files, etc. right now and that has only used about 12.3 GBs (only 1 of them is an e-shop game).

I don't even own a micro SD card at this point.

Each year the Nintendo Switch Game Cards are going to get bigger and cheaper for publishers, so that should help things as well.

The real deterrent for me is that my Nintendo Switch does not like my Wifi at all, so I only go online with it once every 2 or 3 months for patches and updates (IMO, even 10 minutes is quite a while to dedicate to downloading patches). I have to set my Nintendo Switch in the corner on some boxes, and it usually takes 7 to 10 tries to connect to Wifi for some unknown reason. (it stays connected pretty well once it does as long as I don't move it outside of that small 2 foot wide area)

That said, I have really enjoyed the Nintendo Switch as an offline device. Kind of reminds me of the good old GameCube days.

Good Times.

:)

That rumores128 gb switch can't come soon enough.

I don't get how a game can have a 5gb save file.

What is all being saved. And in that sense, how long does it take to save. We talking like 30 seconds of waiting while it saves.

High res textures and audio files. These take the majority of space in most games.

Don't at me if I'm wrong.

You dont need 128GB Switch model, just buy 128GB Micro SD card, you can buy it for around $20, that's definitely much cheaper price difference than for rumored 128GB Switch would be.

Isn't the rumored price for the 128gb switch still $300? That would mean it would save the consumers the extra cost. Yes I know 20 dollars is miniscule, but it's still a extra cost. Someone can buy Golf Story or Hollow Knight instead for that money.
