MEGA.

TON.

That might be the case but there is no reason to have a 6GB patch. If most of that file size is "high res" textures that are not required to play the game, make that a separate pack.

To me its an excuse to get a smaller cart. That is fine that is their business choice. I just won't buy it as I chose not to accept such BS.

Again, we don't know that just yet. We don't even know what size card they are using.

I’m not familiar with Switch gamer problems...but why would you pass on a great game for something that is so seemingly trivial? Memory space issues? Can’t say I can relate to this but it certainly shouldn’t be a deal breaker

It was an OCD/anxiety thing too. Anyway, now that I have over 200GB of free space to spare, 6GB is nothing, and storage isn't something I worry about any more.

I think I will do a comparison of both before and after the patch.  Curious to see how much value the card alone will have without the patch.  I am hearing too many mixed things on the matter, with no specific official details outside of a day 1 patch exists that is up to 6 GB.

Usually day one patches and partial installs are two separate things however, and I expect this to be no different.  Curious to do the test myself and put this to rest.

Eh, I don't know about that. They're separate in theory, but in execution they basically mean the same thing. It's why PS4 games are starting to get to the point where developers literally have to tell fans to install the day one patch because often, for all intents and purposes, they make the game run properly. 

Maybe not true with this game, but even if it isn't, we're probably splitting hairs by acting like the day one patch isn't important at the very least. 

All this talk of patches and I'm just here looking forward to playing what looks like a really good game.

I like collecting physical games on Nintendo. Now I am expected to collect a 6gb patch that tbh sounds like it all could be avoided lol?

This is the reason I haven't bought any 2K games or CRAPCOM stuff as they cheapened out on the cart size. I rather pay an extra $10 for the game to get it full.

The thing is, waiting til the day 1 patch is done before sending the game off for physical manufacturing could mean another delay of a few months, or however long it takes from a game goes gold to the cards hitting shelves; we could be looking at for example an August release instead of June. 

Fuck dat shit, with all the uncertainty in life right now, want it ASAP. Can't count on even being here in August.
