Standard Nintendo Switch Game Cards Reportedly 16GB

4.6
While the Nintendo Switch has been officially unveiled, there is still quite a bit we don’t know about the upcoming console. Some talk about the future of the console has centered around whether or not it will eventually have VR.

While that’s perhaps quite a bit in the future, there is talk that has to do with the device in the now. Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki took to Twitter earlier this week to divulge that he had been told the standard size of the Nintendo Switch game card at launch is going to be 16 GB.

To further add credibility to this rumor, Nintendo insider Emily Rogers took to her own Twitter to explain she thought the 16 GB was standard but there was no preclusion to bigger cards in the very near future. She pointed to the Nintendo DS as proof this kind of thing is something Nintendo does often.

Hmm that's odd so nothing above 16gb will be released?

LostPosted:

Seems small but it is supposed to be mobile so I can't see the games being anything over the top.

SwiftPosted:

Yeah it launches with the 16GB but will support up to 128GB cards.

I can't wait for this to come out!

Eh, this is okay I guess but I'd rather have more because I'm greedy like that. :p

KyloCrux That is quite small. Hope to see larger once released.


Yeah kinda is. Ps4 disc can only hold 25gb


Remember this is Nintendo not ps4 lmao you guys expect so much out of a hand held hybrid console like damn


16Gb really is pretty small considering they are now allowing Third Party Devs to work on games for them. Such as..They showed off Skyrim in the trailer. Skyrim alone is already 10+Gb's of data.


You guys gotta remember that this does not mean nintendo cant use disc that contain another installation within the disc like most ps4 and xbox games. Bascially adding another 20gb

Seeing that it is a hybrid I suppose it is a decent size. But what about those that will most likely just be using it as a console?
