    I’m honestly asking myself how these re-releases will sell and how this will work long term on the Switch 2.

    For the release day we already have Elden Ring (60GB on Steam) and Cyberpunk+Add on (100+GB). Now this FF (100GB) - that’s more than the internal storage of the Switch 2. Unless the developers will be able to shed a ton of space, this is not sustainable.

    And since, for some reason, Nintendo’s Semi-proprietary SD-cards only come in 256GB, this will not be a solution either. How many SD-cards will you have to buy over the years?

      I don’t think that’s how people buy games. Even on PS5, I can’t install 6-7 AAA games at once (well, depends on the game, some are pretty small) and regularly run out of space.

      And that’s the good thing about Nintendo’s cartridge, you can run directly from there, and don’t have to copy the data to console. Though that will only be true for games that have any data on the cartridge and not just the download code.

      They come larger than 256, but obviously pricey:

      The Lexar microSD Express card is priced at $199.99 for the 1TB version, $99.99 for the 512GB model, and $49.99 for the 256GB variant.

      I think, since a lot japanese people own a switch, but not pc or playstation console. Such people would be the target audience of that. Not everyone has multiple consoles or systems, some only one from nintendo.

      I guess you have the game sizes from steam, playstation’s game versions are smaller. I would imagine the nintendo version is even smaller. Cyberpunkt is inside a 64GB Cardrige, so for sure smaller than 100GB. And the SD-card are noch proprietary, they just the fastest one currently on the market that got support, every express sd card should work. They will be cheaper and bigger with time as well.
