Not even a lot of Switch games use the 32GB cartridge that’s already been available. I doubt you’ll see an influx of games start using the 64GB cartridge

addictedtochaos2348d ago

Exactly this. Publishers who already don’t use the 32GB carts won’t make the jump to the 64GB ones and will continue to make users download part of the game.

The Switch carts are getting cheaper and cheaper as the years go buy (for publishers to use that is), so hopefully we see more publishers use them. I'd like a KH collection on Switch and I know that a big reason why it isn't on there is the storage.

Segata2348d ago

2017 most devs used 8GB carts, few used 16gb carts. Now most games use 16gb carts and few use 32GB carts. Next year more devs might use 32GB carts and few use 64GB carts. Prices get cheaper.

You forget that there was a switch pro rumoured for the original release, and then it came up again last year, however, it was slated 2020. Maybe it’s for that reason they will be upgrading...maybe

Can we get a rerelease of Final Fantasy 10 & 10-2 collection on one cartridge in america please. Also Bayonetta 1&2 collection

Gemmol2348d ago

Get it digital got it all on one memory card

Shiken2348d ago

You can order FFX and X2 from playasia, and both games will be on the card. English language and no region lock, I can confirm this myself as I have my copy already.

godashram2348d ago

Current publishers don't even use 16-32GB cards when they easily could (looks at Capcom).
Sure, 64GB would be nice, and with the drop in storage prices as of late can only help, 1 can hope publishers start tacking advantage to the larger cards sooner rather than later.

Tross2348d ago

That would be nice. I can see 64GB cards being almost, if not entirely exclusively a thing Nintendo themselves use if they do roll them out, for the reason you established. At least it will make for even better first party titles if it does end up being a thing.

Gemmol2348d ago

Wrong like someone wrote above in the beginning most use 8 gig then move to 16 gig now some are using the 32 gig

Just like the 400 gig micro sd card was $250.00 2 years ago and now it’s 40 to 50 dollars

Prices drop

Neonridr2347d ago

Capcom.. pfft. They are the worst. I got both of the Mega Man Collections and had to download one part to my system. Are you telling me they couldn't fit a bunch of 16-bit games on one cartridge. Definitely cheapskates.

MetroidFREAK212348d ago

Hope so. While I don't mind partial downloads, I would rather have the full game on the cart

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle32d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
