actually pretty big for a Mario Kart game. Wasn't MK8D in the single digits of gigs?

I would expect nothing less for a 1440p open world game of it's size.

 

[Banjo64]

Lovely. The 256gb should go a decent way.

 

[GrandlyBodacious]

Kirby with DLC added comes in at a smaller size than before?

Also seeing the MKW art, something about Donkey Kong's design looks better to me in MKW than it does in Bananza, but I can't quite tell what it is.

 

[blacktout]

Is Mario Kart World Nintendo's biggest first party game ever in terms of file size? This is like ~5GB larger than TotK, right?

 

[Sooner]

Lovely. The 256gb should go a decent way.

Until you buy a AAA third-party game that doesn't have Nintendo's compression wizards.

Some won't but I have hope.

glad there's other devices with more storage to play AAA third party games on.

It's just low-res assets, there is no any wizardry, anyone who worked with switch games's resources will tell you that.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

How large is ToTK?

 

[Woopah]

Will be interesting to see what other publishers do. But it looks like buying 1TB of extra storage will not be required to use Switch 2.

How large is ToTK?

18.2 GB I believe

 

[Dacvak]

Can't wait to spend an extra $400 on a 2TB microSD Express card

 

[SweetTooth]

All seems like low budget games, Its crazy they are asking for +$80 for them

NBA 2k - 60.57 Gb
Mario Odyssey - 5.7 Gb

I got one.
Cost me $200 and is slightly faster than the others.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Happy with this! Won't need a memory card straight away!

 

[Thief1987]

NBA 2k - 60.57 Gb
Mario Odyssey - 5.7 Gb

Have you actually seen these games? They are like 3 generations apart graphic wise.

 

[Woopah]

I'm not saying no one will get one, just that lots of Switch 2 users won't.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

I was just saying I got one.

 

[Kacho]

Nice. I was worried they'd be humongous.

 

[Mownoc]

256gb will actually be fine for first party unless you are someone that needs 20 games installed at once.

Third party is going to body slam storage. Get ready for that NBA 2K and CoD file sizes!
