Nintendo Switch games will have even greater memory that will reduce downloads, lower costs and standardize 32 GB cartridges.
Currently, the memory chips brought by the Nintendo Switch cartridges total up to 32 GB, something that could change very soon. As reported from Nintendo Soup, the company that is responsible for making the cartridges, Macronix, has begun to work on a 64 GB NAND 3D memory chip that will arrive in mid-2020 and already has a buyer. Do you guess who? Exactly, Nintendo. The company could increase the space limit of developers to 64 GB, which in spite of it have achieved feats such as running The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and all its expansions on the platform.
Among the practical applications of this movement would be a significant reduction of all games in physical format that, even bringing a cartridge, require us to perform an additional digital download to enjoy them. Cases such as Bayonetta, NBA 2K and Capcom titles. It would also allow to make "bigger games" for the console and, although it remains to be seen how many take advantage of it, what would surely lead to the standardization of 32 GB memories, which would decrease in price and begin to be used by more developers . From there to below it is to be assumed that the rest would follow in their footsteps and that taking out the games in physical format would become more affordable for indie studios, which only smaller cartridges would need. In other words, it is a sensitive change that has very beneficial consequences for the Nintendo Switch ecosystem.
