As usual, Nintendo's own titles have smaller install sizes by comparison
The article from Polygon discusses the potential storage concerns for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, highlighting that game install sizes are expected to be significantly larger than those on the original Switch. It mentions that games like "Tears of the Kingdom" and "Hogwarts Legacy" already require substantial storage, with sizes around 16GB and 8GB respectively, and anticipates that next-gen titles could demand even more space. The article suggests that the Switch 2 might need to come with increased internal storage or support for larger microSD cards, possibly up to 2TB, to accommodate these larger files. It also touches on the possibility of the Switch 2 using an NVMe SSD for faster load times, which could influence the overall storage solution. The piece concludes by emphasizing the importance of Nintendo addressing these storage issues to ensure a smooth gaming experience with the new console.
