The size of the Nintendo Switch 2 first game revealed: unexpectedly small!

The 256GB built-in storage space of the Nintendo Switch 2 may meet the needs better than you think. Still, the Switch 2 also supports microSD Express card extended storage, with prices ranging from $60 to $150, depending on storage capacity. Amid the various controversies arising from the launch of the Switch 2, especially when it comes to the high price of the game, many players may not need to purchase additional storage space.

According to information released by the My Nintendo store in Japan (in Japanese), the Switch 2 first-party game file size is much smaller than many people initially expected (reported by VGC). Among them, Mario Kart World is the largest game, with 23.4GB, accounting for only about 10% of the total storage space . Donkey Kong Carnival is 10GB, some other games are even smaller, and Super Mario Party Carnival: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is only 7.7GB. Nintendo Classic Games: GameCube app is 3.5GB, but the size will increase as more games are added.

The first-party game is currently relatively small

But why? How long can it last?

The file size of the first-party game on Switch 2 is relatively small, which may be attributed to several factors. One reason is that for a long time, Nintendo's first-party games have mostly been smaller and have lower budget games. Another reason may be that the Switch 2 supports Nvidia's DLSS technology (according to Nvidia's own), which uses artificial intelligence to upgrade games to higher resolutions without affecting gaming performance .

Nintendo Switch 2 may solve one of the biggest problems with Switch 1

At a developer roundtable, Nintendo said it might be aimed at solving one of the biggest problems with the Switch 1, but the information is vague.

It's unclear how much of most third-party Switch 2 starters ends up, but they'll definitely be bigger overall. Cyberpunk 2077 is reported to be 64GB, for example. This may be a good indicator of the size of other third-party games, as most third-party games that have been confirmed to be logged into Switch 2 are already large games on other consoles and PC platforms .

Nintendo Switch 2 First-Party Games Take Up A Surprising Amount Of Storage

The announcement of the Switch 2 and its price, as well as the controversial game price (such as Mario Kart World for $80), has triggered a rebound for many players. There was even a digital protest during Nintendo Treehouse live, so it might be good news for consumers who are worried about hidden costs that may not have to buy extra storage space for Switch 2's chaos .

How support for third-party games affects consumers’ demand for more storage remains to be seen, but with the current situation where positive news about the Nintendo Switch 2 is rare, the smaller size of first-party games is definitely a boon for most players.
