Nintendo likes big files and it cannot lie
Nintendo has announced the file sizes for its Nintendo Switch software lineup and they make it clear that fans of digital downloading are going to have to expand their console’s memory.
Just how big are these files? Well, Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2 is a 32GB download which is the exact amount of internal memory the Nintendo Switch has.
Considering some of this will already be taken up by the console’s operating system and its pre-installed software, there’s no way you’d be able to digitally download the game without the addition of a microSD card.
Dragon Quest Heroes fans in the UK and US won’t find this an overly pressing issue as although the game is a confirmed launch title in Japan, its released date hasn’t been confirmed anywhere else.
Of course, this won’t be much of a problem if you’d rather purchase physical copies of all your games but this is an approach to game buying that’s increasingly not for everyone.
