Nintendo has shared the first wave of Switch 2 file sizes, revealing how big Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and more are. Over on the official Japanese store, multiple games are listed.

All of those are under the 32gb max SW1 card size, so of course they will be on card. Bigger games that exceed are more likely to be key cards games with a few exceptions. DF said in a video that CP2077 may be on a 64gb card which is interesting because SF6 is a key card game and only amounts to 50gb.

There's some weirdness where I think it was Kirby despite being expanded on has gone down in size

It still costs 350$ in japan, and its region locked, they’re adding 150$ to the US version because fuck you.

It’s not really that. JP is the strongest market for Nintendo, they can’t afford to lose it, and a Switch 2 lite will help cover the slow start for US sales for the kids and Pokémon audience when a new main series launches in 2 years or so.

[ABizzel1]

Not saying it’s right, or that they couldn’t come to a better middle ground globally (excluding the US). But they made a blanket huge price increase on every non region locked version.

Donkey Kong Bananza – 10GB???

How?? It’s the coolest game in my opinion so far. I’m all for destructible environments.

9$ per GB

Nintendo have some sort of compression wizardry apparently the fact that most switch games are under 30gb is amazing with many only around 10

[Tapani]

Donkey Kong Bananza is actually double the size of the Mario Odyssey, so you can expect a large and comprehensive game.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

All of these games are actually surprisingly small in size, especially when we're talking next gen graphics for Nintendo. Because as you know, better graphics mean higher resolution, bigger textures, etc...

damn, what the lack of voice acting does for gamesize ha.

surprised that the DK game is 10 gigs only
