maybe review for the game? since by the Gleeok clip on the north american comercial, Tears of the Kingdom seen to a much longer campaing then Breath of the Wild, observe that when Link is figting this Gleeok he have 17 hearts in the first row,
Why is tears on 32GB cart
i not sure why Nintendo decided to put Tears of the Kingdom in a 32GB, maybe is because the game will feature the Hyrule of Breath of the Wild expanded, the sky above and the undeground+ the Dungeons, this must been a decising factor why Tears of the Kingdom use a 32GB cart, just the sky for the previews seens quite expansive
There might be a day one patch containing a round of optimizations and bug fixes, but the product on the card will be a fully functional/ playable version of the game.
What if they do that? Genuinely asking, what are you suggesting?
As to why there's such a focus on CoD running on the current Switch, when MS's agreement seems to just refer to Nintendo hardware in general, it's because Microsoft claimed that the agreements they signed, such as the Nintendo one, will extend the market of CoD games to an additional 150 million players. Over 80% of this (120+ million) is from counting the Switch install base, so if Microsoft don't plan on releasing any CoD games for the current Switch, they can't realistically claim to be expanding the market by 150 million.
Unless the thing that's mainly been holding back nintendo from announcing their new hardware has been a lack of software that's ready.
Anything is possible if you are pessimistic enough.
maybe if they had a reel where they highlight games that are getting a drake mode, TotK would be there. but I think by the time Drake launches, they'll be highlighting something else, like 3D Mario or NLG Star Fox Effect
I don’t know how many outside the super hardcore would wait though even with performance issues look how well BOTW did. It’s been so long since new Zelda the word is overwhelmingly positive and we have no solid idea on how long away an update would be I don’t know how much of a sales bump a better version on an entire other console would provide.
Makes sense. I do hope this signals 32GB could be had at volume at lower prices than before or placing such a large order pushes down the unit costs for everyone (kinda like OOT being a trail blazer for more 32MB carts) because so many Switch releases could still benefit from having a 32GB cart. And it should be the standard for Switch 2 3rd party physical
Yeah the people who've been saying they'll wait for a switch 2 version are drastically out numbered by people who just don't give af and will be playing on switch 1
They are investing 300 billion yen in Nintendo Accounts and infrastructure. I'd imagine at least some of that will be used to improve the online experience.
Realistically it's 99.2% to .8% who say they're waiting for the switch 2 version of TOTK
That 4.6(b)(...) is super spicy.

It was listed as 18.2 GB before iirc, so people speculated that the $70 price was due to the usage of a 32GB card. But they revised it down and are probably using a 16GB card, as you pointed.The Legend of Zelda™: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site

According to the website, TOTK is 16GB, for me this imply they are using a 16GB cart.
From henceforth I shall refer to the successor as the Nintendo Snip.
I dont think the sizes are a reflection of the card size. The 16GB card doesn't actually hold 16GB, but less than that. If TotK is 16GB, then they need a 32GB card
Oh, that's true. I thought Nintendo meant 16GB as slightly less than that. Just to round up the number. But if it's 16GB, then it does need a bigger 32GB card.
As ReddDreadtheLead and I have mentioned, the price difference is probably going to by off set by Nintendo and Nvidia having to fabricate more wafers with Samsung vs if Nintendo and Nvidia worked with TSMC since Samsung generally has worse yields than TSMC.
16GB carts can only hold about 14 GB of data since the card has to have space for the file structure.The Legend of Zelda™: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site

This is all a huge marketing ploy for the announcement of Snipperclips 2 as a launch title
for some reason EA put out Apex Legends on switch. still don't know why. they should have just waited until Drake. so Warzone 2 wouldn't be alone
so looking at Switch card teardowns, the cart form farctor is large enough to accomodate a much larger chip , so the top half of the cart is jus t a plastic backstop.maybe Nintendo can move to a different format for higher memory sizes
I believe March 2021
Snipperclips 2 launch title confirmed.
I doubt it will use a 32GB cart. Fire Emblem Engage is even listet as 16.6 GB and is also just on a 16GB Cart. I am also quite sure a 16GB cart can also hold around 15,200 MiB.
Sorry but 16GB are 14,9 GiB
Where did you hear that FEE is on a 16GB cart?
I am also curious about this!

it was a matter of time before the production of cartridges became cheaper.
As far as I know, the cartridge versions cannot be compressed in size. They are the same size (speaking about the games) as the download versions.
Data is data. If it can be compressed to that with no difference, so would the download version. If there was some actual difference (lossy compression somewhere), they'd have to maintain two versions going forward.
I’m gonna be honest with you, my good friend, but we need to know how much the current cart costs at varying sizes, extrapolate from other flash storage and normal trends and try to apply a similar method using the power of assumption and also weigh the cost of the technology at a mass scale in order to do that.
