Welcome to the official game cartridge thread!
The objective of this thread is to have an area to collect the following information:

-What games do they use or have had a stock run with 32GB cartridges?
-What games need or indicate needing a download, and if so, see if it is playable, what part is included and what comes in the downloads (along with their size)
-Any news on the rumored new higher capacity Switch 2 cartridges
-Any curiosity or design of a cartridge that you think is pretty, including retro cartridges.

All this is to have a thread where it is easy to find information for famiboards users.

Everyone is invited to collaborate by providing information.

Oh wow didn't know Bayonetta 3 used a 32GB cartridge for a reprint. Maybe I should track a copy down.

Also FF X / X-2 HD Asia also uses 32GB AFAIK. Not just Japan.
