*** The Official Nintendo Switch 2 ***

It seems like Switch 2 game cards are 64GB so I guess that is the amount of storage needed (excluding other DLC and patches). With Game Key cards that internal storage is going to go fast.
 
64GB will be a maximum card size, most games I would expect to be significantly smaller.

If these sort of install sizes are true, I don't think people really need to worry about extra storage immediately unless they're going to be trying to play pretty much every game available at release.

  • Mario Kart World - 23.4 GB
  • Donkey Kong Bananza - 10 GB
  • GameCube Nintendo Classics - 3.5 GB
  • Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition ＋ Jamboree TV - 7.7 GB
  • Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition ＋ Star Crossed World - 5.7 GB

I think 64gb is the only size, some developer got hacked and from the data leaked they only had access to a 64gb card and a game card.

I wonder if it's counter productive to produce smaller cards right now

One of the video's I watched a while back (from Digital Foundry I think), suggested there are plans to manufacture smaller cards but at the moment they (whoever manufactures them) doesn't have the capacity to make them so the focus was on making only 64GB cards for now (well and the Keycode card).

Amazon has switch 2 Mario kart bundle available for pre-order.

Just managed to get mine in. It’s showing delivery on Saturday 7th which is a little disappointing but I’m hoping that changes nearer the time!

Shows as the 6th for me

Yeah for once availability seems really good.

When you say the 6th is that an open order or just what it shows in the pre-order page?

Maybe it’s location dependant, I’m in the midlands.

Is the actual release date the 5th? If so and Amazon haven’t delivered I’ll try my luck at Argos on launch day and cancel Amazon.

I'm not actually getting one, but still hyped for the release. No doubt I'll jump on later, but I have too many platforms I'm already playing on at the moment :D

Edit: went through to order one, still shows the 6th

I have loads of games from the Switch I need to finish but I want MK World and I want to play all these other old games on a much more capable console with a better screen. Mines the OG one from 2017.
 
Is there any easy way to see digital purchases without a Switch? Mine is currently setup for homebrew and I haven’t touched it for a while, I would like reminding what I have purchased digitally before going ahead and risking duplicates with physical!

Yeah you can, if you login on the eShop site https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Nintendo-eShop, in your account overview you can view all your virtual game cards.

The console is struggling to sell out. Wth Nintendo is doomed.

I know you're joking but selling out is simple a reflection of supply and demand. Supply is easily manipulated to not meet demand. The fact that Nintendo are still clearly releasing stock in places suggests they have a lot of units ready for launch. Will be interesting to find out just how well the launch sells. I expect its going to be a huge number.
 
It's funny that in the UK it seems we can all get one if we want, yet online, people in the US, in podcast, and people in Japan are struggling to get them.

Some have had their Best Buy order cancelled, people in Japan have had to enter into a lottery system to get it.

I swear I could have ordered 5 in the past 5 weeks had I wanted to by just checking on this thread alone.

Yeah it was tongue in cheek. Just glad they made enough consoles for us all this time around. Hope scalpers lose money.
