I just can't imagine an Assassin's Creed Unity situation on the Switch, where almost half of the game was replaced by a day one patch, which is of course one of the more ridiculous examples, but I'm sure you get the point. Games like Fifa, NBA, WWE and whatever other sports games will come to the Switch (I suspect an American Football game to be in the works also) are highly popular, and once again: are only playable in portable mode on a Switch, so that is something not to be so easily dismissed, regardless of whether or not you can play a prettier looking version on the Xbox or Playstation (or PC). Also, I knwo those games are alrady out, if they weren't Iwouldn't knwo the size of the day 1 patches, but my point is almost every game these days has a day 1 patch. Nintnedo doesn't have to do it, but they are going to have to allow it if they want games on PS4 and XboxOne, it's not like the practice is going to stop. If anything I'd say it is measurably getting worse. Look what Nintendo did w/ Splatoon, dripfed content for months, all of it free and part of the main game, not DLC. BTW, I've been reading your posts waaaaaay too long as a lurker here. Twice today I actually typed "Nitneod""

The average size for a first party Nintendo title is around 6.7GB. Are official Nintendo Switch SD cards worth it? We'd recommend a 128GB SD card for most users; this will give you enough room for about 15-18 Nintendo Switch games on your console, but it's worth noting that smaller indie titles will take up far less space. If you're going to be playing mostly with physical games, and you don't envision yourself buying too many larger titles from the eShop, you should be able to get by on 64GB. However, if you're going all-digital, a 256GB card will see you through around 35 full sized games. How big are Nintendo Switch games?

everything is beta" Yep, that about sums up modern gaming at least 3rd party gaming (increasingly nintendo too, but not quite there yet.) That fact is not in any way diminished or disturbed by current game sizes or zero-day patches/updates that developers are all too willing to ram down our throats nowadays. And if those games would be the problems, then they wouldn't be as welcomed as they are, and they are also selling quite nicely, so that's sorely missing what's really going on there. And of course it's also true that a certain amount of people would buy the Xbox or Playstation versions if they also had one of these consoles, but other people actually like being able to take that same game with them on the Switch, and they are willing to accept having that game in a lower fidelity to get that advantage.

I'd prefer to live in a world where games get released complete, but it doesn't work that way any more, all companies do is put out betas and make us pay for them while they work on fixes. The SanDisk microSDXC card for the Nintendo Switch game system is designed to provide dependable storage as you conquer new levels. And of course you also have to add an external hard drive to your other consoles at some point, but those prices don't even begin to compare, so Switch owners are definitely at a big disadvantage here. The Nintendo Switch can only run up to 2TB of additional storage in an SD card. However, it should be noted that that's a ton of space, so you'll certainly have to be an eShop pro to fill it to the brim. Which SD cards are compatible with Nintendo Switch? NinNin Good to have that perspective of you being a developer, makes your point of view a little bit clearer, but to elaborate on it: I don't mean that developers should be forbidden to do things or told what to do (we'll leave that to the bigger publishers like EA) but more like both parties investing time AND some money in a better compromise, meet each other halfway, so to speak.I think if the Switch only came w/ 4GB like the 3DS, then by all means turn it off, 2GB of that would probably be OS anyway, leaving you w/ 2GB, and you'd find yourself in a horrific PS Vita situation, but I think 32GB is enough that I wouldn't want it to go to waste if I had an old 32GB card from my phone laying around that I could use until prices dropped on larger models.
