2017 was a big year for Nintendo's Switch, but a pretty big delay
might slow things way down.*
According to a
Wall Street Journal report Wednesday,
Nintendo has told outside developers that it is delaying 64-gig
game cartridges for the Switch until 2019.*
With its newest flagship console,
Nintendo decided to bring back
cartridges in place of disc-based games that ran on the previous three.
cartridges cost more to produce, but they are far more portable and decrease loading times.*
Currently, the
game cartridges, which outside developers get from Nintendo, are capped at 32 gigs. That's lower than the 50-gig Blu-ray discs that run on the other current consoles: Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Not only that, but many games require significant patches on release, putting their total size much higher.*
