Overview
- ININ Games told fans Nintendo announced two new smaller Switch 2 cartridge sizes this week, though Nintendo has not publicly confirmed the change.
- R‑Type Dimensions III will now ship on a full cartridge in Europe and the US, with retail and special edition prices rising by €10 while early special‑edition preorders keep the original price.
- Industry reporting points to 16GB and 32GB options being prepared, offering an alternative to the previously common 64GB card that many publishers avoided due to cost.
- Insider Nintendeal says smaller‑capacity cards are in production but broad availability will take time because of chip shortages and rising material costs.
- Multiple outlets note the new lower‑capacity cards are expected to use slower memory, likely suiting smaller titles and not resolving performance reasons some developers chose Game‑Key Cards.
