Switch 2 Physical Media Still in Flux as ININ Retracts Claim of Smaller Cartridges

ININ says Nintendo has issued no confirmation on cartridge capacities, with R‑Type Dimensions III still planned as a cart release.

Overview

  • Most third‑party Switch 2 games use Game Key Cards, with reporting indicating developers currently have a single 64GB cartridge option.
  • An X account claimed 16GB and 32GB cards were coming; ININ echoed the claim, then deleted its posts and issued a correction.
  • ININ confirms R‑Type Dimensions III will arrive on a physical cartridge and says the price will rise by €10 to cover production.
  • Nintendo has not announced new cartridge sizes, and any potential smaller cards remain unconfirmed.
  • Industry coverage suggests smaller cards could expand physical releases for less storage‑heavy titles but may face limited supply and performance trade‑offs, with a leaker on Bluesky alleging delays and higher costs that have not been verified.
