Nintendo Players Need To Buy Memory Cards As Console Requires More Memory Space For Downloadable Games

The Nintendo Switch is due for release on Mar 3, 2017 and will come with an internal storage of 32 GB. An additional memory card may be needed for some buyers as some games will require more memory to be installed on the system.

Nintendo has released the required memory space for some games on the Nintendo Switch. The largest of which is Dragon Heroes 1-2 which has a size of 32 GB. Given its size, the game can't be stored on the Nintendo Switch if the game is downloaded digitally. Gamers will have to purchase a separate memory card to expand the console's internal memory of purchase a physical copy of the game in order to play it.

Meanwhile, other games for the Nintendo Switch need far less memory required in order to be installed. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild comes in at 13.4 GB and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will require 7 GB of memory.

Other less demanding games for the Nintendo Switch like Disgaea 5 need 5.92 GB and Nobunaga's Ambition need 5 GB of storage. Smaller games like Snipperclips: Cut it Out, Together! will need 1.60 GB, I Am Setsuna will require 1.40 GB and Puyo Puyo Tetris needs 1.09 GB of internal memory.

Nintendo Switch games from physical copies do not require an install so these memory requirements only apply to digital purchases as reported by IGN. But with games like Dragon Heroes 1-2, buyers may need to consider purchasing an additional memory card to expand the console's limited internal memory.

Buying an additional memory card is more applicable for gamers that will primarily download their games instead of buying the physical copies. It is also necessary for gamers who plan to play a lot of indie and virtual console games as they are mostly available through downloads.
