Reports in the last few years claimed that Nintendo wanted to release the 64GB Game Card in 2018, but couldn’t do so due to technical issues.
A report from the Taipei Times states that flash memory maker Macronix is rolling out its in-house 3D NAND in the second half of 2020, and their first customer is Nintendo.
The 3D NAND could potentially be used for the 64GB Game Cards which Nintendo wanted to release in 2018 but failed to do so. Macronix also supplies Nintendo flash memory chips for their existing Game Cards, so it’s unlikely 3D NAND would be used for the memory configurations already released.
Even bigger games?
The first thing that comes to mind is of course bigger games. But that does not have to be the case. In itself a lot of games that do not release, do not release because of size limitations. That comes down to compression of textures or of course sheer size.
What HUGE titles do you want to see come to the Nintendo Switch if 64GB carts are becoming a thing?
