I have one question regarding the Nintendo Switch SD card and physical game. Do physical games take up a lot of space on the SD card? In other words, games you buy at the store as Power. Just downloaded games on my old Nintendo Switch that I had before I sold them and they took up some space. So fast that there was less space on the Switch.

a physical game does not take up anymore space on the nand or the sd besides additional updates and/or dlc, the game stays on the cartridge.
that of course if you don't install it from the cart to the nand or the sd and remove the cart

    I'm so pumped, NCAA football video game is back after a 10 year hiatus, coming to SeriesS/X, PS5 in July.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
