@Ralizah It's just amazing to me that I didn't even have to load up the game again; it was literally where I left off the minute I pressed power. The 3DS at least had to consume some power to keep a game running even if it was suspended. I wonder if the Switch shuts itself off so early and can consume power to keep a game suspended even for almost 24 hours.
@NaviAndMii I was actually resolved to get all of the moons I had lost at that point. I seriously wouldn't have minded retracking my progress in a game like this, its so fun.
First time I hear an ad in Spotify that has something to do with Nintendo. I've heard PlayStation ads many times but now I was greeted with the Switch click sound. I took my phone out of my pocket to see which game they're advertising, turns out it was just Farming Simulator.
Wowzers! It looks like some of Team17's Switch-bound games are getting a physical release! Sold Out, Team17's physical publisher, have announced the physical releases of Overcooked: Special Edition, Worms W.M.D. and Yoku's Island Express for the system, they should be on UK shelves from early next year.
Looks like LA Noire is the next Switch game to have a large download for physical owners announced, 14GB this time. Increasingly more evidence that if you want to delve into big 3rd parties on Switch, you must a large microSD card. If you're just getting 1st party games and indies then you don't need a microSD card at all.
And oh come on. Nintendo finally looks like they're getting 3rds on board and we have to deal with this crap. So the cost of the system is no longer $300 if you even think about getting 1 of these games. It's more like $350 to $400 almost mandatory. Yes I just got a 256gb card but still half of that will be used up with the games I want and we still dont know if Skyrim will do this or not.

@Grumblevolcano I thought the reason why Switch owners were paying more for 3rd party releases was because of the cartridge being more costly to produce?
If this game requires that size download, then they might as well release it as a digital only title.
@NintendoFanBoy16 Yeah, bigger cartridges are more expensive, so pay up, but wait, we can offer it as a mandatory download too! What did you say about cartridge costs again?
@Grumblevolcano Do we know that for sure yet? This LA Noire news comes out 2 weeks before release. Plus Nintendo gets their carts cheaper then 3rds do so they can use a bigger card without taking the hit.

@MegaTen They really need to see this as a problem and address it accordingly. If that means lower cost then do so. I've bought one 256gb card and I'm not buying anymore during the systems life!

@Grumblevolcano The issue is that third parties need to buy the cards from Nintendo, so they spend more per card than Nintendo themselves. On top of that, Nintendo is more familiar with their own hardware than anyone else, and their games don't have to be as profitable as other publisher's. Nintendo also makes money from selling game cards, selling the console itself, collecting royalties from third party sales, etc. They have other revenues third parties don't have, so they can allow themselves to spend extra time and resources on optimisation.
That being said though, they should've foreseen this issue. I think it may hurt third party sales in the long run.
What's the point of having 32gb carts if nobody actually uses them?
That LA Noire news pissed me off. Because they're alr3ady charging more. I don't mind paying more provided the whole game is on the cart.
I imagine Nintendo, in their effort to get 3rd parties on board, recommended cutting costs buy proposing smaller carts with large downloads.
It pisses me off. It's not gonna stop me from buying the games but, I am NOT happy about it. But if this is the cost of finally having some notable 3rd party games on Switch, I suppose it's not the worst thing in the world. Nintendo needs to do something. Take the hit and offer all carts at the same price to ensure games use the largest size possible. 32gb was already not enough. 16 is laughable for these games
