@dew12333 ‘Game cards’ are digital.its just some software to try and fix the failing desire of digital only. So nintendo comes along and indoctrinates the new generation.

They (the publishers) would probably love a digital only realm. No manufacturing costs, significantly reduced resales and lending (game cards at least allow for lending games) very cool feature.

Nintendos game sharing is very cool overall but still i think its just a middle man to end at digital only and sony or microsoft don't have to go down this route so it doesn’t necessarily solve the lack of leading and sharing in digital only media.

Seems like an underhanded but clever way to kill off second hand game reselling.

On the surface it’s a cool idea but when you consider the whole lending to a friend aspect etc it’s open, unexpected and allows sharing of digital products.

That said with he security feature and second hand carts braking console it’s seems like you could connect some dots and say the two are connected and Nintendo is promoting digital sharing while saying a protection sendhand cart could broke your machine don’t buy physical.

Probs not describe it well but it seems like a clever strategy to wean people of second hand physicals and close the gaps in digital media (unable to share etc)

Basically I like the features but think it’s all a little underhanded if they are killing off slowly physical reselling.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Digital File Size Seemingly Reduced

@Manguy888A I doubt this is a modest success example and rather they have release 3 Xenoblade games on switch and know the fans cannot wait to try out X.

Seems like a no brained over a random act of willingness. Dont forget X’s low sale are due to the system (Wii u) rather than game quality, most Wii u games if realise first on switch would have sold very well.

Hey ever considered the possibility of you know numerous possibilities other than working to compress it further, for a small game size compression is hardly that complex. Besides why would they go off and further compress to reduce from 15 to 13.x

For me it seems more likely they put 15gb as a rounded figure provided by the devs, now closer to release and possibly with the game going gold (if it has) we now have an exact file size.

Summary most likely was always 13.4gb

@Ironcore First I don’t think it’s Nintendos fault for waiting to announce their product. I think it’s the fault of people not doing the ‘right’ thing.

I say ‘right’ because it is only a leak of some hardware but still the official announcement seems little deflated on Nintendo’s part. Like ok the cats out of the bag here you go have a a weak reveal instead.

All that said I actually do agree it should have been announce around November , but I say that because I was expecting a December-March release. Meanwhile Nintendo wanted one last Xmas sale period.
