Re: Reaction: The NX Could Benefit from Using Cartridges Instead of Discs

whiffy5

The only two things that worry me about Nintendo using cartridges over discs is the possibility of no backwards compatibility with Wii U if the NX doesn't get a disc drive, and how much space a cartridge can hold. Don't get me wrong, memory cards have gotten capable of holding more data over the years (N64 cart can hold up to 64 mbs compared to 3DS carts that can hold up to 8 GB), but what concerns me is the size of the games. Sure, some games have smaller file sizes, but some games like Xenoblade Chronicles X can be around 22.7 GB, which is more than what any Nintendo cartridge has been able to hold so far. But who knows? This is Nintendo we're talking about. I guess we won't know till the NX is revealed.
