Nintendo Switch: 5 Burning Questions We Still Need Answering

5. How Big Will Internal Memory Be?

Despite some amazing Wii U games and the fact you can play older Wii titles on it easily, the system ultimately failed if you wanted to download everything onto the internal hard drive. With only 8 to 32GB available and the only way to expand being to purchase an external USB hard drive, it was hardly an ideal answer to such an extremely small storage space.

Most modern tablets can go up to 250GB worth of memory to store many apps and video games, and if Nintendo are going to try and sell this product towards the customers who want to get the most out of such a device, they need to consider the many types of gamers who are looking at something that is a console and tablet simultaneously.

We may not see the massive internal memory from capacity of up to 2TB from the PS4 and Xbox One, but they need to make sure that it can at least excel the Wii U's very small space available for downloadable games.

The only way Nintendo could get over this - providing the 32GB storage rumour is true - would be to use the cartridges themselves as extra storage. They are rumoured to be be based on Mask ROM cartridges as it's supposed to be a more proficient way to store a large amount of content compared to disc-based formats, and this could actually become an effective way to have optional storage.
