>buy 1TB Micro SD Express for my switch 2 because I want to have all of my switch games on one card
>92gb space left on the card and there's still some games downloading
how the fuck am I not able to cram my Switch library on 1TB SD card? What the fuck how are these games taking so much fucking space? This is ridiculous.

nintendo should have included a nvme slot. ps5 has it. steam deck has it. even my chink handheld has it. I predict the revision is going to have it.

>witcher 3 - 39.1 gb
>FF x/x-2 hd remaster - 27gb
>No man's sky - 26gb
>kakarot - 25gb
>xcom 2 - 24gb
>SW battlefront collection - 23gb
>mario kart world - 22gb
All of these games are taking way too much space, Mario Kart World should fit in a DVD, it shouldn't be 22gb and neither should any of these other games

>NWN 2 digital enhanced editon - 22gb
nobody is bothering to optimize filesizes anymore... it's brutal

>SW Kotor 2 - 17gb
how the fuck is this even possible

>>723555271
I think it needed games to take less space. Since we're headed to digital era, games need to be able to fit reasonable in reasonable storage sizes

>>723555789
nvme holds more for less cost. 1tb micro sd is $80-100 depending on the speed. 1tb nvme rapes it in speed and for $50-70.

>>723555932
problem is that whatever we use, it needs to be 2 or 4tb. the game filesizes are just too big. og xbox game is taking 4x more space on switch, when that console had many games under 2gb?? how tf is kotor 2 17gb, or SW battlefront collection 23gb, and not 2.3gb ?

>>723555465
All of those games play worst on the switch why even own them on this console.

>>723555625
I just dl this on my pc and it's like 7gb

>>723557231
Maybe they're not "most optimal" way to play them, but I enjoy playing them on switch. There's no reason these games should be more than 8gb max

>>723555180 (OP)
Feelsgood with 4TBs of storage

>>723555789
Digital age means you streaming the game

>>723555180 (OP)
I don't see the problem, just uninstall some games.

>>723555180 (OP)
Post proof that you filled up a 1 TB card

>>723555465
delete witcher 3

>>723558787
>”erm, the problem is actually you and you should just put up with it”
Or maybe nintendo could improve their storage space to actually be suitable for digital games. Or how about devs learn to optimize their games so they aren’t bloated messes

>>723555465
uninstall everything but no mans sky and mario kart

>>723555180 (OP)
>how the fuck am I not able to cram my Switch library on 1TB SD card?
You don't. Get yourself a portable SSD for a backup.

>>723558897
idk im lazy, currently downloading some of the remaining games. I guess I can later try take screencap of the sd on windows. Right now SD has 21.5gb space left

>>723558997
>Or how about devs learn to optimize their games so they aren’t bloated messes
yeah this is big problem, because some old games from xbox era are now taking 10gb-15gb more than they used to... there's no excuse for this

>>723558997
I've had 1TB for my gaming SSD for 8 years, you'll survive

>>723559146
You mostly play old ass games like emulators, so they don't take big 20-30gb space

>>723559532
No I just delete games when I'm done with them like everyone does.

>>723558787
Yeah but I want keep games "available", because I dont have fiber optic internet it might take long time to download games

>>723560276
This post also applies to >>723559683

>>723558787
>honk-provoking image

Now it's 11.3gb left. Gradually becoming less of a 1TB card

>>723557849
How do you get 4tb on a deck? That looks cool, portable gaming and mini Linux laptop

>>723561065
2TB SSD+2TB microSD

>11gb left
>I thought I had already downloaded botw, but for some reason it still needs to download something, probably upgrade pack
>download 19 minutes remaining
this is looking really fucking bad

>>723555180 (OP)
How many fucking games do you have dude
It’s your own fault for buying exclusively digital

>>723555180 (OP)
I can't even fill the internal storage. No gaems + physical switch 1 games don't need installs.

>>723561415
probably 120 or 150 games or something

>>723561620
I think this is on your game collection being obese anon

I guess I'll uninstall "sequels" for games I haven't played yet.. so if there's 1-2-3 and I still haven't played 1, I'll just uninstall the 2-3 , this way I can save some space. Though honestly I wish I wouldn't need to do this cause not having to do this is the reason I bought the 1tb SD in the first place

>>723561949
When I see something interesting on -50%, 65% or 75% sale, it's hard to resist

>>723561959
Should've gotten a Steam Deck lmao

>>723555465
>FF x/x-2 hd remaster - 27gb

WUT....

Isnt ffx like 8gb originally?
And the pile of shit that is x2 like 7gb?

So 27gb how?

>>723557682
8gb? Are you retarded?

>Finish game
>Never touches it again
>keeps installed forever anyways
sounds like a (You) problem

>>723562191
No I'm not retarded. Games, even in "HD Remaster" version should not take more than 8gb, if they were properly optimized filesizes. But since they're not, they end up taking 20-30+ instead. Something like Ghost recon on xbox was 700mb, so it could've fit even on a CD of PS1 if they pushed.. I imagine if that game was "hd remastered" for switch it would be 15gb minimum, and the switch port of original game (no hd remaster) 8gb or something. Why? Because modern devs are lazy

OP is a fucking faggot that's filling his game collection with numerous remasters and free to play games. He probably has the crysis trilogy and apex legends on it.

>>723555271
this may be too big brained of a solution but why dont these consoles have more than one microSD slot
>>723555465
you don't need 40 gigabytes of Switcher 3 on your console until they make a proper Switch 2 edition

prioritize switch 2 games, switch 2 edition games, games with performance updates, followed by games with uncapped framerates in that order

>>723562728
>He probably has the crysis trilogy
I honestly wish I did, I think I missed its sale at one point

>and apex legends on it
naaah I'm not like that, I don't play free to play games

>>723562742
>prioritize switch 2 games, switch 2 edition games, games with performance updates, followed by games with uncapped framerates in that order
This is actually solid advice anon, I may have to try follow it. I tried playing bloodstained the other day and it looks like it doesn't have unlocked FPS, so it doesn't get benefits from Switch 2. Though what's most criminal is how smooth the FPS is on Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, whilst on HW: Age of Calamity i'ts rubbish.

If you have link to the google drive sheet on list of games that got switch 2 boost, I'd like to take a look

1.7gb space left on SD, and some games not completed... but fortunately most of the important games are on the stick so I guess that's ok? 2tb would probably have made it more hassle free, but 2tb sd will probably cost 400-500$ in release lol

>>723563346
So you uninstall the sloppiest of yhe slops, big deal

>>723562728
>OP is faggot for having games on his console

>>723562728
Not sure if I would buy trilogy, but Crysis 1 remake is defo something I would want to have. I also have metro trilogy, and have stalker games on my wishlist. Though I think what switch needs is realistic racing games like GT5 or GT7, let's hope Microsoft will port Forza to switch at some point

Also Freelancer. Switch needs a game like Freelancer. And maybe Swat 4

I also own a 1TB micro express card (that I essentially got it for free because Amazon screwed up with the order) but I just uninstall large single-player games once I'm done with them.
The sole massively huge game I have in my Switch library is the Hatsune Miku Project Diva as it's a near 50GB with all the DLCs (rhythm games being the kind of thing you play in short bursts once in a while) but otherwise Switch 1 & 2 games aren't too big for now, but that could change quickly with the upcoming titles such as Resident Evil 7-8-9, Final Fantasy VII remake and Dynasty Warriors Origins.

I guess I'm gonna have to start making groups for games and start to discriminate them more. Make a group for 2d indie games I like, and some good 3d games. Then make separate groups for slop stuff and "keep unsinstalled" group

sakura dungeon is meant to be played with offline profiles

>>723564254
Nintendo has fucking billions in the bank. They can and should spare a few million just to bring back IPs both first and third party to fill their roster of switch exclusives.

I don't play free to play games but I might start if there's a good one.. please recommend me some games I can look into. No I'm not touching fortnite/apex or the usual suspects, but something like dauntless, paladins or arena of valor could be interesting if they're good

>>723565154
Yea they should do this. The NSO consoles also need more games.

>>723565154
Having the money to make it happen is one thing, but they still need the staff to make it happen and interest from them in the first place. If it’s worth anything they are working towards that with the development of that new building, so it’s not like they’re completely sitting on their ass
>then just hire some outside devs to do the games
Such did happen with the advance wars remake and look what that got us

>>723566239
Off, aw remake was that bad?

>>723555180 (OP)
>1TB MicroSD express is not enough
For me, its 0TB.
I will not buy your game key cards.
I will not buy your (((digital))) games.
I will only buy my games fully in my physical cartridge.
Delivered by a poorly dressed nigger on my front door.
I will not connect my Switch 2 to the Internet, nor link it to a Nintendo (((account)).
All required firmware will be installed from the required firmware that comes with the game inside the cartridge.
>but my online multiplayer
And who told you I want to play with you?
I will only play single player games.

>>723557849
yeah because you practically need that much. Physical chads stay winning

>>723567521
FUCKING KEK

SO TRUE KING

>>723565330
Does Switch 1/2 have any good free to play games? Warframe might be too much, but something like some kind of moba might just hit the spot. Idk which but either paladins or dauntless looked like it might not have latest version on switch.

I just uninstalled Quake 1 because Quake 2 is better game

>>723567820
Apex is kinda kino

>>723565330
>>723567820
Super Kirby Clash

>>723568006
Has nightdive updated any of their games to support the switch 2?

>>723568129
I don't have many of their games so I can't comment, I would assume they run on switch 2, but some of them might have some issues maybe? I remember quake 2 was maybe running a bit too fast or doing something weird.

>>723568052
I'll give it a try. Are there other games I should know about?

>>723568040
Not big fan of apex or other battle royale style games, but deadzone rogue (not f2p but..) looks interesting af

>>723567628
Someone post that pic of the retard who lost his whole physical collection in a house fire or the other retard where he lost it all in a flood lmfao.

I hate how there's filter for "downloaded software", but no filter for loaded games that still need to be downloaded

>>723555180 (OP)
jfc anon, how fucking big is your inkling screenshot collection?
mine is 3TB and growing

>>723569517
I have 1tb lexar, is it bad that it's not sandisk?

>>723555180 (OP)
How did you manage that when switch 2 only has one game?

>>723569659
Weird, I own one for my Switch.

>>723568829
Speaking of feature requests (I hope someone will send this kind of stuff to nintendo so they can sort this kind of shit out), I wish games unloaded wouldn't be removed from groups. I just noticed a big problem that if I have games on groups, if I unload them from system they get removed from groups, and they don't get added (afaik) even if the game is reloaded? This is bad if you want to remove games from home screen, but it's also extra bad if you happen to own a switch 1 with which you're sharing some of your library with... so if you load a grouped game to another switch, it getting removed from the group is kinda cancer. This is the kind of shit nintendo needs to iron out and fast, imo

>>723569660
hahahaha

>best indie games group includes games:

>Balatro
>Vampire Survivor
>Tokyo Racer X
>Scarlet Tower

all games I've bought twice for another switch

>>723555180 (OP)
I got one last week. Installed all my switch 1 games and have about 300gb free but it'll fill up quick with switch 2 games. I will have to delete some games eventually.

>>723555180 (OP)
Right now, my switch 2 with an sd of 256 is more than enough, but if i start buying third party Switch 2 games i might be in trouble, i will triple dip FFVII remake next year and that alone is fucking 90 gb!

>>723557849
Ah yes. The thing I just needed on my portable game console. A fucking Linux terminal.

>>723570976
Retard

>>723570976
holy fucking based take

I only buy nintendo games so I don't have this issue, in fact I don't even use an sd card lol

>>723571076
how did you survive on switch 1? that one had very small internal storage, at least the non-oled first models

>>723570735
Devs need to relearn on how to fucking COMPRESS FILES.

>>723558897
I deleted some sequels of games I haven't played first game yet, and managed to get most of the kino installed

>>723571239
Yeah it's insane how fucking out of hand the filesizes are because they can't do simple stuff like compress the files a little bit

>>723570976
lmao

>>723570976
Anon these cultists don't even play games, they just bought the deck because they believe they are "supporting" linux indirectly or whatever the fuck, their mind is completely rotten.

>>723571154
i had a 512 sd card, didn't bother putting it on switch 2 yet tho, even with my whole library i still have 113 gb left, can probably handle 5 or more games from 'tendo

>>723572237
>i had a 512 sd card, didn't bother putting it on switch 2 yet tho
switch 2 has different kind of SD card format, you'll only be able to use the old card for album and stuff, but not to play games. If you want to play games from SD card (on switch 2) you need the new "Express" format of Micro SD cards (more expensive that "regular" Micro SD cards, because they're faster)

>>723569898
Why are you unloading virtual game cards at all? You should either leave them loaded onto your primary system or have them loaded on a secondary system. I know you CAN eject a virtual game card and not have it inserted into any console, but I don't know why you would ever need to/want to.

And enable online license check in user settings so you can play games loaded onto other systems when they aren't in use.

>>723572435
I'm honestly still a bit new to this virtual card stuff, but it's mostly been to share games with my old switch 1 console when there's some guest coming over, so I can have a friend play multiplat games on underpowered switch 1

>>723572376
its over

>>723572773
I think managing save files is only hurdle. Luckily most of them can be backed up to cloud, and those which can't, you can do "send save file" from switch 1 to switch 2 console nearby. However it becomes a problem if while you're gaming on switch 2, you decide to "desync" save file cloud with some game (so the cloud no longer has newest version of save file), and you decide to at some point increase the size of sd card, then you might have to do the backuping of local save on PC, and that becomes harder. It's better to re-sync all of the games within Switch 2 OS settings, before upgrading to bigger SD card. I'm now learning this the hard way, since there's a lot of more work than if I just had everything synced

>>723573082
>managing save files is THE only hurdle
forgot to add "the"

I think you ignore these two files, probably to do with what dash reports of loaded games and some other stuff. They are present even on a formatted card. So basically if you backed up an older SD card to PC, and you move these files to new SD card, you don't move these two files from old SD card, and if you formatted the new SD card with switch, you don't replace these two files on new SD card with the versions of the backup SD card ... I think
