For those looking to purchase the game digitally you will be pleased to know that the file size for Splatoon 2 is a mere 3.1GB. The information was spotted on the UK Switch eShop.
Splatoon 2 File Size Is 3.1GB According To The UK eShop

Nice. At this rate, it’s going to be a while before I need an SD card.
Physical for me as usual
Ninty might keep it bare bones and flesh the game out with updates.. .. It’s a good way to manage storage space.
Gonna said very novice here but sod it. How the hell is something like the Resident Evil HD remake a whopping 19GB file size?
know the PS4 is pushing more power, but the average file size is 50GB.
Because Nintendo is more skilled at, and focuses a lot on, keeping the file sizes small.
If I’m not misremembering MercurySteam (the studio that is developing Metroid: Seamus Returns) said in an interview that it was one of the things that they learned a lot about from woriking with Nintendo.
Nintendo recycle many artset, cartoon looking, not very high textures, and so on. Also Nintendo manage well everything.

I believe that is already a larger file size than the original Splatoon after its final update. That’s definitely a sign that we’re starting with a lot more initial content than before.
