The big title for the Nintendo Switch for the first quarter of the year is the highly anticipated next entry in the Animal Crossing series, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. A number of you will undoubtedly be purchasing the title digitally from the Nintendo Switch eShop so you’ll be interested to know that the file-size is around 6.2GB. The game will also feature amiibo support so expect more details on that to be divulged by Nintendo at a later date.
*Spits out tea* WHAT!? 6.2GB!?
Dude, that’s like around the size of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! Just how much are they cramming into this?!

Witcher 3 is like nearly 30gb and ALL on a cartridge if you opt for the physical version.
I can honestly say I have never been so awed by a sheer amount of content in a video game. ( well apart from Mario maker which is an endless supply of platforming genius ).

I’m pretty sure even New Leaf was one of the larger downloads for 3DS.

It was roughly a gb, which was sort of big at the time in 2014, but most of the games in the late 3ds library were way bigger

I think that’s still more than the average first party title but it is smaller than I was remembering. I was thinking 11 or 12k blocks.

Hopefully I will be able to use all those Animal Crossing Amiibo cards I saved from Happy Home Designer.

I REALLY hope they make use of the Amiibo cards similar to how New Leaf did in Welcome Amiibo. It’d be nice to just scan my Bob card and have him move in instead of resetting til he’s there.

Not surprised at the size. It is on Nintendo’s hardware, & if anyone can make a game huge as hell while still with a small amount of GB for data on the Switch, it’s them. This game is coming out years after BotW released which was around 13gb. Of course, if the game had been built from the ground up for Switch, it probably would have been lower than that but it sadly started as a Wii U game.
