No problem here 😌. This not like god of war ragnarok ps5 150gb first download or every call of duty 120gb+. On ps5 tera ssd only 5 or 6 big game install together. On mine switch pro with 64gb storrage i download many big nintendo games 🥰 + still there is option use compact sd card 510gb.
Ark has been my nightmare… with all DLCs, the PC version is over 400 GB, and its updates were often times like 20 GB of download and another 30 GB or so of disk-write. I only have the free DLCs and it takes up half of my 500 GB secondary internal hard drive… Tears of the Kingdom could be 50GB and I would still be unfazed!
Part of me feels like this change was mandated by Nintendo to just barely get it under 16 gb to get it on the 16gb cartridge for a retail copy. Probably not but the change to just under 16gb is a little sus
I doubt it because even then it is still to big considering a 16gb card is actually only around 14.5gb. No ad card gives you the full amount of space you pay for due to how companies figure up storage space equations.
