The Japanese download card for the upcoming Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has revealed the game’s file-size and it is listed at 29GB. It could end up being slightly bigger if it gets a Day One patch etc, but it should be around that size when it launches on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on 4th December.
Metroid Prime 4 Switch 2 download card reveals file-size is 29GB
Nice. I was afraid it was gonna be like 40+GB.
If its going to be 40 to 45GB then that’s going to be a big problem.
Even if it was, just buy it physically if you’re worried about internal storage. That’s my plan- if I CAN get it physical, I’m going to, and I’ll save my internal storage for games that are download-only.
Retro Studios knows how to compress file size without losing anything. We will see the final file size for download though I’m buying physical.
1 to 2 giga of these for the voice over of that quippy guy I bet.
M4 is going to review (and sell) so poorly. They have taken out some of the main components of prime 1 that made is so good (isolation and figuring things out on your own) and stuffed it full of all the worst modern gaming traits possible. Such a shame.
Comment from a big, fat caveman troll…
Tell me, do you happen to have the lottery numbers? I’m interested!
What are you yapping about? You haven’t even played it yet.
This is so commonplace now, people spout “facts” about a game and how it plays even tho no one has seen more than an hour of the game and the rest is just them filling in the blanks with their own negative thoughts. Gaming fans these days are just so upset at the world for no reason it’s crazy.
