The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here and while it comes with a big boost in graphics and performance, the long-awaited hybrid console’s built-in storage also features a massive 700% increase over the original.
If you can believe it, the Nintendo Switch shipped with just 32GB of built-in storage when it launched eight years ago. At the time and thanks to Nintendo’s unmatched ability to deliver big games at a fraction of the size of other developers, this was more than enough to get you started building a library of the best Nintendo Switch games. For instance, Breath of the Wild took up 13.4GB of storage while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe only required 6.75GB at launch.
