The Witcher 3 is the first Switch game to use a 32gb card since launch

I can't wait for this. I also want square/Nintendo to stop being cheap shits and localize DQH1+2.
It should be noted that the 32GB cards were not available to Western developers for awhile (although costs were a concern, I had heard awhile back Nintendo's western branch wasn't making them available for reasons that weren't specified), so if this is truly on a 32GB, something must've changed recently. Hopefully this is a good sign of things going forward.
EDIT: And yeah, as someone mentioned, Asian and Japanese releases of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD on Switch are on the 32GB card.

Wrong thread.
It's 27GB with the game, expansion 1, expansion 2, and all the DLC? Wut
I was expecting the need to download at least 10GB of extra data to get access to the complete game. This is a very welcome surprise.
No I mean a 32GB card can only hold 27 or so GB when formatted.
Oh, really? I didn't know that, that's kind of bullshit (if expected with what I know of how storage devices work).
At least they are making games for the system.
Japanese companies, on the other hand...
Based on my playthrough of the full game and DLCs, "over 150 hours" seems... understated.
Even as someone who is all-digital on Switch, this is good news, and it helps to set a positive precedent. All of these massive publishers cheaping out on cards for their physical releases despite stupidly strong sales on Switch software are a disgrace.
I mean we are at half of year, and in plenty of cases Switch games get release date only 2-3 months before launch.
Totally getting this game. Want to support a publisher that doesn't cheap out on the game media.
Also gonna guess this is a October release. This and presumably Luigi's Mansion 3 would make for a great month.
They did a good job Clarifying the most salient points to avoid rumors and misunderstandings spinning out of control
But i think this is the case of the port being fairly strong to begin with so all the fine print keep painting the game with a better light.
32 I'm pretty sure. I have the Japanese version and both games are on the cart. No additional download. The eshop size is well over 16GB.
NICE! getting more and more 32GB carts out there will result in their price decreasing and more games being able to take advantage of them. i wonder what nintendo's first 32 GB games is going to be. probably prime 4 (if it makes it to switch) or botw 2.
i think these are the games that have used a 32 GB cart so far:
- dragon quest heroes 1 & 2 (japan-only launch game)
- resident evil revelations 2 (japan-only physical release, download code in other regions)
- final fantasy x/x-2 (japan and asian releases, other regions have one game as a download code)

Very nice! CDPR bringing the respect with a great port of a massive current-gen game as well as being the first to use a 32GB card. They get my money!
It's not technically the first game to release on a 32 GB card: DQ Heroes 1+2 did - but that retailed for 9k+ Yen ($80-ish) in Japan.

The game leaked, and the leaks indicated a September release, I don't remember which day.
You're right i forgot about that, since the leak was true i guess the release date is also likely to be correct, and of course it is September, like if we hadn't enough Switch games for that month already
Dragon Quest Heroes 1&2 and the Asian-region versions of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD used 32GB cards as well, but it's definitely good to hear that the 32GB card is being used by someone in the west. I hope Nintendo will incentivize the option more in the future, cause there's already a lot of games that really could have used that size card (L.A. Noire, NBA 2K19, etc).
I think they are the only ones who also included the DLC on disc for the PS4 Game of the year editions. Everyone else just uses the old disc and tosses in a download voucher.
Gonna guess 32GB cards are now the same price as 16GB was in 2017/18. 64GB would be the new 32GB tier, hence no one is using that one yet.
Not true, there are other GOTY editions with all content on disc.
This is one of those projects that you want to buy just because they attempted making it. Something like Donkey Kong Land for the original GB - you think it couldn't be made, and then they go ahead and do it.
Doom for the GBA, Bioshock for iPhone, Borderlands 2 for the Vita... it shouldn't exist, but it does, so you need it. I love these sort of versions.
Exactly - you buy it just for the absurdity of it. I mentioned Donkey Kong Land because that was the impossible game. This was supposed to be almost impossible to handle by the SNES, and the madmen ported it to an 8-bit old crank.
Anyway, I think I'm going to give the Witcher one more chance...
My man. I know exactly what you mean. That aforementioned Doom port was a revelation to 10 year old me.
You a "tried it, didn't like it" Witcher player too? I put about 30 hours into the PS4 version but it never held up for me. Going to jump back in if the price is right.
(The price won't be right)
Yeah, I tried but movement was too clunky, felt like a "PC" game if it makes sense, combat was a little bit sluggish and I was a little disappointed by the technical performance on base PS4 (compared to what was promised). But I would really love to give it a chance again.
And yeah, price won't be right.
The games strength is it's worldbuilding. Once you've done a few Witcher contracts and become familiar with the different oils and potions the game transforms. You are also quite flexible in how you want to approach combat. You can focus on sword skills, signs, potions or a combination of those.
There are some crazy powerful builds.
Side quests are amazing and flesh out the world, the lore and the characters.
I mean, they saved a ton of space on the textures/assets. And I'm not saying that to be glib. Just fact.
what about the DQ japan exclusive game at launch? I thought h that also was in a 32gb card.
edit: I missed the 'since launch' part. Apologies.

I'm guilty of this too. Gave it a go in a Steam sale and used my Xbox One S controller. It didn't feel good in the slightest (In fact it felt worse than TW2)
I want to try again, maybe I'll wait until the Switch version is for rent on game
