The new Switch 2 boasts a substantial technological advancement compared to its previous version, which means the games will undeniably be more visually stunning, challenging technically, and consequently, larger in file size. However, they won’t become excessively large, as it has been found out.

Nintendo is gradually disclosing the file sizes of upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games through their Japanese online store, and so far, these sizes appear to be larger than those for the original Nintendo Switch but still quite reasonable compared to current industry standards.

Compared to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s 11.3 GB on Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart World is larger with a 23.4 GB file size. On the other hand, Donkey Kong Bananza will require only 10 GB of storage. Notably, Super Mario Odyssey, the team’s recent significant 3D platformer, takes up just 5.6 GB.
