Is it going to happen? How do you guys feel about the Switch console, do you pretend to switch for Switch if this happens?

    Err, pretty sure that was Skyrim Special Edition. There were Dragons...

    It would be cool I guess, but I don't think that's the target audience. The switch almost looks like a 2.0 DS. It's more a handheld with the ability play on TV than competition for PS4 an Xbone.

    I mean, the games are on cartridges, what game can those hold for real ?

    I don't think it would happen purely because of the cartridge based system the Switch will use. That doesn't seem to lend itself to an MMO format

    The game is 72GB and growing with every patch.There is no way those cartridges can hold that. Also, you are right, the MMO format doesn't work with it, you have to buy a new cartridges every DLC lol ?

    Cartridge plus DLC system would be hard to implement. The cartridge will have the base game but Nintendo historically haven't had consoles with large storage options.

    Well there goes that idea... :(

    Though if Nintendo have found a new way to do cartridges that hold more info, that's not necessarily a limitation. Or it could be like a console, where the base game can be installed from a disk, then all the DLC are digital downloads. I wouldn't think Nintendo would limit themselves at this point to having base games only like they've done in the past.
