Gamers who prefer physical copies<\/a> of their favorite titles may be getting a major win with the Switch 2. In an unexpected announcement<\/a> from retro video game publisher ININ Games, Nintendo reportedly has “two new smaller cartridge sizes” for its Switch 2 console. For ININ Games, these rumored game cartridges with smaller storage capacity allow the publisher to recalculate production costs and pursue a physical Switch 2 release<\/a> of its upcoming R-Type Dimensions III.<\/em><\/p>\n

ININ Games later deleted its posts mentioning these smaller Switch 2 cartridges and issued a correction on its website and social media pages<\/a>. However, the publisher reiterated that R-Type Dimensions III<\/em> will be released on a physical cartridge, but that “no further technical details regarding cartridge specifications have been officially confirmed.”<\/p>\n

“There has been no official announcement or confirmation from Nintendo concerning cartridge storage capacities,” ININ Games said in a statement. “Any references to specific storage sizes should not be interpreted as official information from Nintendo.”<\/p>\n

If we’re reading between the lines, ININ Games may have been early to tease a crucial detail about Switch 2 cartridges that Nintendo wasn’t officially ready to reveal yet. For more context, Nintendo reportedly only offers physical game cartridges for Switch 2 with a 64GB capacity. With less demanding games like R-Type Dimensions III<\/em>, that much storage capacity could be unnecessary and raise production costs. Nintendo still hasn’t made an announcement about these potential smaller cartridges, but we could see a lot more game publishers opting for physical copies of their upcoming games if they are indeed an option.<\/p>\n
