Gaming Dragon Quest 3 question

[PikachuPrincess23]

I have a Nintendo Switch Oled with 64 syste memory and I have an SD card that I use on it, but unfortunately I only have 1 SD card and I would like to play on the Wii U again, then I need an SD card. Can I play Dragon Quest 3 HD Remake game on 64 system memory? When it comes out tomorrow.

The Switch version of Dragon Quest XI S has a file size of 13.5GB. The Switch’s standard cartridge size is 16GB, with larger capacities (up to 32GB) available but more expensive and not yet widely standardized. It’s likely that the original game’s size would be significantly smaller compared to modern games, considering the technology and storage capabilities available at the time of its release (1988). Keep in mind this isn't taking into account savedata.

Yes I was talking about that game, since it's 7GB does it mean I can play it without SD Card?

Right, I understand and it was my hypothesis based on what I know previously without looking up the upcoming release.

7GB < 64 GB

Yes.

7GB < 64 GB

Yes.

Thank godness for that, now I can use SD card I'm using on Nintendo switch Oled on Wii U without any problem. So can I buy new SD card when I get money again.
What others games can I play on Nintendo switch Oled without SD card?

With 64 GB I think only NBA games won't fit.

Be aware of saves though. They are reserving fixed amount of space when you boot game first time, so you may be forced to remove saves at some point. The worst case is Minecraft that outright reserves 2GB for saves. The default size is 65 MB. Most games don't change that even though they need much less.

The default size is 65 MB. Most games don't change that even though they need much less.

To say that most games use 65mb or more even if they don't need it is just plain wrong. Out of the 51 Switch games I own 46 of them have saves smaller than 65mb. Most of them much smaller than that.

I'm pretty sure Minecraft reserves that, but it also expands it if needed. I don't play it, so someone can tell me if I'm wrong. I could have sworn that was a problem I had to deal with a long time ago. New Pokemon Snap does the same thing.
