Turns out, Macronix's ROM chips are being used in both the current Nintendo Switch and the Switch 2 game cards. But here's the fun part: they're cooking up future cartridges using a mix of their own MLC NAND and some outsourced 3D NAND, depending on how much space is needed. But what does that mean for gamers? Different size Switch 2 game cards could be on the way! Right now, Switch 2 cards only come in one (pricey) size, which has made some third-party developers jump ship to cheaper Game-Key Cards. However, if Macronix's hint is anything to go by, we might soon see more storage options, and maybe even lower costs. | | | |
