Macronix, the Taiwanese company that’s been making Nintendo’s game cards for years, just shared some interesting news in its latest financial report. 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.
