Nintendo Switch Sports is 1.4GB are you kidding me?! What decade is this again?

You brought up an interesting discrepancy. The Nintendo.com listing shows the game as 3 GB, but the Switch eShop listing says 1.4 GB. Nintendo.com says 'game file size,' while the Switch eShop sales 'required space.' I wonder if the listing is a mistake, or if there's that big of a difference between the space needed to download the space actually taken up after installation.

If Nintendo Switch Sports really is 1.4GB, it could fit on a Gamecube disc. It seems rather small, but then the original Wii Sports was 0.3GB and Wii Sports Resort(which had far more content than the original and this game) was 0.85GB. And Nintendo are really good with their compression techniques these days, so maybe it's possible. I checked the Nintendo UK page just now and it says it's download size is 1.526GB.

The game will expand when Golf is added, and I don't think that will the only addition.

Looking at some of the other listings file sizes I seen Raven's Hike at 68GB, 🤨. Checked turns out it's a typo, it's 68MB.

And then Waifu Impact at 574 GB, 😳. Though I can't find it on Nintendo's site, it clearly must be another typo. Could you imagine if it was that size?


That would make for a lot of… detail. I’m sure some folks would dedicate a special 1TB card just to play it though ;)
