NX cartdriges confirmed
No other Wii U game mentions cartridge in the classification. The images come from the US trademark site.
Ok.
>>342457356
It also says memory cards
What.
>>342457356
anon where did you get this?
>>342457356
Makes sense.
DvD/Bluray is shit.
MicroSD/SSD is where it's at.

So will the physical game copy cost $150+?
What does nintendo gain by begin so secretive
>>342457424
Interesting.
But it makes sense if the NX is still the handheld/console hybrid everyone is saying it is.
>>342457424
>>342457356
Let's say it's a 50GB cartridge. How expensive it will be to produce?
I see
Killing the NX before is out
Classic Nintendo.
>>342458245
3 maybe 4
>>342458040
64g usb flash drives are under 20 dollars.
what if it's a console/handheld hybrid gimmick
>>342458074

This phrase doesn't mean anything. Stop using it.
Flashcard when?

20 bucks~
>>342458245
$30-$70 probably
>>342458421
They already tried that with the GBA link cable, the DS/Wii wireless connection and finally the Wii U tablet.
I doubt they're dumb enough to try again.
>>342458532
Those are totally diferent
>Cartridge
NX is a mobile device?
>>342458473
Bluray solds at 1$
This solds at 20$
Except 70$ games
>>342458532
>I doubt they're dumb enough
Those are fighting words for Nintendo.
>>342458593
NX will be the new handheld and the new console. in other words, an extremely powerful handheld. more powerful than the neo.
>>342458340
>>342458684
Oh God
>>342458040
Probably the same as 3DS games. 3DS carts go up to 8GB
and very few if any games actually utilize all the disc space of bluray/whatever Xbone and WiiU use now, much of it is duplicate data so the disc doesn't have to seek as much which means faster read and load times, also uncompressed audio
Like most PS3 games are less than 10gigs if they don't use uncompressed audio
>>342458245
pretty cheap
>>342458447
>handheld unit for on the go gaming
>console unit the handheld plugs into to gain more processing power for better visuals/effect at home
>>342458465
Probably never, seeing as how 3DS and WiiU still got their asses busted wide open despite their best attempts at locking it down
They're going to step up their security game, I wouldn't be surprised if a Vita-tier lockdown of the system is what hackers will run into and promptly give up on
Remember when the NX was supposed to be more powerful than a PS4 and Xbone?
>>342458612
>70 dollar games
you're probably right.
the quality stays the same but the price continues to soar.
>>342458447
Makes sense to me. He's assuming a home console with some sort of detachable on-the-go functionality.
>>342458692
god damn this picture makes me feel bad
>>342458684
Anon, I am the ultimate Ninteno fanboy but
>handheld
>more powerful than the neo
What the fuck are you doing, nigga? Surely you realize what you just typed.
>>342458729
what's the point otherwise?
if they want to attract third parties they better.
>>342458245
You can get a 128GB microSD card for as low as $30.
Flash storage is fucking cheap as hell nowadays.
>>342458861
So add 30 to initial game price?
You dont get this shit arent you
>>342458245
I can literally get a 128gb flash drive for 5 bucks.
>>342458842
that's why it's a hybrid
and please refrain from using the "N" word again. my boyfriend gets very upset.
>>342458753
>uses cartridges
>zero load times
Sounds more powerful to me.
>>342458532
Except that Nintendo only has 1 new console coming out and if you look at it objectively, the 3DS was a much more successful console compared to the Wii U. They have many handheld only series, it would be very strange if they just walked away from the Handheld market
>>342458692
>Fuck, that's what ours looks like.
>>342458930
Link
>>342457356
Solid state storage is objectively the best way to play video games and was only replaced by disks due to the expensiveness of solid state media in the past.
>>342458930
where?
>>342458835
That looks more like a look of contemplation than 'JUST' to me
Part of trade shows is seeing what everyone else is doing, hell, maybe he's hyped for it. Nothing says the CEO of one game company can't enjoy playing the games of their competition. I mean fuck, Shuhei Yoshida comes off as a mega idort who plays all sorts of games
>>342458763
I haven't alive before 2000: The Post.

The NX is a Wii U meets 32X? Do you morons want Nintendo to fail?
>>342458924
>retail price = price of production
Absolutely dank.
>>342458245
A couple dollars maybe.
Told you fucking faggots it's a handheld.
It's literally WiiU being slimmed and repurposed into the next handheld.
It'll be a disc driveless WiiU, in a sense. Future NX games will instead release digitally on the WiiU instead of retail disc. WiiU may get a card reader attachment, even.

Eheheheheh
>>342459002
Would be awesome to see USB or SSD used as old school cartridges.
So are they going to be Carts or cards?
My dream would be SNES sized carts just for nostalgia sake
>>342459110
WiiU and 3DS emulation are well on their way
>>342459092
it's alright, nigger.
>>342459091
doesn't installing get rid of load times anyway?
>You will some day have 1TB carts for your NX with all the best games on a single cart
MY DICK
>>342459091
Not with games today, faster than HDD for sure. Think GCN fast.
>>342458784
The phrase doesn't mean anything. It's either a handheld or it's not. Even if the handheld can plug into a television, it still has to meet the size, heat, and power consumption requirements of a handheld.
If it's basically a Wii U except the controller is its own portable in its own right, that's not a hybrid device. It's just two devices that work together.
>>342459123
Lots of rumors are saying cartridges. I think they're just a pleasant thought like the whole hybrid bullshit. Nintendo wants to deviate from the norm but they also want 3rd-party support.
Cartridges have always been the superior way to play video games, much like vinyl being the best option for music.
>>342458924
Sony and Microsoft add $59 to the cost of mass-produced blu-rays.
I can get a 64GB microSD for ~$20, and that has more storage space than a blu-ray.
>>342458956
>the 3DS was a much more successful console compared to
But a failure compared to the DS. They're done, even in the handheld market because the handheld market itself is done. The NX will not sink or swim based on hardware gimmicks like the Wii did, it'll have to go back to what made them famous in the first place and have a killer software lineup. Judging by their performance this gen I don't see that happening. That's life. You can take comfort in the fact that Sony will probably be joining them in the grave too though.
B-but what about the 3DS?
Has it's time come to an end?
Sleep well pupper, you did good.
>>342459164
>installing
I don't know about your experience but every game that I could install still had load times after doing so.
>>342459260
why not just use flac. It's lossless.
>Nintencentimeters will defend this
>>342459234
I dont really see how carts would hurt 3rd party support. Its literally just the same info from a blu ray but on a cart
>>342459204
isn't blue ray faster anyway since it has a shorter beam?
>>342459281
Not for me, my 3DS backlog is huge
>>342459272
Because all casuals went to phones
The 3DS was a bigger success than DS in the sense than it proved you dont need the uber phone casuals to make a very profitable handheld
>>342459220
It could also be an auxillary processing unit, the handheld gets plugged in as the 'brains' of the console and then the aux unit supplements its processing and graphics/memory power
this would probably be prohibitively expensive though
>>342459272
>le nintendo is dying
Post invalidated.
>>342459304
even digital downloads? cartridges don't mean no loading.
>>342459349
Same here. I'll get around to them eventually.
>>342459306
>Digitalshits
No. Vinyls are organic pressings. The sound your hearing, if you've got a proper analog speaker and amp setup too, is REAL shit. Exactly the same timbre that the microphones picked up. Digital shit it's all flattened into 1's and 0's. It sounds "the same" but it doesn't hit your ears the same and give the same effect.
Listening to pristine mint vinyls on my dads setup at full blast is an insane experience. It sounds like you're in the room with the band.

it was a joke compared to the library of the DS. are you kidding me?
>>342459326
Third parties have to buy their physical media. Cartridges cost more than a Blu-ray disc. When you are talking about hundreds of thousands to millions of copies for a print run, the cost difference between a 50 cent Blu-ray and a $2-3 cartridge [and I'm being generous here -- it was $7-12 on N64 but a modern cartridge wouldn't be EEPROM] is significant.
>>342459306
He's retarded, that's why.
Records are obsolete and he can't handle that
>>342459391

So return of the EXT port or Nintendo paying for a Thunderbolt license? Neither seems particularly likely to me.

I hate that shit
>>342459272
A successful console is a successful console. Just because it didn't do DS numbers doesn't mean it wasn't a good product for Nintendo. And actually having the thought process that if it isn't as good or better then the DS can be pretty cancerous for a company to have.
Fact is, if Nintendo believes that they can have a successful, profitable handheld system, they would make it.
>>342459458
3DS library shits on the DS's though you utter retard.
>>342459349
Ha! Jokes on you, My backlog for EVERY console is huge!;_;
>>342459415
w-what do you listen to, senpai?
>>342459458
It got tons of games and there are still games coming out for it
>>342459220
A hybrid is just
>a thing made by combining two different elements.
As long as Nintendo sell the NX as a single product it's a hybrid system, deal with it.
>>342459549
They could use the cartridge port again if it has one.
>>342459569
damn nigga that's a funny ass joke.
>>342459375
>Because all casuals went to phones
Casuals weren't on the DS, stop making excuses. Were "casuals" on the GBA? The 3DS was an expensive failure with a 3D feature nobody wanted. 3D is poison. Their next system won't do any better.
>>342459391
>le Nintendo will live forever
Like zombie Atari maybe.
>>342459550
Fucking literal aids
tape > vinyl was fucking wasted on an era of music that was largely derivative, save for the few greats.
There's some pretty good stuff this past decade and a bit and it's all wasted on the youtube mp3 earbud gen
>>342459468
I think I read somewhere that developers had the option on the 64 to use cartridges supplied by Nintendo in exchange for some marketing or some crap but I may have dreamed it.
Any way I'm sure they could work out a deal.
>>342459714
>Casuals weren't on the DS
>>342459710
he's right though. ds lib is overrated as fuck. 3ds blows it out of the water with ease.
>>342459429

>Its literally a gameboy that can make calls
>>342459703
something like this is probably what they'll do.

>put cartridge into main console and it looks much better.
or something like that. maybe like a more portable wiiu pad.
Nitendo gonna be selling hardware addons?.......before sony and microsoft?......N64 expansion pak coming back?
I'm still kinda iffy on the manufacture cost of an individual SD/microSD card over an individual Blu-Ray/DVD per GB.
>>342458692
>it's not the hardware that matters... It's all about the games
He tells himself
>>342459549
It'd be more like a cradle and the handheld part plugs into it when you're at home, which charges it and lets you use it as a home console.
It won't be like that obviously but it's an interesting though
>>342458473
>20 bucks RETAIL price
So 2 bucks to produce
>>342458930
Nigga don't leave us hanging on a deal like that

>>342459563
>A successful console is a successful console. Just because it didn't do DS numbers doesn't mean it wasn't a good product for Nintendo.
Didn't do GBA numbers either. They made far less on the 3DS than they did on their previous calculators, and if that trend continues they'll make even less on the next one. Not exactly sustainable or looking good as a business model.
>>342459905
m8, you're chatting shit and sound like a complete retard.
let's end this little charade.
give me a list of good ds games and i'll blown you the fuck out with a list of good 3ds games.
don't worry, i'll wait.
>>342460007

I fucking hate the nipple so much. It feels fucking terrible. Anything else would have been better.
>>342459164
>doesn't installing get rid of load times anyway?
Only if it's on a SSD or flash memory. If a system uses an HDD then no.

WiiU games compatibility.
>>342459776
>no other successful console had shovelware
>>342460164
>This kills the Wii U
>>342459958
Let's not forget this is Nintendo we're talking about here. unless they stop compressing their audio files, there's no way they could possibly fill 40+GB of data without increasing dev time to 6 years, and their teams are already stretched thin right now.
>>342460131
You can try replacing the rubber bit with a PSP1000 nub cap, I did that and it's much more usable now
>I CAN GET A 50 GB CARTRIDGE FOR 20 DOLLARS!
Who gives a fuck, that's 20 dollars that comes out of the developer's pocket every single game. That means they are getting less profit every single game sold. If a developer is considering porting their xbone/PS4 games to nx, that's yet another hurdle nintendo added to the porting costs.
This is going to be nintendo's LAST console.
>>342458397
And discs are 5 cents
So add that 19.95 to your game or you are losing money
>>342459831

>>342459306
Flac is CD quality you mongoloid. Vinyl is analog so it theoretically has infinite quality.
I can't tell the difference between flac (1.2mbs) and mp3 320kbs, so I just do mp3 though.
>>342460273
Wasn't the reason developers went to the PS1 because cartridges were so expensive?
>>342460447
Well, it may have to do with the fact that the N64 was a bitch to program for.
>>342459091
3DS and Vita games have load times, most of them much worse than the home console version
>>342460447
The memory limitations of cartridges were also prohibitive. Even if a n64 cartridge had the same capacity of a PSX disc, it would have been impossible to have the Final Fantasy games on n64
>>342460364
The only console still streaming off the disc is the Wii U.
>>342460247
I would, but I have one of the limited edition ones and I don't want to open it up.
But if I'm ever able to pick up a New 3DS for cheaper in a couple years I'll remember that.

Serious question, will this impact third party development? I mean, Reggie may have implied the NX is weaker than the current consoles and that already makes things hard.
I hope Nintendo does it.
All the hipsters will flock to it and a lot of Bluray VS Cartridge shitflinging to be made.
>>342460572
My point being that installing to the hardrive to reduce load times is drastically faster than streaming from disc.
I was responding to the claim that HDD's don't reduce load times in comparison to disc streaming which is a load of bullshit, sure SSD's are faster, but HDD's are still substantially faster than reading from disc

Making the same mustakes they did with n64.
Aussiecunt from nintendo here in melbourne, just a marketing guy, I've just popped into this thread to sit and laugh but I've had 2 whiskeys and I'm kinda tipsy so fuck it.
NX uses carts, but it's not what you think. The NX comes with "blank carts" like 2 or 3 of them I think. You can then buy more.
You basically take the blank carts to the retail outlet i.e. gamestop for you yanks, and the retail stores will be outfitted with a copy transfer device by nintendo where nintendo sends them a "master" cart, and whenever people go in store with their blank carts to purchase a game, the game is simply loaded up onto their cart and they pay. A much MUCH cheaper retail price than any system has ever had. They'll tell you how much space the game takes up on your cart and if it has the room.
You will probably be able to store like 2 or more NX games on one cart, I think they'll be about 30-50gb each.
New games will be 49$ US on NX from this. No retail overheads at all, it's like a digital copy sold in store transfered directly to you.
Otherwise, you can just purchase the games digitally from the online store. The NX carts themselves sold separately will cost about 50 bucks each.
Dev's don't have to do shit or worry about costs. Nintendo is sending gamestop digital game copies and a device to transfer them to users on purchase.
>>342460870
>shit audio
Can you hear the difference between 320kbps mp3 and FLAC?
Would cartridges be faster than Blu Rays?
3DS still have awful load times
>>342460742
It was more in a response comparing NX to project scorpio/neo which are chasing VR and 4k and stating that they are more focused on giving people content over chasing gimmicks and ultra hd
>>342460156
Flash memory is no silver bullet either. The cheap solutions that anons are suggesting are slower than you'd think with maximum speeds in the 30-50 MB/s range. Something of that caliber is effectively useless since you have to install the game to the HDD anyway, it just makes the initial install less painful and slightly simplifies streaming assets. I'd wager no console manufacturer is willing to go for those minute advantages for all that extra cost.
Actually fast solid-state media is a whole another can of beans and nobody wants titles retailing around $100, so that's not a path worth exploring
>>342460920
Flash memory >>> discs
>>342460742
Third part development is pretty much going to be nonexistent like always. Even if Nintendo did everything like Sony and Microsoft, the third parties still wouldn't focus on them. Like always Nintendo is better off making good games on their own supplemented by the few third parties who want to throw them a bone. Now whether or not they'll actually make good games in the quantities needed remains to be seen.
>>342460641
If you stretch a "lossless" digital file out, it'll distort .
Analog can be stretched to the end of time and it just smoothly lingers on. It's why vinyls are still used in djing and not digital copies. They have TRUE infinite quality so they can be messed with in any manner.

No backwards compatibility then, NX only adopters BTFO.
>>342460913
They did something like this back in the 80s with the Famicom Disk Drive, which used floppy disks.
Can Nintendo do anything without a gimmick, holy shit
>>342460913
Are you stupid? Retailers still take a cut from games from advertisements and "carrying" the item. So publishers still factor that in.
>>342461160
I was using it as an example shit for brains. I mean retailers in general. Here in australia it'd be places like harvey norman and jbhifi etc.
It's literally just a black box thing, they'll have the master game carts behind the counter.
Nintendo literally sells gamestop a single master cart of a game, instead of shipping shitloads of bulk. The plan is to make money off way less overheads to nintendo and offer slightly more returns to the retailer because of this. Also to sell more cards to people who want to stock up on loadsagames.
>>342461184

1. Only for people with really expensive rigs
2. You still won't have any online functionality.
>>342461184
Not anymore, no. They can't keep their games fresh so they try to do that with gimmicks instead. Funny thing is a lot of older fans just want a console with a decent hardware.
>>342461291
At that point why even bother? It's basically digital.
>>342459002
This to be honest.
Considering that we nowadays have cards and flash drives for between 5 - 30bucks, I think it's safe to say that it's not that implausible for Nintendo to do this now. You also have to consider the fact that they will more than likely do their own cartridges too (Though a manufacturer will of course massproduce it for them of course)
Heck, it's mighty possible that it's a lot better than discs since it means less loading time and less risk of damage during transport and such I imagine.
>>342458340
Do you have any idea of how the technology currently works?
>>342461246
As did I. Nintendo will not be suffering any overhead. They send each retailer a single mastercart of the game, the initial copying devices obviously and any retail stuff like controllers as standard. They're offering the retailer more price per NX game than they'd be getting from PS4 games even despite the price drop.
>>342460919
Nigga the n64 us well known for its inferior sound quality and storage compared to the original playstation. Hell it dow right pissed developers off. They do carts and it's the same mistake

>Cartridges
>Gimmick
We truly are in the worst timeline.
>>342461184
Last time they did, nobody bought it.
>>342461364
Yes. but it's digital that works in a retail sense too and everyone wins. People don't have to wait to download a game, they can take their card in and buy the game and take it straight back home, just like retail, but with less cost to nintendo, the user and it's more convenient with better load times.
>>342460913
sounds bretty good if this is true. Would encourage more 3rd party support, lower costs. Only issue i think is making people buy carts for that price.

but no one wants to do that shit. I have remember a cart to get a digital copy of something that doesn't even have a box or sticker or anything? Fuck that.

Yeah, and all the gamestops in all your hick towns will risk the same investment as the gamestops in the cities.

I don't think this is remotely true, because that sounds like an ACTUAL fucking good idea and Nintendo wouldn't do that because they've been retarded as fuck the last bunch.
>All the bonuses of retail and digital in one fell swoop
Not gunna happen
Is this the beginning of the end for bluray?
Finally.
I guess this helps cut down on manufacturing costs. Not only for the NX Console, but also the number of SKUs for one game that Nintendo would have to print.
>>342461450
Even the gamecube had some "gimmicks" that didn't help. The tiny discs for no reason had shitty memory capacity, and if you consider visual design a gimmick, kids who want to seem cool don't want to play their games on a purple lunchbox
>>342461416
Carts have come a long way though. I still don't think it's a good idea, but to say they're still limiting isn't really true.
>>342461349
>2. You still won't have any online functionality
That's hardly a bad thing.
>>342461450
>Good console with good graphics and plenty of third party games
>No one bought it because "It's not Sony!!!"
I fucking hate console fanboys.
>>342461416
And?
Why would modern carts have shit audio quality?
We weren't talking about the N64.
I fucking hate when you fucking retards and journalists base rumours on trademark applications. It means nothing you dense fucks. Look at the WHOLE list of goods and service that are applied for.

Fuck you, I'd do it. I'll do ANYTHING that doesn't require actually downloading the entire game. My download speed is fucking abysmal.

I thought they should win publishers over, not retailers?
>>342458930
Is this from wholesale stuff in bulk or...?
>>342461695
Gee tell us something we don't know. This is just speculation you fucking doofus.
You're conflating journalism reporting on a rumor (which they should always avoid) to a bunch of fans just talking about the feasibility of the rumor.
>>342461695
Stop ruining our fun.
>>342459980
3rd party support doesn't exist anymore, and the ones that do are on exclusivity life support.
Everything is a multiplat, first party, or second party.
>>342461764
Remember, anon, Nintendo is a publisher. One of the largest game publishers on the planet. They share the same exact ideas as EA, Activision, and others [you don't think Microsoft came up with digital-only without any input from major publishers, do you?] who want to get rid of used game sales.
>>342460870
Anon, what decade do you think it is?
>>342461689
Because nin r endos current carts for 3ds are 8gb maxed and they have terrible sound quality due to compression and if nintendo wants to use cart with any decent sized memory for audio and fmvs devd still use today they will jack the games price up for the consumer. Bluray had its flaws but its cheaper and if the game has an install feature it loads pretty fast
>>342460237
there are first party wii u games size of 20gb like xenoblade.
no way games arent going to be bigger with 1080p support
>>342460913
Reminds me of my PSP days. Just bring my PSP to my local game shop and they'll load up on all the pirated games you ever want at almost nothing
>>342461764
That's going to be the downside, pretty much.
Nintendo is hoping though that the lower game cost will make it less arduous to the user. That and refunds will get you a credits based thing on the eshop instead. Game purchases in stores will be tied to your account (you have to setup the memory cart to your account in the beginning)
>>342457356
So the NX will be like a chromecast or slingbox then, take it with you on the go and then sling it to or put it into a home unit so that you can play your games on the big screen.
>>342458072
Lets a see
>game boy releases and is popular
Within a year, there's copies
>Wii releases and is popular
Within 2 years there's copies on competitors systems
>WiiU revealed a year before release
Competitors implement similar split screen tech for their new consoles
It basically cuts down the R&D time for competitors to copy your shit.
>>342461885
I never said the price wouldn't go up.
But thanks for proving my point.
>>342461876
Suppose that's a point actually.
>>342460913
>implying there is gamestop at europe or middle east or asia.
good , way to kill console
>>342462001
So what are these carts, anyway? SD? Something else proprietary?
You're full of shit but I'm curious.
>>342461350
>Funny thing is a lot of older fans just want a console with a decent hardware
I think "older fans" just want good games. There's no way they can compete with PC and Playstation in terms of getting AAA shitfests ported at this point and I don't think they have the dev power to churn out games like that themselves. The withered technology thing will only work for them if they have must-play exclusives like they used to, not the horseshit they tried to pull this gen. Hell, the Wii stole MonHun Tri from the PS3 so it can be done, but they need to convince people it's something they need to buy first.
>>342462061
>Competitors implement similar split screen tech for their new consoles
Not really. Very few Sony and MS games did dual screens.

What's the joke here. I've been buying SD cards and USB Flash cards from chinese online stores for years, and they're all still alive and kicking.
They're so easy to produce not even the chinese can fuck them up.
>>342458245
For a ROM chip? Couple of bucks.
Read-only memory is a lot cheaper than read/write memory like a flash drive or SD card.
>>342462289
>Wii U version
>>342461675
>and plenty of third party games
Compared to the competiton? No not at all.
You are the fanboy here unfortunately.
>>342462289
For the WiiU version.
>>342460913
I'm a real marketer and holy shit, this is just hilarious to read. Is this some pasta? Love it.
>>342462275
Good thing it costs way less to mass produce a quality cartridge than to buy at standard retail anon! You don't really think Nintendo pays $20 for each cartridge they will use right? McD's pays like 5 cents to make a hamburger that costs you ~$8 to make on your own
>>342461675
>I fucking hate console fanboys.

Kinda just typed it out, that double spacing is shameful shit

loading...loading.... looooooooaaaaaaading.
>please wait warmly while your cartridge loads by 8MB/s

Sweet. Time for frenetic blowing.

They didn't know how popular it would be, but I guarantee the Glass/Vita linkups were in response to the WiiU and its perceived popularity at the time of reveal
>>342458924
>you don't get this shit aren't you
>>342461776
publishers wouldn't have to worry about physical media, and could potentially get more profit per unit.

IT'S OGRE, NINTENDO IS FINISHED

>>342462456
Nintendo pays even lesser using discs
>>342462275
more like 20

>>342462681
>all these people ignoring the 3ds has atrocious load times even with small games.
>>342462713
True but by like half a cent if anything. It costs nothing for cartridges these days this isn't the 90's anymore
>>342462724
>6,5 MB per second.
Good luck loading HD games and full HD games with that.
>>342462775
It's not even just the 3DS, the Vita does too.

Are we seriously going to pretend that USB 3.0 does not exist with 120 mb/s read speed?
>>342458072
Getting people to buy their product without knowing what they're getting into.
>>342460913
So if this is true we get 2 or 3 games for $50 then everything after is $100.
Terrible lies, aussie.
>>342462316
A battery powered 3d ram chip would be more efficient. Having the battery recharged/bypassed when plugged in would ensure longevity as long as you plug it in every now and then. It's kind of pointless though when you can just download games from the internet now.
>>342462807
For a cartridge that would perform reasonably close to or superior to an HDD in read times, no it does not cost "nothing".
>>342462859
high capacity microsd is very slow, has fuck all to do with USB 3 spec
>>342462859
Microsd doesn't use usb3.
