Storage Struggles for Nintendo Switch Owners
Nintendo Switch owners have been grappling with limited storage space, forcing many to opt for physical games. The Switch OLED offers less than 64GB of storage, while other models provide even less at under 32GB. This lack of storage makes it challenging to accommodate larger modern games.
Game Size Reductions Pose Problems
Developers often reduce the size of their games to ensure compatibility across all Nintendo Switch models. However, this approach can lead to issues, as exemplified by a recent release. Mortal Kombat 1, which has been successful on other platforms, has faced criticism for being virtually unplayable on the Switch.
Graphics Downgrades, Bugs, and Crashes
The Switch version of Mortal Kombat 1 suffers from noticeably downgraded graphics, frequent bugs, and crashes. Players have eagerly been awaiting a patch to address these issues and improve gameplay.
A Hefty Patch Size
Unfortunately, the recently released patch for Mortal Kombat 1 comes with a hefty download size. Some players have reported an install size as large as 27.4GB, nearly consuming the entire internal storage of the original Switch and Switch Lite models.
Inconsistent Install Sizes
Not all players encounter this problem, as some experience a smaller install size. Speculation suggests that the large file overwrites the entire game, while the smaller one only installs the new patch.
Storage Space Struggles Continue
Despite the patch improving gameplay, the total install size for Mortal Kombat 1 remains substantial at over 36GB, requiring significant storage space. While external storage options can be utilized, additional storage is primarily needed for this specific game.
Pleased Players Despite Storage Dilemma
Nevertheless, players are pleased that the patch has enhanced the gaming experience, making their investment in Mortal Kombat 1 worthwhile.
