Fans now need to ensure they have adequate storage on top of a physical cartridge, which seems counter-intuitive. One reason that these newly-announced ports are so frustrating to see is because the costs saved by cutting corners for Bioshock and Borderlands are passed directly onto the consumer. They were the first to utilize a 32GB cartridge for this purpose, and this is how all developers should treat physical releases. It serves as the gold standard of ports for the Nintendo Switch with developer CD Projekt Red going above and beyond to provide not only an excellent port, but also putting everything onto one cartridge.

On the other end is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition. As Jason Schreier points out, Bioshock is packaged into a 16GB cartridge that contains only the opening acts of the games, with later content and add-ons needing to be downloaded Borderlands comes on a 8GB cartridge with a 6.6GB required for Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, and a whopping 35GB for Borderlands 2and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
