Nintendo NX first details revealed

The first details surrounding the upcoming Nintendo NX have been leaked.

32gb cartridges? So they want to limit developers more? Makes no sense, considering the WiiU basically died due to inferior hardware this generation. I'll wait for official confirmation, but if true I can't see this doing well.

I can. Great consoles and PC games were made in the past, none bigger than a few gigs. 32GB is more than enough, just check games like Just Cause 2 etc, etc. Lots of games that was way less than 32GB, that was awesome in both graphics and fun. A lot of compromises can be made towards graphics, without it losing awesomeness and fun. And it will still look great. Most games today, takes up a lot of space, because of UHD video and cosmetics.
Also, back then, there was no Vulkan (Everone knows that Nintendo, Valve, AMD, and Android all supports Vulkan). This could mean a lot of cross-platform games in the future. Or games being easily porting between Android, SteamOS and NX (won't see this from DX12 side).

I would just like to point out that Skyrim is just short of 6Gb.
Also a cart based system will mean lightning fast load times and very little tech malfunctions.

Im quite confident the NX is going to be awesome.

Im jusy saying that 32gb is enough to put big quality games on.

Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 2 etc etc. all fit to one xb360 disk.
