And while most of the file sizes announced will easily fit on the Nintendo Switch’s 32GB internal hard drive, 25GB with all the necessary system files installed, there are games like Dragon Quest Heroes I and II that will not. Even The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will take up around 13.4 GB of space, which should still easily leave around 10GB of space left over.

So what should you do if you want to play games like Dragon Quest Heroes I and II that require more space? Well, you will need to upgrade your Switch’s system storage with the previously announced Micro SDXC cards, which can increase memory up to 2TB on the console.

The full list announced by Nintendo can be found below:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (13.4 GB)
  •  Puyo Puyo Tetris (1.09 GB)
  •  I Am Setsuna (1.40 GB)
  •  Nobunaga’s Ambition (5 GB)
  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (7 GB)
  • Snipperclips (1.60 GB)
  • Dragon Quest Heroes I and II (32 GB)
