Rockstar decided to save some cash and ship on a smaller memory cartridge, and then push the cost of buying more memory onto you, the consumer. This would've meant any and all worries the gamer has would be eliminated as literally everything this patch and full game requires could've fit on the cartridge. Prior to shipping the game, Rockstar had the option to ship this game in a 32GB cartridge. We will touch on Nintendo's underlying problem here shortly, but there's something that needs to be addressed. Additionally, if you buy the cartridge version of the game you'll be forced to download a 14GB patch before you download. While the Switch boasts 32GB storage, 6GB's of that is allocated to the system hardware so there's no way this game fits on the Switch without an upgrade. The digital version of LA Noire clocks in at 29GB's which means if you haven't upgraded the memory of your Nintendo Switch, you're going to need to.
