The Switch may be the most pleasant tech surprise of 2017, but although it has many excellent qualities, excessive storage space is not among them. And it looks like that will continue to be a problem if, as the Wall St Journal hears, Nintendo is delaying the production of 64-gigabyte cartridges.

Right now you can fit up to 32 gigabytes on a cart, which of course is usually plenty — but games with large amounts of content or high-resolution resources are already bumping up against that limit.
