Taiwan's storage product manufacturer Macronix has long produced game cartridges for Nintendo consoles.In the latest financial report, the company revealed that its ROM products are mainly used in Switch2 and Switch gaming cassettes, and plans to use self-developed MLC NAND and purchased 3D NAND technology to produce cassettes according to capacity needs.
This statement may indicate that the Switch2 game cassette will usher in more storage specifications.Currently, the Switch2 cassette only provides a single 64GB capacity and is expensive, which has led many third-party manufacturers to choose the game key fob solution.
The financial report clearly states that Wanghong will meet the different capacity needs of Switch game cartridges through a combination of self-developed MLC NAND and outsourced 3D NAND technology.Although the original text specifically refers to the Switch platform, the industry generally believes that Switch2 must be the focus of this technology deployment.
The statement can be interpreted as the Switch2 cassette will soon launch a differentiated storage solution - it is possible to launch small-capacity low-cost cassettes, or to develop higher-capacity versions for large games (of course, with price fluctuations).However, the specific specifications are still in the speculation stage, and the detailed information needs to be further verified.
