Apparently, Nintendo is going to have their 3DS games range from 1GB to 8GB, unlike the DS where their max was 512MB. In my opinion, this is probably going to cost more since it's more memory, so Nintendo better make games that are worthy to possess that much memory. I'm not going to spend money on games that are mediocre or just plain short. I'm just saying they better use the full extent of having that much memory to use.

What are your thoughts?

Better hope the Nintendo 3DS will have the capacity of around 50GBs to say the least(or more).

Let's say, approximately 4-5GBs worth of one video game would be fair enough for the size of 50GBs, granted you don't play too much games on the system when it gets released. But if they were to range at average around 7-8GBs in size I'd say a capacity of 50GBs might be a bit too meek for such sizes. 70GBs would be more subtle for such sizes, I suppose.

But I'm just making things up here. We won't know for sure until the Nintendo 3DS hits the shelves.

Just hope the game files aren't TOO large for the systems memory.

Some sort of little device(such as a memory stick or SD Card)would be keen in giving the system more memory if you run out.

The games are going to be on carts; I don't think they'd pull a Sony and make it downloadable, but who knows? =P Hopefully Nintendo doesn't screw anything up with it; I'm looking forward to the games.

Sounds pretty neat. I do hope all that capacity helps developers get the most out of the system.

Just so you guys know the 3DS will start with up to 2GB cartridges but as it becomes cheaper to produce it will go up to 8GB games so don't expect early releases to be huge 8GB games.

The launch titles are usually just the topping of the cake.

Wait a while until you see some huge releases.
