I'm not sure if there is really a correlation between frame rate vs content in terms of why these decisions are made.

There could be some fancy GPU decompression going on, but the chances of that happening are pretty small I would say.
Yeah that's pretty bad, wonder the reasons.

I thought this game is available today in the eshop?

No, that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
It does if that's how big the saves can get. Saves are on internal storage only.
Oh wow, I didn't know they already changed the cover to reflect Kyrie's new team.
And this has amiibo support as well? I'm super interested in that. LeBron amiibo on the way?

I better start deleting pics of my system just to be safe.
Yeah, its not in the eShop yet for US either.
Nintendo UK says the download will be available on 9/15, physical on 10/17.

The pic is from Nintendo France but the UK page says the same. Funny how they change between date formats for digital and physical.
Well, yeah that was easier than I thought. Got my eShop points instantly whereas buying Splatoon and MK8D took forever and Arms got declined. Nice. Taking my Switch home to download the rest so I can get started when I get off work!

I hope so. My first NBA 2K since forever.
Please let us know once you know what the deal is with storage. SD Card usage I can handle, but if it uses 6GB of internal, that's going to be a problem for this and other games in the future.
From what i understand, they are saying that the download size is 22GB, but it will occupy around 28GB, that's why they are saying that you'll need these additional 6GB in main memory, as far as i know, when you use a SD card it's recognized as the main memory of the system (it's different from internal memory).

6GB for saves? Come on, main memory = wherever you have the game installed. If you have an SD Card, that's your main memory.
I think 22.9 gb is the base game, the 6 gb or more is what you need for saves
Your statement makes no sense at all, Pax footage were people playing the game on Switch units, so how can some video from the direct look worst? It could be compressed video, old build who knows where Nintendo got that footage from.
its probably the stupid reserved memory bullshit......they do 50GB on the consoles and an extra 4GB of reserved memory that doesn't even include your save. It's supposed to help loading times, but 2K has the worst out of any sports game.
Then thats on Nintendo for not allowing us to move saves to SD cards, has nothing to do with 2K, most game saves dont get that big like that anyways
Looking forward to your screenshots.My download is sitting at 0% but, as of right now, storage management is showing 22.9GB allocated for 2K18 on my SD card and "---" on the main system memory.

is this the US? Did they unlock it early on the switch?

Here we go.
It's available on the Japanese eshop if you want to grab some yen to buy it. Should be the same as the NA version.
Japanese eshop, I think.
Looking forward to your screenshots.
I'll be back home around 5:30 cst so I'd be happy to take some screens if there's not a bunch out by that point.
Also this is correct.
I bought eShop money codes from amazon.jp and bought on the Japanese eShop. It says it has English in the product details.

Are there any comparison videos out for this version?

You need to have Paypal for that region in order to use it.
It specifies English on the Japanese eshop page. It's probably the exact same version. I have bought stuff off the Japanese eshop and if it specifies English it will have it.
I think the first bit of direct feed footage we saw of the Switch version was yesterday.
No worries. Take your time. Just be sure to take some screens of The Big Baller. 👍
K, game 1 is Thunder v Lakers then

Nice can't wait.
I hear that the saves of previous versions are very large, so I dunno. The problem is that the way it's worded is ambiguous. Is that wording a translation of what's in the Japanese eShop? That would explain it. Main memory to me says internal. You only have internal and SD card. Of the two, main memory would have to mean internal.
Hopefully this will be cleared up soon. I hope you're right.
Agreed.
Let's not forget, Minecraft uses 2gb internal. I know it's not the same, and if 2K really can use up to 6gb, that's some pretty shoddy work.

You should probably refrain from using that term.

Tomorrow. Not sure if it will be midnight or mid-day though.
New footage available from someone with the game, I love what I see: https://youtu.be/9Mlmx6OuILs
He changes the camera settings after few seconds and I wondered what's the favorite way to play NBA2K: with an horizontal or vertical view?

Horizontal for basketball. Vertical for hockey.
Edit: This looks hot. The wait will be long.
Court side/Broadcast are my fav. Never like the 2k cam.

Looks amazing. Just a couple of hours more.
True
Such a big game on a portable device is NUTS.
GREAT job 2K
