What card size does Xenoblade Chronicles 3D use, 4 GB? I remember XC3D EU New Nintendo 3DS including a physical game, which was rather unusual since Nintendo moved on to preinstallation years ago.

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
Yeah, Xenoblade 3D, Resident Evil Revelations, and the upcoming Dragon Quest VIII are three of the few 4 GB cards.

Next week, I can already feel it. Announcement on Monday, Live Event Friday or Thursday. Believe.
What about DQ VII?
There definitely is a difference, especially over mp3. FLAC and other HD lossless are the way to go for HD music on-the-go.
Based on the normal distance between Nintendo Direct announcements and presentations, I assume that we'll get the video somewhere between ten hours before and twenty four hours after we hear about it.
Isn't the 3DS version of MGS3 also on one of them? I also remember hearing that Bravely Default/Second used them, but I'm not sure if that's true.

I'm excited for carts!
I know they'll be more like 3ds games than SNES for example, but still! Never liked CDs much.
Now if they could make it so that patches and updates were written to the cart itself instead of the system, NX could bring immortality and timelessness back to their systems.

DQVII's download is apparently roughly 1.4GB in size. Not having a dub goes a long way in keeping file sizes small.
Nintendo, listen to this man.

Never thought about it and now I can't imagine it in another way.
There's a rumour that CDs have more warmth than cartridges.

Nintendo's FY 2016 Second Quarter Earnings Release is scheduled for October 26, 2016, with Corporate Management Policy Briefing/Second Quarter Financial Results Briefing tentatively scheduled for October 27, 2016. Likely there could be a news conference on October 26 as well.
I would be very surprised if Nintendo won't at least prior to these events announce when NX will be revealed. A September reveal seems to me fine, it would give Nintendo a decent amount of time to market the system before release, and they would also not miss Black Friday and important pre-order business (with official marketing).

The even show a hint in the ndirect
Reggie...does not look happy lol
You know, I suspected this move for a long time. Nintendo has been doing what ever it can to avoid blu-ray/DVD's for a few years now and the NX from the start sounded more like a portable device, at least at first.
Let's be blunt, the only company that would make anything had Nintendo gone with a disk format was Sony. Most of blu-ray's and DVD's patents belong to the competitor (or consortium's that list Sony as a key member), and the licensing fees are pretty bad especially for blu-ray. This gives Nintendo a format to call it's own, it would be a their process since they more or less own it, it's a proven tech that they have been using since the DS, and does have some rather token resistance against pirates (through I doubt it would last and there are likely other measures in place).
Cart's would be a rather sensible choice, so long as read times and space isn't much of an issue.

The samsung media format? They have a ways to got before it hits critical mass. And for the moment, I can't see samsung using the format all that much even in it's own products.
You know, that being a thing again would be rather cool.
Lately, I have not really caught a glimpse of the man without this rather serious glare on him.
I posted because of "Tegra" showing on the device in the back, but i think you have noticed it =)
September 15th. Two weeks from the 3DS Direct. Before TGS... and where the NX version of NieR: Automata is announced? Refers to "next big announcement" right after mentioning the Steam platform announcement, "around the time of TGS". Reaching much? Probably a release date announcement.
Oh snap, Tegra hahaThey even show a hint in the ndirect

I'd bet on around September 15th sure. Latest would be AFTER TGS.

This is actually a great guess
Fairly sure they already said they have no plans for a NX version.

Reaching far too much. You shouldn't expect much from SE except with Dragon Quest on Nintendo's platforms.

Why? Square put a lot more on 3DS than just DQ.
If this is Nintendo's next portable device I think it would be in square's best interest to support it.
They have no plans because the NX version is already done.
I think I remember hearing the reverse sentiment when discs started taking over. To each their own but I always felt like I had to be so careful with discs and not smudge/scratch the data side. Cartridges can be tossed around or left lose in a box.

The only thing I'll truly miss is the buttery smooth side of Wii U discs... mmmm that's good.

I disagree, it'll be less like a gold brick and more like a precious jewel <3

Breath of the Wild doesn't need a gold cart
it has like SEVEN amiibos + the smash series

I'm hoping for final fantasy games in the future, kingdom hearts as well. These are games that have seen light on nintendo consoles in the past.
Dear God, you've cracked the code.
There's more 4GB 3DS games that people are generally aware of. I also doubt they're really that expensive anymore given how niche some of the titles are.

As for NX topping out as 32GB, no cart/card based Nintendo platform in history has launched with it max rom size available day one. I doubt NX will break that trend.

The thing about this possibility would be that either the invitations to the press event have their own crazy NDAs or that it's going to be a Direct. I'm beginning to think it's just going to be a Direct, so I could see the 13th happening, but if there's press involved, I think we shouldn't expect anything earlier than the week following TGS.

Probably because all of them are expected to be fully inserted in their various consoles and depending on how you achieve the "gold" look, you could end up with it flaking off and looking uglier over time with regular insertion/removal. The golden labels are certainly a nice homage to it, though.
Pretty much all recent (ie, within the last few years) directs with substantial announcements in them had simultaneous hands-on press events.

They're not going to show the system without hands-on impressions.
