[dropcap]W[/dropcap]e reported yesterday that upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch require a lot of space to be installed. The exception was LEGO City Undercover, the only of the three games that is being released on a physical cartridge. Today some photos of the packaging has been released. The game surprisingly requires up to 13Gb physical storage, and an internet connection as well.

It is is possible that the cartridge that is being used for the game does not have enough free space for additional updates and content downloads. As we mentioned earlier, cartridges are more expensive the more storage they hold. Warner Brothers and LEGO City Undercover may have chosen a smaller cartridge in favor to keep the cost down, but the game may need additional updates that will be stored on the Nintendo Switch internal storage.

No official statement has been made about this. We will update this post as we have a more definite answer. You may take a look at the game box below. LEGO City Undercover is set to release on Nintendo Switch on April 4th 2017.

UPDATE: A spokesman from Warner Brothers, says that the packaging is wrong, and the cartridge contains the full game with no additional downloads needed to play. You can read the official statement below.

“The information is listed incorrectly on the packaging of LEGO City Undercover for Nintendo Switch. Players who purchase a physical copy of LEGO City Undercover on Nintendo Switch at retail are getting the complete game, and do not need to download additional content to enjoy the full experience. An internet connection is not required to play the game. The only internet connection suggested is to download the typical content update patch.”
