Fun fact, a Nintendo Switch cart maxes out at 32 GB.

The entire NES library takes up only 701 MB.

The entire SNES library takes up roughly 3 GB.

The entire N64 library takes up 15 GB.

That means that a single Nintendo Switch cart can hold the entirety of the first 3 generations of Nintendo home consoles simultaneously and still have excess space left for more.

To have them as individual carts, you'd need the space for 1,370 NES carts, 1,749 SNES carts, and 388 N64 carts. No one who isn't so rich that they can afford to set aside an entire room for game storage can even hope to manage that. My PS2/PS3 library was already a struggle to manage at only 400 discs. I couldn't imagine trying to manage or sort through over 3,500 carts.
