So how much storage space would it take to store every Nintendo video game (from the stable of their major consoles) that can be emulated?
Don’t worry about trying to work out the answer, as Reddit user, RHYTHM_GMZ, has already done all the hard work for us.
You’ll need roughly 7.53TB (yep, that’s TERABYTES!) of space to be able to emulate every darn Nintendo video game! With the Wii making up 6.56TB of the 7.53TB total, you may want to know the breakdown of the rest of the Nintendo game libraries, so here you go:
- NES – 237 MB
- SNES – 1.7GB
- N64 – 5.5GB
- GB/GBC – 568MB
- GBA – 8.4GB
- NDS – 83.2GB
- GameCube – 867GB
- Wii – 6.56TB
For those of you that prefer to visualise these figures, we have you covered – see below!
