About this deal

However, while this does work on Nintendo Switch, it’s not specifically designed for it. This means there’s potential for compatibility issues; many users report the card works fine, but some have experienced less-than-optimal performance. How to choose the best Nintendo Switch microSD for you Mostly found online there's a superior yet card but the price tag is a nightmare in comparison from Patriot and Kingston but they're so very not worth it. You want something officially licensed: If you would rather have peace of mind then and officially licensed card could be a better choice. everything is beta" Yep, that about sums up modern gaming at least 3rd party gaming (increasingly nintendo too, but not quite there yet.) Where it concerns Sandisk's Nintendo Switch-specific Micro SD card line, the potential profit (if any) they can make on that only a small percentage of every card sold (as in 5 to 10), and they only come in two flavors capacity-wise, AND they are more expensive than Sandisk's regular Micro SD cards in the same sizes, so guess which ones will sell better? Talk about niche...

Spend less time waiting and more time playing with read speeds up to 100MB/s and write speeds up to 90MB/s (write speeds up to 60MB/s on 64GB card) I'll DL a few gig, but 4, MAYBE 5 is my absolute limit on a patch. More than that I'll play single player without patching. If it crashes, that's a trash game right there. The average size for a first party Nintendo title is around 6.7GB. Are official Nintendo Switch SD cards worth it? How would you handle Lego Dimensions? Is Nintnedo not supposed to let a game like that release if the 2nd year there isn't a new game, only new content? Destiny is up to it's 3rd yearly DLC thing. The first 2 were on both PS3 and PS4, the 3rd one is only on PS4, they compeltely dropped PS3 from getting an update to a game people already own. Doom is constantly getting updates, but only on the PS4 version, not PS3. The whole industry has gone bonkers. But I don't think Nitndo making Switch the new PS3 that only gets the original game, not the updates, is really the way to go.The other recommend specification is the read/transfer speed as Nintendo suggests the specs to be at least 60 MB per second. You will get a better gameplay experience, such as better load times, with higher read speeds. I think if the Switch only came w/ 4GB like the 3DS, then by all means turn it off, 2GB of that would probably be OS anyway, leaving you w/ 2GB, and you'd find yourself in a horrific PS Vita situation, but I think 32GB is enough that I wouldn't want it to go to waste if I had an old 32GB card from my phone laying around that I could use until prices dropped on larger models. Considering that the NS is future ready enough to handle 2TB cards when they eventually exist, I suspect it can handle and benefit from UHS-II cards. (Anything above 256GB with UHS-I would be unbearably slow after being mostly filled. Even 200-256GB is pushing it for being slow to load with UHS-I.) And of course you also have to add an external hard drive to your other consoles at some point, but those prices don't even begin to compare, so Switch owners are definitely at a big disadvantage here. We'd recommend a 128GB SD card for most users; this will give you enough room for about 15-18 Nintendo Switch games on your console, but it's worth noting that smaller indie titles will take up far less space. If you're going to be playing mostly with physical games, and you don't envision yourself buying too many larger titles from the eShop, you should be able to get by on 64GB. However, if you're going all-digital, a 256GB card will see you through around 35 full sized games. How big are Nintendo Switch games?

If someone is just brand loyal though the Sandisk Ultra and UltraPro are solid choices too. But the runner up went to that very Lexar 633x card you put into your story. You keep bringing up points that are either almost completely false, or at the very least partially flawed/slanted. You'd have to do far better than that to be able to convince me of anything. That fact is not in any way diminished or disturbed by current game sizes or zero-day patches/updates that developers are all too willing to ram down our throats nowadays. With discs, you can only do this with re-writable media, which is of course never used in consoles. And even if it is, then it will only be used by developers, for testing purposes.So, is this ADDED to the internal 32GB, or does it turn it off like on Wii U? (I'm pretty sure my 12GB PS3 Superslim turned off the 12GB when I installed an 80GB drive in there as well.) We all know of the troubles with Wii U storage. So, if you buy a 64GB card, do you then have 96GB or only 64GB? A 64GB card might be enough for awhile if they work together, but not if 32GB gets turned off like on Wii U. Such a pain that was. Seen in the right perspective and percentage-wise though, these games are doing VERY well on Switch, and as I already said, they are also very well received, both by gamers and professional gaming media, so that speaks volumes.
