Users wanting extra storage for Nintendo Switch 2 will need deep pockets, as new microSD Express cards are expensive compared to SSDs.
The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a hidden HDR setting that improves the console's visual quality, according to a report.
"According to a report" they act as if this isn't in the literal first setup of the console.
It's not hidden. It's right there.
The Nintendo Switch 2 GameShare feature for online multiplayer is a terrible experience, especially in the rapid racing game Fast Fusion.
Of course. They were always the worst when it came to this stuff. Why would they change it? They are breaking sales records.
"Welcome Tour is a calming, surprisingly engaging hardware exhibition with a handful of cool minigames, a trove of interesting info, and some neat demos that showcase exactly what the little system can do. It makes you feel good about buying the thing, which makes the platform holder's decision not to bundle it with the console utterly baffling. Featuring expensive add-ons you might not own also won't impress anyone who's indignant that the company wants another 10 bucks for this.
That aside, it's an undeniably fine demonstration of Nintendo's thoughtful design approach. It's cute, it's fun, and it's a shame the whole pack-in argument overshadows the delightful software. Anyone interested in tech, design, or Nintendo in general should check it out immediately." - Gavin Lane | NintendoLife
yeah but these cards will drop in price fast.
i went looking and all i could find on amazon were 256gb cards for $60. I'd want at least a 512gb as that is what i have in my current switch.
I kind of wish they had two slots one for older SD games allowing us to store switch 1 data or like ps5 hold switch 2 games when you don't want them installed. And another active switch 2 card given the biggest card I've found is 256gb.
The big question is what will game sizes be will they continue to be small like the switch 1 game install sizes range from 3 GB to 30 GB I have a 1tb card on mine that has barely been touched.
But if games balloon to 120 GBs for cod as a example it'll be painful to live with 256gb internal storage and a 256gb SD
Oof, can't even use your larger switch 1 SD cards for all those older titles. Most people will settle for a lower capacity newer card.
Baffles me why they've gone this route instead of an SSD. The console was already vastly underpowered in 2025 for the price. Only offering 256GB storage which is nothing so everyone's going to need to buy these super expensive cards. Even a 1TB SSD would have likely cost under $40 and made the console seem more value.
