SanDisk 512GB microSDXC UHS-I card for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo licensed Product

Product Information

Add 512GB of storage to your Nintendo Switch in a matter of seconds, and rest easy knowing you have room for your favorite 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 want something officially licensed: If you would rather have peace of mind then and officially licensed card could be a better choice.

Until the NS releases, only Nintendo knows the read speeds of the NS game cards. We should have some comparisons to SD read speeds within a few months of release. I suspect both of them will blow those PS4 and XBone HDD read speeds out of the water.The Nintendo Switch may well be getting on a bit now in terms of being a generation-old console, but the fact is that it's been a smash hit for Nintendo. Despite all its successes though, its internal storage simply isn't big enough in 2023 - the 25.9GB of accessible space isn't enough to keep multiple games, and to make matters worse, sometimes you can't fit games onto it at all - we're looking at you, NBA 2K19. As for Wii U games, what games? How many big AAA 3rd party games did it get? How big of a patch was Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash going to need, it's a tennis game w/ only 1 arena. Or Animal Crossing amiibo Festival, it's a board game. With the SanDisk microSDXC for Nintendo Switch, you’re able to keep your favorite digital games in one place so you’re ready for game time anytime.

So I guarantee you it's the same way. It doesn't "turn it off", it never did. You simply choose where your default install location is, and move to the other if/when desired Glad I'm waiting until Christmas, I predict at least 3 firmware updates that make improvements by then. Though it does look god so far, much better than 3DS or Wii U at launch. I just need time to wrap my head around the whole hybrid idea and how that's going to work w/ myself and 2 teenage sons. 3DS is easy, they each have their own, Wii U, PS4 are mine, Wii is in my sons room w/ his NES Mini and my old Atari 7800. Not sure what to do w/ a hybrid and 3 gamers. 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. Note: These tests were performed before Nintendo added a so-called 'boost mode' to Breath of the Wild, which pushes the Switch's processor to its limits to speed up the loading process when you first enter a game or move to a new area. However, the hierarchy of different storage methods remains the same. MsgBoardGamer How exactly is it niche? More and more gamers are buying a Switch, it truly seems to be Nintendo returning to form, and for a lot of these people, a Nintendo console is their ONLY platform, so getting the game on a "superior" system isn't even an option.All of the SD cards mentioned on this list are compatible with the Switch. Sandisk is the only manufacturer creating micro SD cards which have been specifically optimized for the console, though anything that meets the following criteria will work:

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. Up to 100MB/s read speed; up to 90MB/s write speed. 64GB: Up to 100MB/s read speed; up to 60MB/s write speed. Based on internal testing; performance may be lower depending upon host device interface, usage conditions, and other factors. 1MB = 1,000,000 bytes. I have all my VC games (aside from Wii) on my internal 32gb storage and everything else on my hard drive.DLC for MK, Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade etc, file size wise were never terribly huge. That might really be the difference, and I hope it is, that Sony pushes every updated archive file while Nintendo pushes only the delta to save bandwidth. Shame on Sony if that's the case. I do know that I use 512gb SD on Wii U for GC/Wii games and 200gb on 3DS and have never noticed any issues in games (or otherwise, despite potential scenarios others warned against). The only thing I've ever noticed is on the 3DS, now that I have like 180gb used of the 235gb available after formatting, sometimes it takes an extra second for all the menu icons to load. NinNin Good to have that perspective of you being a developer, makes your point of view a little bit clearer, but to elaborate on it: I don't mean that developers should be forbidden to do things or told what to do (we'll leave that to the bigger publishers like EA) but more like both parties investing time AND some money in a better compromise, meet each other halfway, so to speak. cleveland124 If you're talking about cards, sure, but we're talking about flash memory chips, perhaps NAND flash chips, and we can't be sure on that until we get a teardown going after launch. NAND and other flash chip memory is much more expensive than SD flash memory. Even with manufacturing costs being low, they are typically sold higher corresponding to the higher memory size, especially when it's not removable. And if those games would be the problems, then they wouldn't be as welcomed as they are, and they are also selling quite nicely, so that's sorely missing what's really going on there. And of course it's also true that a certain amount of people would buy the Xbox or Playstation versions if they also had one of these consoles, but other people actually like being able to take that same game with them on the Switch, and they are willing to accept having that game in a lower fidelity to get that advantage.
