The biggest problem with Nintendo Switch 2 is really storage

Besides the original Switch games and promotions, the precious storage, Switch 2 also sees the addition of Gamecube addresses to the Retro Library available for Nintendo Switch online + subscribers to expansion package. Like classic games available for previous key devices such as NES, Sne or Game Boy, they are all packaged in one bomber, with each game installed in the set in the same time.

This is good for the Sne-by about 80 titles jammed in a 267MB package that is not chasing, which is interested if there is a handful that you will never play? But with only four titles are available at the present time (F-Zero, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Soulcalibur IIAnd Super Mario attackers), NSO GAMECUBE is already a 6 GB commitment. You can carry original Gamecube tablets than 1.5 GB, so you will see every addition that a launcher requires more space than ever, and each unwanted game can prevent you from installing something else you want to run. Although this only affects the NSO subscribers who use the Gamecube Library, the freedom to choose Gamecube games that are installed will be a great help.

MicroSD Express (256 GB)

The good news is that Switch 2 still allows users to expand storage via MicroSD cards. The problem has been solved – just a huge energy card shivering, right? not quite. Switch 2 only Support MicroSD Express Format cards. There is a good reason for this – the new standard provides much fastest reading and writing data, allowing games to download faster – but the base causes problems.

One is the cost. The cost of MicroSD Express cards per GB of storage from its predecessors. At the time of writing this report, Sandisk was 128 GB The card is $ 17While the 2 -compatible switch card with an Express format card $ 54 for the same storage amount3x installment. Another is the card capabilities. There is a handful of 1-Cards MicroSD Express on the market, but the supplies are disappeared, and astronomical prices. Although you can use multiple MicroSD cards technically with your control unit, Nintendo It is recommended against itSo switching several smaller cards around it is not an option either.

The most confused thing, SD Express format only indicates speed, not capacity, which has its own standards. Most of MicroSD cards that you likely buy, whether in rapid speed coordination, are “SD” or SDXC. This aspect can theoretically contain a maximum of 2 terabytes, although the largest legitimate card you likely find for sale is 1.5 TB.

However, in 2018, SD Association – Industry Authority that defines standards for SD memory cards –SD Ultra capacityOr SDUC. This supports the capabilities that reach 128 tricks, “regardless of the shape factor, either the exact or complete size, or the type of facade including (…) SD Express.” There are no SDUC cards in the market at all, so we are long away from being able to slap a card “up to 8 frames in your 2 switch and install everything you can dream of. In theory, though, this means you will definitely be able to do that one day?
