You know how Nintendo just kicked off pre-orders for the Switch 2 games? Yeah, along with the console itself. So naturally, I found myself diving into the “Game file size” section like it was some kind of top-secret document. It’s this weird little habit, like checking the fridge even when you’re not hungry. Anyway, some of those game sizes? Huge. Seriously, they’re threatening to take over your digital life, like those Windows PC games that eat up space like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.
I mean, sure, the Switch 2’s got the horsepower for running games in 1080p, maybe more if it’s having a good day. But here’s the kicker: you pop in a few of these bad boys, and boom, you’re out of storage. The built-in 256 GB is going to vanish faster than cookies at a bake sale. Just take a look at the sizes of some upcoming titles — they’re ready to dominate your memory in no time.
Smash all those together, and you’re looking at over 300 GB. Yeah, you’re gonna need a microSD Express card, pronto.
Ironic, isn’t it? Buying extra storage for a console you haven’t even got your hands on yet. But hey, grabbing the biggest microSD Express card within your budget is probably the smart move here. They’re like the sports cars of memory cards — fast and expensive. Kind of makes you miss the old microSDs, huh? But forget about using those old timers with the Switch 2 — unless you’re just reminiscing over some screenshots or old video clips from your original Switch adventures.
