Nintendo, console ($ 449.99), its release date (June 5, 2025), including new games (5, 2025), Nintendo, including many new key information (5, 2025), was a deep dive in Nintendo Direct 2. In addition, the transition 2 has been confirmed to match with MicroSD Express cards only 2TB cards are supported.
This means you can’t bring your old storage cards when you receive this summer console. To expand your warehouse, Sandis and Lexar need to check the cards related to the following with Gamestop listed in Amazon and producing their cards. This currently includes 128GB ($ 44.99), 256GB ($ 49.99), 512GB ($ 84.99) and 1TB versions ($ 149.99).
However, some are already cut in bulk and now listed in Amazon as “temporarily in reserve.” The target is also at the moment a Samsung 256GB MicroSD Express card listedBut inaccessible to purchase, from $ 59.99.
For reference, Nintendo Switch comes with 2,256GB internal storage – an important increase of 32GB of the original passage. This means you can’t feel the need to expand your warehouse. However, keep in mind that 2 games can be larger than the original console.
For example, one of the largest passage games, the Kingdom of the Kingdom was 16GB, but the 2nd version and games like Mario Card World can be more demanding.
Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition, For example, 64GB is preparing to take 25% of your internal memory. If the exact file sizes for other transitions 2 games are not confirmed, they are also safe to assume that they will consume a lot of storage. Unlike the original link that supports standard MicroSD, Microsdhc and Microsdxc cards, Switch 2 will only support MicroSD Express cards.
Why do MicroSD Express for 2 passages?
Nintendo is a great change with the storage expansion of the transition 2. So why? MicroSD Express cards are a great leap in portable memory technology. Traditional MicroSD cards, maximum in 104 MB / s using the UHS interface, MicroSD Express cards can use PCIE and NVME technology to score the speed of 985 MB / S-Well 10 times faster.
Due to this speed, 2 transitions will not support 2 ordinary MicroSD cards. If not an appropriate Express version means that you use the old passage of your memory card. This ensures that the system can manage a larger, more demanding game slowly.
But there is a big negative aspect: Very pricier. Comparative, a Your 128GB SD card to switch will cost $ 10-15as the same storage location Express card is about $ 45. Express MicroSD cards are not as large as standard microSDS and brands such as Sandisk, Lexar, Samsung are less than doing them.
This means that the transverse of Nintendon to MicroSD is only as protected from the future, but puts higher expenses for the expanding storage. See everything in Nintendo, Nintendo transition 2 to display 2 directly.
