Alright, so imagine this—I was just goofing around online when I saw Nintendo’s got this whole pre-order thing going for the Switch 2. And get this, they’re already taking pre-orders for the games too! Naturally, my curious self had to dive into the “Game file size” details. I swear, those numbers were screaming at me—some are as hefty as PC files! I mean, really? Who would’ve thought?
Anyway, so apparently, this new Switch 2 is beefed up enough to play games in full-on 1080p glory, and quick too. Yet, here’s the kicker… just a couple of games, and bam! Your fancy 256 GB storage is maxed out. Wild, right? Just a few of these bad boys and you’re already over 300 GB. Guess what that means—you’re in the microSD Express territory now. Yippee…
I know, I know, it probably sounds absurd thinking about extra storage when you don’t even have the console yet. But hey, don’t shoot the messenger, aren’t we always planning ahead or pretending to be smart shoppers? Those microSD Express cards are, like, miles ahead in speed (and price) compared to what we’ve got lying around from the original Switch or even something like the Steam Deck. Oh, heads up! Your old cards won’t work with the Switch 2 unless you’re into reliving your past Nintendo achievements through screenshots. So, gotta think about an upgrade if you’re diving into this console adventure.
Anyway, who knows what’ll happen next—I’m bad at these predictions. Maybe they’ll drop a surprise storage upgrade, or… ah, scratch that. Just dreaming.
