Nintendo’s rolling out pre-orders for the Switch 2 games, and suddenly, I’m diving into this little rabbit hole. First stop? Yeah, the “Game file size” info — because, why not? Weirdly drawn to it, honestly. Some of these game sizes are like whoa — seriously, more like a bloated PC game than our beloved, tiny Switch ones. No clue why I care, but it’s stuck in my brain now.
Makes total sense, I guess, since this new console beast tackles 1080p like it’s nothing. Yet, ugh, just a couple of hefty games and bam, that 256 GB storage is toast. Check this out: the upcoming titles’ file sizes are through the roof!
Now, we’re talking over 300 GB together. So, looks like we’re all headed to microSD Express card-ville. Truth be told, it feels a bit bonkers to snag extra storage for a console you haven’t even unboxed yet. But go ahead—splurge on the BIGGEST microSD Express card you can swing. Speedy little devils, pricier than your average Steam Deck stuff. And yeah, don’t bother dusting off those old microSD cards. They won’t fit in this newfangled thing, except maybe for sneak peeks at old screenshots or vids. Isn’t that just dandy?
