The Nintendo Switch 2 and all things that orbit the console are among the hottest holiday gifts this year. Consider us surprised to not just see the $499 Mario Kart World bundle selling for $50 off at Walmart and many great Switch 2 accessories discounted during Cyber Monday, but also to see a Samsung 256GB microSD Express card selling at 35 percent off at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart.
The Switch 2 itself has 256GB of storage, which is enough for a relatively wide range of games, depending on their file sizes. And most Nintendo-published titles are under 20GB in size. But some third-party titles are dozens of gigabytes each. So even if you don’t need to double your console’s storage just yet, I can’t envision that most people will regret paying $40 for the assurance of having enough room for their next favorite game(s).
Hey, if you already know you want to increase your Switch 2’s storage and you’re worried that even 256GB may not be enough, Samsung has another microSD Express card model — the P9 — that’s $74.99 for 512GB at Amazon. It’s currently the best price available.
