Nintendo Switch: Players Can Upgrade To 2TB Storage With SD Card

4.5
Now that the Nintendo Switch release date and price have been revealed, we’re learning a ton of information about it, almost every hour. Among the tidbits we learned most recently is that if users want to store a ton of games on the console, they’ll be able to do so, though not out of the box.

Instead, users will be able to get a 2TB SD Card. Game Reactor Spain learned about the ability to upgrade the memory using these cards, which reminds gamers of the way they can upgrade the Nintendo 3DS’s memory.

The PS4 and Xbox One are just starting to offer the ability to have that kind of storage, so it’s clear Nintendo has been thinking about ways it can become competitive in this market. With pre-orders now available at stores like Walmart, we’ll soon see whether these features are going to drive big-time sales.

Most companies, if any do not make a 2TB sd card. The highest capacity that Amazon has in stock is 256GB and those sale anywhere from 200-250$ according to Samsung's website.

If you take in to consideration that a current gen AAA title takes 50GB+ that means that you can only load 1 big game, or a few small games onto a 64GB sd card (which costs around 20$), you start adding up costs really fast just to store games. That doesn't even include the performance hit that you take from running a game on an SD card.

I like the idea of being able to have 2TB, but would it even be worth buying such a big card?

TaylorPosted:

Don't see anybody needing 2TB for this console. Doubt many people will own more than 10 games for it.

JastyPosted:

That is impressive for a SD Card, I wish they would be shipping the console with more then 32GB though.

Although it also depends on the price of these cards.

This is a major step up on their part I am glad they have added this

TelePosted:

This is good as most consoles don't allow this.

Nicholas 2TB of wasted console. Why even bother.


They bother because some people actually play games on these types of things.
