Alright, so here’s the deal. Nintendo’s up to something — not that they ever really stop, right? They’re rolling out pre-orders for this Switch 2 thing, and oh boy, were my fingers twitching to check out the game file sizes. It’s like a weird habit, can you believe? I blame all those years of “Will it fit?” mental gymnastics. Anyway — wait, no — sidetracked already. The game sizes, man, they’re monstrous. Seriously, they remind me more of those PC games. You know, the kind you need a small hard drive empire to install. Or maybe that’s just in my head. Who knows.
And if I’m not mistaken, which is always a possibility, those sizes make sense cuz this new console flexes big muscles with 1080p and whatever tech mumbo-jumbo. But, uh-oh, here’s the thing — plop a few of those bad boys into your shiny new Switch 2, and bam, your 256 GB storage is crying for mercy. Like, real tears. Well, maybe not… I mean, electronics can’t cry. Or can they? Either way, here are some hefty file sizes coming your way:
(Before I forget, this whole ensemble stacks over 300 GB. Like, what? Time to dig into that savings account for some microSD Express card action.)
Yeah, it sounds bonkers, right? Snagging extra storage for a console that’s not even in your hands yet. But hey, who am I to judge? Go big or go home — that’s the saying, I think. Those microSD Express cards, they’re speedy little things, fast as a sneeze in a hurricane. But your wallet’s gonna feel it, trust me. Oh, and a note for nostalgia’s sake: those old microSD cards of yours? Keep them around for peeking at old Switch screenshots. Cuz, yeah, they’ll still do that. Kinda comforting, isn’t it?
