If after formatting the microSD card, it cannot be detected, the microSD card will need to be replaced. I just can't imagine an Assassin's Creed Unity situation on the Switch, where almost half of the game was replaced by a day one patch, which is of course one of the more ridiculous examples, but I'm sure you get the point. And it doesn't surprise me Zelda BotW is only 13GB (OK it does a little), it's a Wii U game built around what looks like a mostly empty world. It's a port of a Wii U game on the Switch. And I always look at sound for file sizes. Looks like it will have a lot of spoken languages, that's great, Nintendo must have some serious compression going on there, but will it have 7.1 sound? ATMOS? Will there be any FMV cut scenes? It's a beautful world which will look and sound great, but they've probably taken some shortcuts to work w/ their compression technology.

SanDisk microSDXC Card for Nintendo Switch - 256GB

polivar4 I was incredibly disappointed that the Wii U never got one. I'm not getting my hopes up, but if Nintendo announces a new AC title at E3 for Nintendo Switch, I'll be thrilled.The Nintendo Switch may well be getting on a bit now in terms of being a generation-old console, but the fact is that it's been a smash hit for Nintendo. Despite all its successes though, its internal storage simply isn't big enough in 2023 - the 25.9GB of accessible space isn't enough to keep multiple games, and to make matters worse, sometimes you can't fit games onto it at all - we're looking at you, NBA 2K19.

Nice list but that price jump for marginally more between the 256 and 400 is kind of a joke, but that's how it goes with the newest/biggest. JaxonH"The only device on the market that offers something close to what you describe is Xbox One, and even it will not let you choose where to install on the spot."Yes, most Switch games, including Nintendo exclusives, are between 9GB and 18GB. Some exceptions reach 54GB and 32GB, but these are rare. Memory might be one of those items that'll fall either in the middle or closer to that 50%. When millions of pieces are bought, the profit for the manufacturer will still be there regardless. I usually just archive the games I beat, but my SD card and hard drive are near maximum, and as this has happened, a couple of the games I haven't played in a while display a little cloud icon when I hover over them ... is the Switch auto-storing these games in the cloud?

It’s crazy if they think the majority would pay for that, hell its more then close to double the cost of the system. But it will drastically come down eventually because they won’t get as many buyers. And I did say "if you stop and think about it OBJECTIVELY". Filling in what you think other people might do or are doing, isn't objective, that's subjective.That's not unfair to point out at all, that's how these tech companies operate. Higher memory devices are usually the most cost efficient from manufacture to sale, from a manufacturer's perspective, compared to lower memory devices. It translates into bigger ripoffs from the customer's perspective, so the company has to figure out ways to get customers to accept and buy into it. Thus, it's a good thing Nintendo kept the flash chip costs and size low, to allow customers to bring onboard as much value effectiveness as they want from microSD cards. micro sd card? this is new to me! but seriously i don't really need that much space because i will be buying all physical and i have plenty of micro sd cards lying around which includes a 128gb one so i'm good really. Spoony_Tech Well, theres a silver lining here. Thankfully, you don't have to install the retail games, which is why even a terrabyte is barely enough for my PS4 games. And you can use the SD card(s) you already own. I already have 2, 128GB cards. That will suffice for 2017. Games like Fifa, NBA, WWE and whatever other sports games will come to the Switch (I suspect an American Football game to be in the works also) are highly popular, and once again: are only playable in portable mode on a Switch, so that is something not to be so easily dismissed, regardless of whether or not you can play a prettier looking version on the Xbox or Playstation (or PC). Koudai1979 Yea you will def need a sd card for Switch but sounds like you won't need the bigger sized (more expensive) ones.
