Considering that the NS is future ready enough to handle 2TB cards when they eventually exist, I suspect it can handle and benefit from UHS-II cards. (Anything above 256GB with UHS-I would be unbearably slow after being mostly filled. Even 200-256GB is pushing it for being slow to load with UHS-I.) Add up to 1TB of storage to your Nintendo Switch in a matter of seconds, and rest easy knowing you have room for your favorite games. And of course you also have to add an external hard drive to your other consoles at some point, but those prices don't even begin to compare, so Switch owners are definitely at a big disadvantage here. BTW, I've been reading your posts waaaaaay too long as a lurker here. Twice today I actually typed "Nitneod"" NinNin Good to have that perspective of you being a developer, makes your point of view a little bit clearer, but to elaborate on it: I don't mean that developers should be forbidden to do things or told what to do (we'll leave that to the bigger publishers like EA) but more like both parties investing time AND some money in a better compromise, meet each other halfway, so to speak.
If you're ever thinking about being completely, utterly, and totally future-proofed in terms of your Switch's capacity then the Silicon Power 1TB Superior SD card is for you. Yes, the 1TB capacity will mean it is a larger investment by default to begin with but the sheer value here is ridiculous, and you'll literally never have to worry about storage space again. Pop this in and even the most storage conscious of future-proof worried among us will have their minds eased. And the customer is a much happier one as well, for getting a more complete product, and not having to continuously invest in larger SD cards, almost every time they buy another third party game, which in turn might even persuade quite a lot of them to start buying more third party games, finally eradicating the whole "not enough third party games on a Nintendo platform" problem... And the best part? Each microSDXC comes with an adorable design from a popular game franchise. Depending on which size you invest in, you can either get the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda, the Super Star or Mushroom from Mario, Animal Crossing’s iconic leaf logo, or even the Apex Legends sigil.Make sure it's at least 80mb/s read speed. That seems to be good and make use of the card slot's speed. too much more than 80mb/s, like 90+ is waste as the Switch can't make use of that extra speed. 80MB/s seems to be roughly the most it can handle before you get no more speed boosts from the even faster cards. You want something officially licensed: If you would rather have peace of mind then and officially licensed card could be a better choice. With the SanDisk microSDXC for Nintendo Switch, you’re able to keep your favorite digital games in one place so you’re ready for game time anytime.
As for Wii U games, what games? How many big AAA 3rd party games did it get? How big of a patch was Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash going to need, it's a tennis game w/ only 1 arena. Or Animal Crossing amiibo Festival, it's a board game. The Superior 1TB SD card also comes with an adapter so you're good to go with any kind of mobile device or laptop should you need to shift gears, and there's a five-year warranty so you can have peace of mind. Simple, massive stuff. They did say that the sound is higher quality on Switch than WiiU. I don't know if that just means that Switch has a better DSP, or if the actual sound samples are higher quality for botw. The audiophile in me winces when I hear 7.1....grumblegrumble. Overprocessed and necessary unless in a very large room. It's like 4k for a 26" TV you sit on the other side of the room from.Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. JaxonH Granted, that shpiel I went on mostly only applies if you go digital, or you're accessing hundreds of pictures/videos or music files like I do on the New 3DS. (Although a 3DS doesn't really benefit much from 95 MB/s instead of 40 MB/s or something...) And even then, it mostly only matters for large open world games. If you're reading off of the NS game card, the SD card type probably won't matter much at all. So if you're going mostly or all physical, getting the best value with the most memory should be the best way to go. So I guarantee you it's the same way. It doesn't "turn it off", it never did. You simply choose where your default install location is, and move to the other if/when desired The average size for a first party Nintendo title is around 6.7GB. Are official Nintendo Switch SD cards worth it? The 32 GB version SanDisk Extreme, 32 GB version of SanDisk Extreme as well as the 16 GB and 32 GB versions of the SanDisk Ultra use microSDHC as the form factor.
everything is beta" Yep, that about sums up modern gaming at least 3rd party gaming (increasingly nintendo too, but not quite there yet.) Up to 100MB/s read speed; up to 90MB/s write speed. 64GB: Up to 100MB/s read speed; up to 60MB/s write speed. Based on internal testing; performance may be lower depending upon host device interface, usage conditions, and other factors. 1MB = 1,000,000 bytes. How would you handle Lego Dimensions? Is Nintnedo not supposed to let a game like that release if the 2nd year there isn't a new game, only new content? Destiny is up to it's 3rd yearly DLC thing. The first 2 were on both PS3 and PS4, the 3rd one is only on PS4, they compeltely dropped PS3 from getting an update to a game people already own. Doom is constantly getting updates, but only on the PS4 version, not PS3. The whole industry has gone bonkers. But I don't think Nitndo making Switch the new PS3 that only gets the original game, not the updates, is really the way to go.As far as Nintendo Switch performance is concerned, games ran just fine when installed to the microSDXC card as opposed to the internal storage. While I’ve tried to find the exact read/write speeds of the Nintendo Switch’s internal storage, I’ve come up empty-handed. That being said, neither myself nor my son noticed any discernable difference in game load speed or playability when installed to the microSDXC card. Of course, you don’t have to use it just in the Nintendo Switch but can also use it in other devices with microSDXC card support like cameras or smartphones. Price/Value 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.
Great Deal
