Okay, so, let’s talk about the Switch 2 for a second. I mean, before I dive into the nitty-gritty of game sizes and all that jazz — isn’t it kinda wild? We’ve got another round of everyone’s favorite hybrid console coming in hot. And guess what? 256GB of internal space is what you’re looking at with this beast. But, hold up, you know some of that’s already snagged by the system itself, right? Just like that person who always reserves the window seat on a plane. Ugh.
Anyway, here’s the funky thing (or maybe it’s just what every tech company does these days?): You’re gonna need some room for all those games you’ll be downloading. Like, it’s not even funny how quickly a couple of modern games with massive worlds and mind-blowing graphics can hog up the entire storage. Yup, that’s when you’ll start eyeing expandable storage like it’s the last slice of pizza.
So, Nintendo’s thrown a curveball — no more just any ol’ micrSD. Nope. It’s gotta be this speedy microSD Express now, for that quick reading and writing flair. As if regular was too slow for our speedy thumbs, right? Two brands are waving that “we got you covered” flag — Samsung and SanDisk. These guys are like the bouncers of your Switch 2 storage club. They’ve got the verified stamp saying, “yes, you can come in.”
You’re probably itching to know, how big are those game files exactly? Honestly, some of these are pretty hefty and, well — better take note if you’re eyeing that internal storage. So, let’s spill the beans on those launch titles, and warning, mind your storage.
Okay, let’s list some out. The likes of “Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster” come in at an almost modest 11GB, but then sigh, of course, there’s “Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition” at a beefy 59.7GB. It’s like, do I want two smaller games or just one massive one? Choices, right? And yikes, look at “Split Fiction” leading the pack with massive 73GB — oof.
And hey, for all you bargain hunters scoping out deals across the globe: Nintendo is saying you can snag the new Switch 2 for about $449.99 in the US, £395.99 in the UK, and €469.99 in Europe. I mean, given the shiny newness, that’s about what you’d guess, huh?
Anyway, mark your calendars for June 5, 2025, because that’s when it all goes down. Can’t wait to see how long it’ll take for everyone to realize they maxed out their storage on, like, three games and a couple of saved Pokémon clips.
