How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I'd say, if you can afford it, bypass any smaller SD cards and jump to this one or something of a higher size. If you plan on buying lots of digital games on switch, this is definitely a must.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I'll admit, I prefer my games on cartridge. But, this is a great addition, as you do still need to download games to the system to save progress. Your system fills up quickly. Get this card to save you from needing to get a bigger card in the future.

bought for switch
|Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5bought this for the Nintendo switch and they never came back in stock, so i ended up using it in another device and it works great. my device i use it in only recommends a 64gb card but this does seem to work well still. the price point i bought it at was good, but now they sell for $99 which is a bit much IMO when you can buy one with double the gb for a few bucks more

You can never have too much storage!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5You will eventually run into a storage problem with the more games you purchase and play. Your game save files are precious do not wait until you have to be faced with the dilemma of choosing which file to delete. I bought this as a deal of the day. It was a great deal! I had to watch a YouTube video to assist me with transferring data from the old card to this new one. Overall the process to transfer that data wasn’t too difficult. It was well worth the time and effort.

You absolutely need this!
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5If you want to play any games on your switch you absolutely need to get this! This card will be the most reliable compared to other micro SD cards since it is specifically formatted for the switch. I have seen many other reviews on regular SD cards where they stopped working shortly after using them and they had lost all their game data. Even though it is more expensive I feel assured that I will have my game data for a very long time.
