Nintendo Gaming / Re: The Switch 2 Storage Crisis
« Last post by ejamer on September 28, 2026, 08:35:16 AM »Haha! No problem - we aren't buying many games on Switch 2 because there have been so few exclusive titles that looked appealing. No games means never having to worry about storage space. /s
... Ok, releases we cared about have been slow coming, but that's quickly changing. So I guess it's time to start watching what people do for storage? Xenoblade games alone will take up a huge chunk of the on-board memory, and why wouldn't we want to own all of those games?
(And no, "clean the fridge" isn't a phrase I'd like to revisit. It was fine with Wii/WiiWare content; that was a different time and place. It's not fine in 2026.)
We'll continue buying physical whenever possible, and hold out on a memory upgrade until it's absolutely needed in hopes that prices will drop. A 512 GB MicroSD Express seems like the minimum worth considering. Getting a 1 TB would be preferable if pricing drops *significantly*... but might be overkill anyway. By the time we need that much space, uninstalling some lesser played games shouldn't be that much of a burden.
I don't really trust some of the budget brands, so when it becomes necessary to upgrade, we'll probably pay a bit extra to get a trusted brand. Ideally, this will be a one-time expansion so shouldn't be that hard to justify.
