SanDisk Launches 1TB microSD Card for Nintendo Switch

[GFreeman]

Western Digital has expanded its portfolio of Nintendo-licensed SanDisk microSD cards with the release of its highest capacity card yet, a 1 TB SanDisk microSD card for Nintendo Switch systems. In partnership with Nintendo, this supersized offering provides the highest capacity in the lineup of officially licensed SanDisk microSD cards, giving Nintendo Switch players even more space to take their favorite games on the go.

The new 1 TB card bears the Hylian Crest, inspired by The Legend of Zelda, and has been tested and approved for use with all Nintendo Switch systems. With the new capacity nearly doubling the amount of storage previously offered in the range of Nintendo-licensed SanDisk microSD cards, players will be able to expand their digital game library and store their favorite titles in one place. The Legend of Zelda fans in particular can rest assured that they can have the space they need to take on the exciting new chapter in the franchise, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.



"As a beloved franchise for over 30 years, The Legend of Zelda series continues to capture the hearts and minds of players across the globe," said Susan Park, vice president, global strategic partnerships at Western Digital. "We're excited to bring this latest card to the fan community and, through our strong partnership with Nintendo, we are proud to continue offering products that help gamers get the most out of their Nintendo Switch experience."

The 1 TB SanDisk microSD card for Nintendo Switch retails for $129.99 MSRP and is now available for purchase from select Western Digital retailers, e-tailers and on the Western Digital online store.

For Nintendo Switch fans who are looking for a smaller bump in storage, a new 64 GB Yoshi-inspired SanDisk microSD card is also joining the Nintendo-licensed portfolio. It is available for purchase at select Western Digital retailers, e-tailers and on the Western Digital online store with a retail price of $15.99 MSRP.

you would be better off buying the sandisk 190mb read pro 1tb which often goes on sale for 109, is faster than this and cheaper. and will work the same.

what is this nonsense. useless

At least, the design is nice ... (worth it the extra $ is another thing !)

Nintendo-licensed, there is where the extra cost is coning in. Nonsensical but the kids will love it.

Some cheaper SD cards melt in the switch. Also the case with cameras and laptops but oh well. This is something that's certified to work and not break down. For your average customer that alone is worth the price of entry. Most people aren't techies and don't have the time, or skills, to research all this.

These aren't great SD cards, but officially endorsed products like these do serve a purpose.

A regular person can buy and stick one of these into their Switch and have it work as expected without having to do any research.

that's fair, true

Yeah, but these are both more expensive and not as good as the best Sandisk sells. But I get it, it's a thing tech illiterate grandma can buy at the mall for the kids and it will work
