About this deal

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.

Companies consider their profits in double digits, so a single figure profit (unless it's at least 9) is considered largely negligible. I've worked for plenty of large, Fortune 500 companies to know this for a fact. The answer? Expand your Switch's memory by getting a great deal on a Micro SD card to store more games. Fortunately, there are plenty of cheap memory upgrade options for Switch in 2023 including mighty 1TB and 1.5TB Micro SD cards that will erase your storage woes for good (the Switch supports cards up to 2TB in size, although they don't actually exist just yet). You can also find fancy cards featuring Nintendo artwork that would make great gifts. Estimated delivery times are provided to us by the respective delivery companies. We pass this information onto you, the customer.cleveland124 If you're talking about cards, sure, but we're talking about flash memory chips, perhaps NAND flash chips, and we can't be sure on that until we get a teardown going after launch. NAND and other flash chip memory is much more expensive than SD flash memory. Even with manufacturing costs being low, they are typically sold higher corresponding to the higher memory size, especially when it's not removable. But even 3rd parties on WiiU, the patches never got that obscene in size. (Perhaps Dimensions notwithstanding.) MsgBoardGamer How exactly is it niche? More and more gamers are buying a Switch, it truly seems to be Nintendo returning to form, and for a lot of these people, a Nintendo console is their ONLY platform, so getting the game on a "superior" system isn't even an option. That the other parties show no interest in a Switch-like/portable product is completely beside the point and highly irrelevant to the discussion. 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

With discs, you can only do this with re-writable media, which is of course never used in consoles. And even if it is, then it will only be used by developers, for testing purposes. If there is visible contamination on either one, the microSD card may need to be replaced and the console will need to be sent in for repair. everything is beta" Yep, that about sums up modern gaming at least 3rd party gaming (increasingly nintendo too, but not quite there yet.) And you're WAY too hung up on the whole graphics thing. It's just one of the factors in the decision making process for Switch owners, but not the main one, so I'm suspecting that this is your personal sentiment, not a factually proven one. Mostly found online there's a superior yet card but the price tag is a nightmare in comparison from Patriot and Kingston but they're so very not worth it.

If someone is just brand loyal though the Sandisk Ultra and UltraPro are solid choices too. But the runner up went to that very Lexar 633x card you put into your story.

Note: These tests were performed before Nintendo added a so-called 'boost mode' to Breath of the Wild, which pushes the Switch's processor to its limits to speed up the loading process when you first enter a game or move to a new area. However, the hierarchy of different storage methods remains the same. 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. That fact is not in any way diminished or disturbed by current game sizes or zero-day patches/updates that developers are all too willing to ram down our throats nowadays.

Situation Not Resolved:

As a sales person, you should know that most companies are glad to make people pay for things at every opportunity if it helps to keep cash in the bank." 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. DLC for MK, Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade etc, file size wise were never terribly huge. That might really be the difference, and I hope it is, that Sony pushes every updated archive file while Nintendo pushes only the delta to save bandwidth. Shame on Sony if that's the case.

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. For UK buyers, there's been something of a shift as 512GB cards now offer the best value per gigabyte by some margin, with 128GB and 256GB options behind. 1TB cards are also getting much cheaper than before, meaning you don't pay much more per gigabyte to get a massive amount of game storage on your Switch. Dakt @JaxonH That's a specs point I've been trying to find for a while now. The UHS-II cards are way, way faster, but they use an extra row of pins to utilize the extra speed. Otherwise, they only use one row, which maxes out at around 95 MB/s read speed. I haven't been able to find anyone who can confirm whether the microSD slot uses one or two rows of pins. It's kind of a given, though, seeing as most HDD's only go up to 1 or 2 MB/s random access read speed, which is important for loading open world games... Just absolutely outdated and abysmal performance for any modern gaming machine. The NS should load smooth as butter by comparison, due to being built to fully utilize flash and solid state memory, normalizing random access read speeds that are 10's of times faster than HDD's. BotW and Skyrim for NS will really show this off. The average size for a first party Nintendo title is around 6.7GB. Are official Nintendo Switch SD cards worth it?The pricing on the NS isn't going to change much over time, nor will the performance of the built-in flash chips, while the price/performance ratio on SD cards will fluctuate dramatically over the next few years. Nintendo made the right decision in this regard at least, not falling for using psychological mind games to entice their customers towards the hardware itself. Those who use their heads will find the best values for increasing storage size and speeds. Yes, I do know, but that is only true in general. Here, the actual truth is different. Both Nintendo and the third party publishers/developers stand to gain absolutely nothing from gamers having to constantly buy extra storage. Where it concerns Sandisk's Nintendo Switch-specific Micro SD card line, the potential profit (if any) they can make on that only a small percentage of every card sold (as in 5 to 10), and they only come in two flavors capacity-wise, AND they are more expensive than Sandisk's regular Micro SD cards in the same sizes, so guess which ones will sell better? Talk about niche... Glad I'm waiting until Christmas, I predict at least 3 firmware updates that make improvements by then. Though it does look god so far, much better than 3DS or Wii U at launch. I just need time to wrap my head around the whole hybrid idea and how that's going to work w/ myself and 2 teenage sons. 3DS is easy, they each have their own, Wii U, PS4 are mine, Wii is in my sons room w/ his NES Mini and my old Atari 7800. Not sure what to do w/ a hybrid and 3 gamers.
