Are you one of the lucky deal hunters who score the Ninteno Switch 2 Cyber Monday console deal (if you haven’t, it’s still available)? Have you been holding off on a memory card upgrade until prices have dropped? If you answered “yes” to both questions, then you, my fellow Nintendo gamer, are in luck.
On Black Friday and Cyber Monday, a couple of Switch 2 compatible MicroSD Express cards went up for sale. Most of these deals are now expired, save for the most popular one. Amazon is still offering the 512GB Samsung P9 MicroSD Express card for $74.99. This is still the best price I’ve seen to date for a 512GB Switch 2 memory card and you should get it now before it expires. You’ll probably need to expand your storage down the road anyway, so you might as well do it while it’s on sale. It would also make an excellent gift idea for any Switch 2 owner.
Samsung P9 MicroSD Express Memory Cards
Nintendo Switch 2 compatible
As you should already know, the Switch 2 console will only accept MicroSD Express cards. If you have a standard MicroSD card from your previous Switch, you sadly won’t be able to use it to store games in the Switch 2. Although the two might look similar, MicroSD Express cards are much, much faster than their precedessors, with speeds of up to 800MB/s. Most MicroSD cards cap out at well under 200MB/s.
Is the Nintendo Switch 2 console on sale for Black Friday?
YES! For Cyber Monday, Amazon and Walmart dropped the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World console bundle by $50 from $499 to $449. This was completely unexpected and, best of all, it’s still available right now. If you’re been eyeing this console, you should get it quickly before it goes back up in price.
