Walmart Has a 512GB Nintendo Switch 2 Memory Card for $75 With Hidden YMMV Coupon, 256GB for $37

Nintendo just opened up preorders for two huge upcoming releases: The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2 console, which ships out on October 29, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time game, which is out just a little bit later on November 5. Either way, you’ll want to pick up a memory card whenever you get the chance.

The Switch 2 only comes with 256GB of onboard storage and it will run out faster than you think. If you have a standard MicroSD card from your previous Switch, it won’t work on the Switch 2. Although the two might look similar, the MicroSD Express card is much faster than its precedessor. The Onn model boasts speeds of 800MB/s write and 600MB/s read.

Quite a few games have now been released for the Switch 2 and some of them require an enormous amount of space. Final Fantasy 14 is the most gigabyte-hungry game to date, requiring about 117GB all by itself. That game alone takes up half of the Switch 2’s internal storage capacity. Other plus-sized games include Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (90GB), Split Fiction (70GB), Cyberpunk 2077 (60GB), and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment (44GB). Nowadays it’s completely possible to download just three or four games and find yourself completely out of onboard storage.
