Let's face it: computer memory - including MicroSD Express cards for the Nintendo Switch 2 - are not going to drop in price in the near future. That puts new Nintendo Switch 2 owners in a bit of a pickle, or does it? One brand of MicroSD Express card continues to remain at the same price amidst the memory crisis, and not just the same price, but the lowest price. The Onn 512GB MicroSD Express Memory Card is still available at Walmart for $84.77 and the 256GB model is also available for $46.77, both with free shipping. Onn is a private label exclusively sold at Walmart, much like Insignia is to Best Buy or Kirkland is to Costco. There's no telling how long these prices will remain, but I'd certainly recommend getting one now if you need it instead of aimlessly waiting for a better deal.

The Switch 2 console will only accept MicroSD Express cards. 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 is no different, with speeds of up to 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. The Switch 2 has 256GB of onboard storage. This 512GB card will triple the total capacity and the 256GB card will double it.
