Samsung’s 512 GB microSD is $29.99 for Prime Day, gives your packed Switch more space

Samsung’s 512GB microSD card, useful for Nintendo Switch and Android smartphones and tablets, though available for $29.99, or 33% off, for Amazon Prime Day. It’s great value and a good way to give your Switch games some room to stretch their legs – or pack more.

Power Nintendo users are familiar with the cramped onboard quarters that came with the launch model and Nintendo Switch Lite (both 32GB) and even the Nintendo Switch OLED model (64GB) which arrived in 2021. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes up 16 GB of storage and many third-party AAA games go above 20 GB.

So for the price of a used game you can give yourself some extra space and a break from constant file management every time a new game comes out. (Unless you get your games on physical media, in which case you have more power.) I’m kind of a geek about being able to download and install any digital game I bought, and I bought a 512 GB card for considerably more when I got my OLED in late 2021.

If you want to fill your Switch’s expansive memory with new games, GameStop has a digital code deal for that Metroid fear for $39.99 ($59.99 normally); it is also available on physical media along with Pokémon Legends: Arceus for $39 ($20 off) and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 for $25 (was $39.99).
