Where are you seeing this? Was seeing 256GB microsdxc's for like $120 at the cheapest last I looked and they got awful ratings because they were no-name brands that died within 3 months for most people.

My mistake. I was looking at SDXCs, not MicroSDXCs.

Yeah, I never quite understood what that even was supposed to be there for. A couple weeks ago I tried it out on my 3DSXL out of sheer curiosity and was appalled. What good is a browser if it chokes even on something simple like Wikipedia? On my PS4 at least it made kind of sense, even though I never got to use the browser because I never ran into the situation of both my PC and notebook breaking at the same time.

Again, captive portals for public WiFi networks, like on trains or airplanes.

But this doesn't seem like a device that is going to enjoy widespread appeal, so probably won't matter anyways.

This is really gonna be dependent on Nintendo figuring out their supply line. It sounds like they had it figured out for the Wii U, maybe. On the other hand, it also seems like the Wii U didn't do really well outside of die-hard Nintendo people.

For sure, I can't even find a 512GB Micro SDXC :(. I actually wish they used regular SDXC cards as they're way easier to find larger storage for cheaper. An extra $200 for 256GB is not my jam.

Breath of the Wild is 13 gigs, so I'd suggest at least a 128 card if you're even slightly interested in going digital for full games. For the Wii U and 3DS I went straight digital but with the fact that high capacity micro cards are still really expensive and the 20% amazon prime discount, I can't see myself downloading anything with a cart release.

What kind of virtual console content is likely to be available for the Switch? I realize Wii and WiiU games are unlikely to ever be available as VC content, but will I at least be able to get some Gamecube stuff there? Is it likely to be available shortly after launch or take months, if not years to become available even if they can go that far?

I guess it really depends on how big Switch games get. Breath of the Wild is around 14 gigs (almost half the Switch's internal storage) but then some games like Bomberman are only 4. You can kind of estimate how big some games may be, like Mario Kart 8 was 5 gigs on Wii U but maybe with the new content it'll approach 6 or 7?

Console games tend to be a bit bigger, even when you aren't filling them full of pre-rendered video and uncompressed audio and 4k textures like a hedonistic uncaring idiot, but it's really hard to judge, at this point, how large the average game will be.

I'd rather just buy carts personally, but buying a physical copy isn't always going to be convenient.

NES, SNES, N64 are already on the Wii/Wii U so I imagine they will guaranteed be on the Switch. They have said that GC games will be on the Switch. I would say there's a good chance of Wii games showing up at some point too. Since they have said that they are outsourcing VC stuff to the guys who did the NES Classic, I am hopeful for a larger selection available at a quicker pace than the Wii U's snail pace release of VC content.

No game that old is worth $35. I just checked and you could buy an N64 with two controllers and three games, along with a separate copy of the physical Extreme G game on eBay for less than twice that price (€60 versus €33). You could pick up a game that's about 6 months old for less than that these days if you look around.

The "videogame industry" didn't do this to Nintendo: Nintendo is unreasonable and greedy at times, exactly like everyone else in the business. Actually, they've proven to be more unreasonable than average, both with consumers and with 3rd parties that they consistently treated like poo poo when they were the big dogs.

One of the reasons you see such terrible irrational choices might be the fact that people like Miyamoto, Kimishima, Iwata and Yamauchi before him simply couldn't be reasoned with. Can you imagine how toxic would it be to work with someone like shiggy? He's a genius designer who's achieved global success by doing his own thing and never listening to what people told him: to an extent he's still doing this for better or worse - iirc he categorically refused to put in-game purchases in Super Mario Run despite everyone else telling him to - and while its artistic integrity is admirable, the same talents that brought him to the top probably make him an egotistic arrogant rear end in a top hat resistant to any change whatsoever.

I don't know Miyamoto or what actually happens at Nintendo, but this is my very personal and subjective explanation of why they've been making terrible choices for the past 20 years, mostly based on rumors, guesswork and unconfirmed assumptions. That said yes, MK8 is a such a great game that you can think of anything to justify buying it twice. :)

This is already from a few pages back but I wanted to respond to it because while Miyamoto being a tyrant at times is correct during the Treehouse Live segment they revealed that the reason we are going to graphically and contextually jarring locals in Mario Odyssey is apparently due to him letting the younger designers run wild and he didn't override every idea he didn't like.

So at least you can't blame him for that!

I'd probably opt for something stupid fast instead of more storage space when buying a microSD for my Switch. Like this https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MicroSDXC-Memory-MB-MD128DA-AM/dp/B01CO48M36 or this https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-expa...ET63K399RZ720BM

I got a 64GB Micro SDXC from Wal-Mart for Black Friday last year for $14. If the Switch has 32GB onboard, then I'm looking at 96GB of space out the door. Black Friday deals will probably be incredible for Switch owners this year.
