I think Snake Pass will be good because at the very least it is charming as hell.
I'm going to buy it because it looks like a fun 3D platformer, and it's cheap.

Has Been Heroes.. nothing I saw made me interested in the game. If you're keen on games like that it'll probably be passable, but past that it's not going to draw in new players to the genre.

I've been sick and had an idea/fever dream for a Waluigi game

Waluigi sneaks into a mueseum to correct the art. This correction is adding Waluigi mustaches and noses on every portrait with a paint brush. Some full moon magic shenanigans happens and he's sucked into abstract Dali like paintings and the game is Waluigi navigating abstract painting landscape levels and using his paintbrush to alter the areas around him to progress and using it to attack enemies in game. Please send me a million dollars and cough medicine, Nintendo

Once it's downloaded the kid can play offline fine, I think?

Would suck if they are going on a road trip and say "We bought you this lego game so you can play it in the car" and then it doesn't work because you have to download half the game.

You want microSDXC and I believe it's 256. Your looking at $200 or more:

128 gig is the most bang for your buck but if you want more then get this 200 gig sandisk.

I've put this in my Switch, it works great. A bit more per gig than the 128, but not as insane as the 256.

Yeah, right now at 256GB you're getting diminishing returns in gigs-per-dollar. 128 or 200 is where the pricing sweet spot is, for the moment.

I thought it would be higher. The Switch will be dead by the time we get 2TB ones.:lol:

I'm sure most worthwhile 1st party games will be well optimized and not take as much space as that Lego game so 256GB will probably do. I'll wait for a sale on one.

Samsung 128GB Evo cards are available at Walmart for between $25-35. I'm probably going to cave and get one tonight. I have been waiting for Best Buy to sell Samsung or Transcend cards for a reasonable price but it looks like Walmart is gonna be the place to go. I don't have Amazon Prime anymore and eBay is filled with too many sketchy cards.

I've been watching Amazon since December in anticipation of getting a deal on one before the Switch came out and no dice. I'm not saying it won't go on sale, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The only thing that will drive the price lower is if a 512 or more becomes commercially viable.

I have a huge chunk of the Wii U library on digital and used 200GB. Things like Bayonetta 1 & 2, Smash, MK8, Splatoon, Mario 3d World, on and on. And that's without ever deleting anything.

Same, that's why I don't think we'll need much. Nintendo was really good most of the time about keeping file sizes down for most of their games on Wii U.

Got my Switch today! I feel bad for you Americans, I could probably buy like 100 of them, they're in stock everywhere in New Zealand. Letting it charge while I muck around and then it's Zelda time! What a fantastic little system, very comfortable to hold, and the joy-con's are awesome, love that you can just use one in each hand or combine them into a traditional controller, very cool.

Wow, thanks for the heads up on this! Unless I'm looking at a different card on Amazon there are 2 Walmarts near me with a 128gb evo card beating Amazon's price.
