Nintendo Switch

Nothing’s broken here, folks. That’s the way the Nintendo Switch is supposed to work.

Don’t go looking for 64-gigabyte game cards for your Nintendo Switch next year.

That’s the word from The Wall Street Journal, which reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter, that Nintendo is delaying delivery of the high-capacity cards until 2019 because of technical issues. Previously the company had said it would make the cards available in the second half of 2018, according to the WSJ.

At the moment, game cards for the Switch, which features a break-apart modular design, top out at 32GB. An eventual move to 64GB would allow for more data-intensive games. Switch users also have the alternative of downloading games over the internet.

vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.

The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.

The Switch seems be doing all right with the games already available for it, like Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Nintendo has sold 10 million Switch consoles since the device hit the market in March.

My colleague Scott Stein says the Switch was the best gadget of  2017, a “weird, wild idea” that points to where tablets, phones and PCs could go next. He thinks that in 2018 we’ll see lots of companies taking the same sort of plunge.

Nintendo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
