Nintendo Switch news: Storage problems SOLVED with HUGE SD card and discount

A new Nintendo Switch accessory is about to make storage issues a thing of the past.

Integral Memory’s upcoming MicroSD card has a massive 512GB capacity, making it the biggest ever made.

Even better news is that the 512GB MicroSD card is compatible with Nintendo Switch, which is ideal for those sizeable third-party releases.

First-party Nintendo games tend to have relatively small file sizes, but titles like LA Noire, FIFA 18 and Doom take up a huge chunk on the console’s internal memory.

According to The Verge, the new MicroSD card goes on sale in February, although it’ currently without a release date.

If you can’t wait until then, one website is currently offering big discounts on 128GB MicroSD cards.

For a limited time, SanDisk Ultra Micro SDXC Memory Card can be picked up at a heavily reduced price.

Running at 100MB/s, the 128GB MicroSD card is available for just £29.99.

Representing a saving of 40%, that’s down from the original asking price of £49.99.

And speaking of the Switch, the company recently announced a new range of Nintendo Labo Toys, which are cardboard creations aimed at kids.

Launching in April, the cardboard kits will let users build motorbikes, robots and fishing lines.

Working alongside Joy-Cons, Switch consoles and software, players can even make a functioning piano.

As you play, the IR Motion Camera in the Right Joy-Con detects which keys are being pressed and plays each note through the console’s built-in speakers.
