You would think that with all of their fancy, new technology, the newest generation of consoles would have adequate storage space. But you’d be wrong. And while you can never have too many games on your Switch, you can absolutely run out of room. So what can you do to stop capping your Nintendo Switch’s storage?

You expand that piddly internal 32GB of storage with a beast of a micro SD card, is what.

There’s a cracking Amazon Prime Day deal on offer today for Switch fans who can’t get enough games on their console. You can grab a 256GB SanDisk Ultra Micro SD card for a nice $36.79, which should cover just about every game you’d ever want to download on the Switch. That’s a neat $42 off of the usual RRP of $79.

If you like all of your Switch gear to have Nintendo’s seal of approval, SanDisk’s officially co-branded micro SD card (256GB) is going for $54.54. That’s not a bad price.

Both of these SanDisk micro SD cards have a read speed of 100MB/s, which is the maximum that the Switch can support.

Amazon Prime Day 2021 is set to run until 5pm AEST, June 23. So you’ve got a just over 48 hours to nab one of these deals. While you’re saving a couple of bucks on a micro SD, you may as well check out the Nintendo Switch games that are currently on sale during Prime Day.
