Gaming Frenzy: MicroSD Express Cards Fly Off the Shelves!

The gaming world is buzzing as news of the Nintendo Switch 2's demand for a new type of microSD card, the microSD Express, has sparked a buying frenzy among fans. Stockists are struggling to keep pace with the overwhelming demand from gamers eager to upgrade their storage!

Reports from Japan indicate that retailers like Hermitage Akihabara have been selling an astonishing 337 microSD Express cards every hour! This surge is unprecedented for a product that previously experienced lackluster sales.

However, there's a twist: next shipments remain uncertain, and even when they do arrive, prices could skyrocket! While there have been significant sales figures, thankfully, most purchases come from legitimate customers rather than resellers hoarding stock.

European Customers Rejoice!

If you’re one of the lucky ones who secured a Switch 2 invite from Nintendo in Europe, you can breathe easy. You have the chance to pre-order a limited 256GB microSD Express card—each customer can get only one!

Why Choose MicroSD Express?

While microSD Express isn't an entirely new format, its higher price tag reflects its enhanced speed and power efficiency—both vital for the Switch 2’s advanced capabilities.

What Does This Mean for Nintendo?

This incredible surge in accessory sales hints at a promising future for the Switch 2, which looks ready to make waves in the gaming market upon its release. Gamers everywhere are gearing up for what could be a revolutionary gaming experience. Fingers crossed it meets our high expectations!
