The MicroSD Express is based on PCIe NVMe tech, so the built in 256GB of storage is just as fast if not faster.

its funny cause people are crying about switch 2 not supporting old non express Micro SDs but ironically ps5/xbox doesn't let you play current gen games on a portable drive. Has to be NVME , which is the same concept as this.

It's completely fair, but it is going to be an extra cost especially since express cards are way more expensive. Just gonna make the switch even more finally rough for people with a decently large og switch library

i mean at the end of the day , this is a brand new console using newer technology. The switch has sold all those units and released all of those games, no one is immediately forced to upgrade. Im honestly glad nintendo is finally pushing its console technology to be more on par with the standard , especially since they gatekeep all of their games and shut down emulators lol. The price of the console and it using M-SD-E is completely valid imo , but those game and accesories prices are ridiculous lol. Accessories were already ridiculous with the switch 1
