How to increase the STORAGE on a Nintendo Switch
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Hi, this video shows how to increase the storage space on the Nintendo Switch. If you intend to download digital games from the Nintendo eShop you will quickly run out of the Nintendo Switch 32GB internal storage.
In this video I increase that storage with a 64GB micro SD card and show how to install it and also what happens if you use the same micro SD card in another Nintendo Switch.
In theory you can increase the storage up to 2TB but these cards are not available yet.
You can also use more than one Micro SD card but only one at a time.
You can start with a smaller card (32GB or 64GB or 128GB etc.) and if it fills up then you can get a larger card (256GB) and re download the digital games for free from the Nintendo eShop. Your screenshots and videos can be transferred to the larger card using a computer.
Many thanks Vince.
I'm am actually starting to Running out of Space for my Nintendo switch So I just wanted to say Thank you For Posting this video This Video is actually very Helpful

@@turtlewolf34 usually micro sd cards by nintendo are more expensive for no reason .
all ftw yea but I got one for free 😌
Red Gyarados me too
quick and informative, not a lot of fluff and explains the limitations and things to watch out for. 10/10 would watch tutorials from you again
This was so helpful! I was so nervous and you really made this seem easy and comfortable, thank you for your kind demeanour
Thank you so much for this quick guide. I never wanted to delete all my photos and demos. I just need to get that sd card and I can get all the stuff I want
yeah
I’m running out of space on my switch so this was really helpful thanks a lot
Omg this got a LOT of likes, i don’t know why but thanks!
that's nice to hear

Yeah same I only have 3 GB left 😬
Not a LOT but pretty good

I should get a switch one day
do it
You didn’t get one for Christmas?
Bort Theattorney Nah I received a laptop, camera and money of course for Christmas. I did really ask for it since I already have a lot of gaming consoles. I might get it someday but not anytime soon
THAD YT it's a really good hybrid console
I got one
3:59 for those just looking for the port (which rests under the screen stand)
1) This video is very useful, thanks for uploading it.
2) If you get a physical copy of a game, you still have to download some sort of software onto the Switch and that takes up space as well.
3) I've got a physical copy of NBA 2K18 for the Switch that takes up a lot of space on the system and takes up to over 4 hours to download its software. I was thinking of getting a micro SD card with 128GB of storage and downloading the NBA 2K18 software on the micro SD card itself.
Tf u doing playing 2k on switch bro 😂
why does a game need to take up so much space
Thank you for all the fantastic videos Vince! Have a wonderful 2018 mate. Hope to see more videos from you!
Thanks so much :-)
My mate vince, could I have some help? So I’m planning to buy a PNY micro sd xc card, does it work with Nintendo switch? Thanks.
I am thinking about getting a Nintendo Switch and this video was extremely helpful. You pretty much solved all my doubts. Thanks
You just saved me so much lectures and bulls**t. Thanks, man.
Nintendo needs to make a newer Switch that had two stands and two microSD card slots (one under each stands), that way it makes room for more storage and makes the Switch easy to stand in tabletop mode.
Voan Siam the second kick stand would be right next to the switch's battery. Therefore, only one stand makes sense. Regardless, I have my switch in a hybrid case/cover so the screen doesn't get dirty and when I'm playing, I can place it on a table and it'll stand up
Or, y’know, you could just get a microSD card that’s a good amount of space. (32 or 64 is fine, 128 and 256 is for people that have LOTS of games)
most games are 6gb... 10gb at a push. Just 1 64gb microsd is perfectly enough for most players. 128gb maximum, and 256gb is a bit overboard. However, this might change when more tripleA games release
Mhm I agree
Stands you say? Is that a JoJo reference
Hey, just a little PSA, if you play Zelda Breath of the Wild, DON’T use a microSD Card to store the game onto, the problem is that the system is constantly reading large chunks of data at a time, and when you start screen recordings from the last 30 seconds, suddenly, the game will freeze and the indeterminate progress indicator at the bottom-left corner of the screen appears as if it’s trying to load the next area of the game. And once the screen recording finishes saving, the freezing stops entirely. Trust me, I’m using a 128 GB microSD card that’s Nintendo Switch branded, and it’s been a huge issue. I have since switched back over to using internal storage now for Breath if the Wild. So don’t waste your time deleting the Game Data and redownloading the game on a microSD card, because it’s not worth it. It turns out the internal storage drive on the Switch is actually faster than my microSD card. Even Super Mario Odyssey loads faster with the 8-Bit Odyssey flying through the screen faster than you can say “Spaghetti and meatballs!” But putting Super Mario Odyssey on a microSD card isn’t a bad idea since it’s not constantly reading large amounts of data at once. Super Mario Odyssey doesn’t have a ridiculously large overworld like BotW does, combine that with the fact that the Switch only has very little RAM, and clearly there’s not enough to just simply dump all the game data onto memory so it doesn’t have to constantly load. Remember, BotW is 13 GBs! And 15 GBs if you’re using the DLC. I’d explain more, but I think you get the point now.
That is great information. What a perfect comment to help out other viewers. Nice one.
Thanks so much for sharing this :-)
My Mate VINCE - Well, this is a surprise. But you’re welcome! 🙂

101ToonLink i got the card so yeah and i got a sd card as well one that can read data more faster and better with 4k hd and stuff like that :) but i didn't store anything in it maybe bunch of games from the shop wich doesn't need that much space

My Mate VINCE welcome 😁
Hi vince, does the steam controller work on the Switch with the Mayflash Magic Ns adapter?
RISPONDI
Hi, no unfortunately it doesn't work. I tried the Steam controller on all my adapters on the Switch and I can't get it to do anything wired or wirelessly.
Ibrahim Alnahawi *you're're
your tutorials are incredible thanks so much
Thanks I needed this video a lot because there are two games coming out that I really want to play so I had only one storage left I kept panicking that I could only install one game but now I know that’s not the case thank You so much you are a lifesaver
Thanks for that Vince I was started to get worried in my future😅
Thank u so much now I have more storage for my switch now I can download games I wanted
Thank you so much! It has really helped me!
i used to watch your nintendo switch videos for fun as i didnt have a switch but now i have one:D Great video by the way, keep it up!
Thanks, hope you enjoy your new Switch :-)
Not even have the devices you showcase but I like your voice and the thorough explanation you provide 👌
Thanks man :-)
I found quite a good offer in my area for a 64gb card that I have in my switch right now. A 32gb card was £25, (not on offer) and a 64gb card was on offer it was £35 originally and it was on offer for £20. These were in my local Tesco.

Be sure to get one it’s worth all the money
You can buy a 120 Gb Sd Card for 40$.....
Ma lokal TesCO
Well, in my country. I do not have to worry about micro sd. I got a class 10 sdxc 128GB, original for only 14usd
Hey I just got a switch and this helped a lot
Really well explained 👍
This was very helpfull, thank you
Man i almost thought i had bought for nothing lol. Didn’t know the spot was there,thanks a lot.
With the amount of business you send to Amazon I would love to see them partner with you. Would be a nice way for your subs to give you some extra support when they buy something you've recommended in a video.
thank you this saved me from the crippling stress of loosing all the memory on my sd card and nintendo that was slowly eating me alive day by day
…
I got a Nintendo switch for Christmas
Same
Getting myself and my son one for Christmas and wanted to see which storage method would be easier to use so thanks!
You are a nice mom
can you make a video on how to transfer user/save data to another switch? i think it was added to the new system update.
Yes I believe it was added a couple of months ago. I will look into it now that I have a newly formatted Switch. Thanks for the idea.
Many thanks Vince.
We need more tutorials from people like you, you get straight to the point, very easy to follow and works well, good job 👍

Aw man this would have been really helpful 3 days ago
Someone Unfamiliar wait 1 more year
Someone Unfamiliar rip
Thank you so much the only reason why my switch needed it tho was because of huge updates that takes up a lot of storage
I have two 3 Terabyte micro sd xc cards...
I think i am ok!
Yes, i've transferred 1 TB in each card from my old ones

They don't make them that big, it loads up showing that much but you can not use that much on it.
Yeah those don't exist
@@GlitchyPixel_GR you probably have been scammed... Those were probably lower size sd cards modified to say their larger. Sure it says you can put 3 terribytes on it, but the data will eventually layer on itself and become unusable. So good luck with that
Bro this is such a good video it literally explained and showed everything omg.
Ca you add a hard drive throw the doc ?
Unfortunately not (I tried). Currently you can only use the MicroSD slot.
im thinking of buying it and this is very helpful - and lol u were doing it at midnight
Damn doom has more memory space and than all my others games lol now i gotta go buy a sd card 🤕😂
i had a few mb left on my switch. this video was super helpful thank you!!

Very helpful video, thanks! :)
Thank you for the detailed instruction
Nice video dude! Keep up the great work!
Merry Christmas vince
Thank you very much it was really helpful
Thanks your the greatest
micro SD cards, their various MB speeds are irrelevant on the switch. Digital Foundry disproved this months ago doing a comparison. I was so sad it didn't make a difference, hell the faster micro SD ones were slower. so basically digital game on switch's 32GB internal memory loads way faster than one on a micro SD card since its taking data directly from the source and not needing to delay reading the micro SD each time for loading, downloading, installing etc. ;-;
7:28 i never even thought about that, well good to know o.o
Thanks for the heads up. I will look up the Digital Foundry comparison.
Thanks again. Vince :-)
Thank you! This helped so much!
I’m quite new to you channel and sorry if you have previously mentioned this in a video but do you work with computers and other things like that because if not you are super smart and I find your vids very useful
Thanks, I am glad you find them useful. My background is in telecoms, but generally I like anything to do with 'how things work'.
Wow your videos are very informative....
For the past I've been watching your switch video....
I really envy you...
In any case you have spare nintendo switch....
Forget about it.. Merry Christmas and happy new year..
lol i see what youre trynna do mate
Very helpful video. Thanks :)
Thanks I just got it that helped a lot
Great video. Thanks. I just got mine.
This was helpful, thanks!
i have the same sd card and i wasn’t sure if it worked because i only have 4 games so thanks!
Thank you soooooo much you helped me sooo much
3 years later and I’m still thankful
This helped me allot thank you
You are a straight legend for doing this, my rocket league just updated and I was wondering how the hell to move it to a micro sd card. (Does this still work if you have the cartridge for rocket league since it’s free on the store?)
You helped me so much
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for your help
Thanks this really helped my🙂
Thank you my GUY!
Can we all appreciate the fact that he recorded this at 12:33am?
love your videos !
you saved my life, first tiome using switch
It will be a challenge, but I'll take it this 64GB one. Should be good on my Switch. Because I live in Brazil, and everything is seriously expansive, the physical games cost like 80 dollars duo to the government tax. The cards too, 128GB that everyone recommends is very hard to get here. Now, let me praise if my storage will not run out soon...
Thank u sooooo much i needed rocket league and apex im about to but one thank again
TY I NEEDED THIS
Thanks for the video I am downloading more games.
Is no one comenting how the time on the nintendo is 00:30 this man is very energetic for him to not sleep
