SanDisk has long made official microSD cards for theNintendo Switch, but its latest go one step further than ever before. Its newPokémonrange now offers a massive 1TB option.
That’s enough to store around 100 Switch games, if you consider the average file size for a title is 10GB. And, with read speeds of up to 100MB/s they should load pretty quickly too.
Of course, the 1TB card – which features Snorlax on the front – is a fairly pricey purchase. It’ll set you back £127.99 / $129.99. But, there are also 512GB (Gengar) and 256GB (Pikachu) variants too, for £56.99 / $54.99 and £29.99 / $32.99 respectively.
And, should you not be overly worried about the official Nintendo Switch branding andPokémontheme, you can always opt for a cheaper equivalent – such as the 1TB SanDisk Ultra (available on Amazon) that boasts even faster read speeds.
That’s not really the point though, as these latest cards are more for Switch purists and collectors who love to “catch ‘em all”.
“We’re excited to bring new and unique memory cards to the Pokémon community through our continued partnership with Nintendo,” said SanDisk brand owner Western Digital’s Susan Park.
“For more than 28 years, thePokémonbrand has captured and continues to capture the hearts and minds of gamers and fans globally. Together we are helping fans get the most out of their gaming experience."
