The capabilities of some games on the Nintendo Switch console have been revealed and it is quite clear that we will need a microSD memory, of considerable capacity.

Nintendo's new handheld console, the Nintendo Switch is giving a lot to talk about ahead of its official arrival next week. We have already seen it in all its splendor, by someone who already has it and has done a little unboxing and we have also seen it gutted. The last thing we have heard about the new Nintendo console is that we will need a large capacity SSD card if we want to enjoy the games, since it seems that the games on this new platform are not going to be exactly light.

Nintendo has officially revealed the weight of some of the games that will be released together or shortly after the launch of this console. The console has a maximum capacity of 32GB, but it should be noted that the operating system and other software occupy about 6.1GB, therefore we have less than 26GB left. Only the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the new Legend of Zelda occupy more than 20GB, between the two, therefore it seems necessary to install a microSD memory.

According to the leaked information, the Dragon Quest Heroes 1 & 2, apparently would occupy the 32GB of memory of the console, but as this capacity is less due to the operating system and other software, we must store it in an external memory. Nintendo will make it quite easy in this field, since it will allow you to install the games in a microSD memory and support memory cards up to 2TB, with which we should not have excessive problems, in principle. This console hits the market on March 3 and will cost about € 300, approximately.
