    Nintendo finally let people know what the maximum amount of storage will be for the Nintendo Switch, which ships with 32GB -- and...drum roll...it's 2TB!
    That's quite a bit of space for non-proprietary micro SDXC cards, which you can pick up at your local big box store.

    Well, you would be able to pick them up if they existed as Nintendo muses that 2TB models are not actually being sold -- but when they are, they'll support them. For reference, average micro SDXC cards are only at around 256GB at the moment (512GB solutions exist but 1TB models do not, just a month and a half before the system launches), and can wildly vary on price depending on the brand.

    It's yet another added cost to tack onto the Switch if you're going digital, since the included 32GB is woefully small (Zelda takes up roughly half of the internal storage day one).

    According to Nintendo, external USB drives will be supported, but not at launch. Time will solve a lot of these problems, but as always, early adopters beware.

    its nice to see that Nintendo is trying to hold its own against the PS4/xbox one when the Switch is Running a quadcore CPU and the GPU is trash
    both the PS4 and xbox run 8 core CPU's but at least they didn't try remaking the Wii U that would have been stupid on their end
