It's official: The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, and the excitement is palpable. Following an extensive Nintendo Direct, which unveiled a plethora of new games and detailed insights into the Switch 2's hardware, preorders for essential accessories have begun.

Given the rapid sell-out of these cards across online platforms, it's crucial to act swiftly to secure your storage upgrade before the Switch 2's release. While the console itself will come equipped with 256GB of internal storage—a significant leap from the original Switch's 32GB—gamers with an ever-growing library may find the additional space invaluable.
