Here's What The Micro SD Card Slot Looks Like On The Nintendo Switch OLED

This system is looking great!

Never used the kickstand.... but it looks like I'm gonna use it from now on o_o

I enjoyed how animated this guy was in the video. It was fun to watch his reactions.

Only treated the old kickstand as a card slot cover.

"This should make it harder to accidentally eject the card when you're handling the console."

Seriously, who has managed to do this with the original model?

Just in case there was any doubt about how madly enthusiastic we all are about Nintendo...

"Here's what the micro sd card slot looks like on the Nintendo Switch OLED."

(Looks good by the way!)

Dang if the OLED doesn't look sleek. That kickstand is nice, but if/when I get an OLED, I think I'll keep using Nintendo's $20 charging stand haha; gotta get my $20's worth.

@nocdaes the Nintendo kool-aid tastes real good lol

The "upgrade" is so lackluster that we have to talk about kickstands and micro sd slots now because the hardware wasn't what everyone wants. Sad.

They never said it was an upgrade, they said it was a OLED screen. They didn't even call the v1.1 revision with more battery life anything at all. Nintendo can't be responsible for us making up expectations every three months and then getting our utterly unencouraged imaginations dashed. It's not a product we all collectively made up. "Sad".

I wish they made an update with an "unmount sd card" option like phones without powering off the console, I have 6 microSD full of games and most of the time I play what is on the inserted card because I am bored to take it off the dock, power it off change card, power on again and so on... also I wish microSD was next to the cartidge slot so you can change it without take it off the dock.
(1TB cards still too expensive...)

More interestingly, looks like you can now charge the console in tabletop mode

this has been the highlight of my day. yes i havent had a good day

I wish they would have overclocked this model to squeeze out a bit more performance

I really like this and I been thinking of buying another switch for a few months now, I thought I would go for a switch lite so my kids can have other system to abuse. My point is, at any time I try to entertain the idea of buying a Oled model I can't simply justify that purchase. First world problems I guess....(even tho I currently reside in Mexico)

@KoopaTheGamer I was gonna ask the same thing. Seems like something you have to actively try to do.

If they had had two SD card slots then I probably would have upgraded. Not sure if that is even possible though.....

As it is, it seems like the Switch will be the Switch 2 before the 2TB cards it can handle even become a reality.

@Warioware I think they can put two sd card slots that would mean 4tb of storage if and when we get the 2tb cards. I can go for that since sd storage will be the limiting factor as one gets more and more games without resorting to deleting games they could still go back and play.

Looks good.

I was curious where the microSD slot was.

This is exactly the design they should have done on the original. That or have at least 2 of the small kickstands on either end.

The lone small one is so unstable.

Never really had an issue with accidentally ejecting the micro-SD card from the current Switch, but the redesigned placement is still nice.

is only concerned about the micro sd card falling out even though no one complained

joy-con drift does not exist

@SwitchForce Yeah I would have thought that it was possible. Seems like a logical step too since they seem to be pushing digital distribution these days. As others have said, switching between SD cards is quite annoying and they are pretty small so easily lost.

@SimplyCinnamon53 I was hoping that myself, but I fear that if the USB-C port is in the same place as before, there won’t be enough clearance (angle) between the Switch and resting surface to fit the plug.

@RabidCanuck Looks like they actually pushed the USBC connector on the switch further up into the unit based on the pictures in this article

@KoopaTheGamer considering the consciously distinct amount of pressure you need to apply for the ejection mechanism to work, I second the question. After all, the thing itself has been designed against such accidents for almost two decades now.😅

@FaroreAbhorsen the name clearly implies it's a SKU of V2, not an update.

Why is everybody calling this a upgrade? It’s more a facelift!

Well going to watch Star Wars Episode 1 in 4K cause this makes the movie much better then in HD. lol

The marketing for this console makes it so tempting for me to "upgrade" but... I know better than to waste money on something that I already have alternative solutions for.

@SimplyCinnamon53 I noticed that notch myself; even it’s been moved there, it doesn’t look like there’d be much room. I watched the unboxing video hoping to get a better glimpse of it, but no dice.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

@serouj2000 I agree. Nintendo has done everything they can to undersell the system and never hinted at upgrades. I guess it's fair to be disappointed that no upgrade has been announced but I don't think it's fair to say this isn't the upgrade everybody wanted--it's not an upgrade, it's a sku with an OLED. There are also SKUs with special docks or joycons colors.

Now if they marketed something as the New Switch Deluxe Plus 2 and it just had two more gigs of Ram I'd understand.

I hate myself for wanting this because I 100% don't need it because I play docked 75% of the time...

you know they picked white so it can sit nicely with the ps5 lol or you can believe its due to Metroid

I don't know what it is, but I never liked this guy.
I'm sure he's a nice guy in real life, but I find the character he plays for these videos (i. e. The PlayStation 5 video) to be insufferable.

why Nintendo… why no second micro sd slot. or hard drive support on the dock. please. more storage.

"This should make it harder to accidentally eject the card when you're handling the console." This was an issue? Never once happened to me in 4 1/2 years and I play handheld a lot. Still getting the OLED version though.

@Gwynbleidd what prices did you see I've seen it on Amazon US at 139usd that's the cheapest I've seen and bought one and now I have 500gb or so left. Now I need the 2tb so I can get a 1.5tb left to update the so 400+ games I need to still play.

@JudgeMethos same here to eject the Cart or for that matter the sd card that takes alot of really trying to get it out to do that. That cover in itself is more then sufficient on the Cart to you have to being doing this to eject it out.

Cool. Now where's the article/video for what the B button looks like?

@birdcat Yes that's an extremely important thing that people need to be seeing. It will be a make or break situation for most people if Nintendo messed up the B button !

do anyone know how big micro sdxc card you can use on nintendo switch cus you can get up to 2 tb(2.000gb)
on card now in stores

@talllennart cost around 1.200 dkr its 90 usd

It can open up?! Now I'm sold even more.

"This should make it harder to accidentally eject the card when you're handling the console."

How can you accidentally eject the SD card on the current switch models 😂

@progx Japanese people are like thousand times more expressive than us. Just watch some japanese ads lol
