A Complete Guide to Avoid Regrets When Buying Switch 2: Key Points to Prevent Overlooking "Insufficient Internal Storage"

The Switch 2 comes with built-in 256GB storage (with approximately 230GB available for use after accounting for system space). However, given the rise of large titles and updates around 90GB, the reality is that "it runs out faster than expected." Moreover, the expansion is only compatible with microSD Express (the old Switch's microSD is "not for game storage" and is limited to screenshots/videos), leading many to stumble over card selection right after purchase. Additionally, there are several overlooked pitfalls, such as the prevalence of game keys/cards (where physical packages are essentially large downloads), lack of support for USB external storage, exceptions in compatibility with some titles and peripherals from the original Switch, and differences in HDMI cable standards. This guide thoroughly checklistizes everything from capacity planning, card selection, transfer/operation, compatibility, to peripherals based on official specifications and the latest trends. It offers the correct initial setup so you "won't be troubled after it arrives" and suggests a "regret-free configuration" tailored to your style of play.
