Also the expensive SDHCe cards and the game-key cartridges because games are too big to fit on the standard 64GB carts. That will add to the cost even more and the whole thing is confusing/laughable!
64GB is standard? Nintendo is really nowhere near making a console like PlayStation or Sony, huh. Mental of them think they have any power to set the prices. Very few people are going to get their console outside of a sale. As for games, I hope they get pirated
It's not standard as devs can choose a few diferent sizes but according to CD Projekt Red the highest capacity available is 64GB.

That’s the game cart size. The switch 2 comes with 256GB built in and is expandable.
That’s said, the Switch was also expandable. I put a 256GB card in and like 55+ games later (only 7 are digital though) I still have plenty of room. Switch/Switch 2 games aren’t nearly as big as Xbox or PS5 games are. I’ve not even cared about how much storage I’ve got free on my Switch in forever… where as my PS5 got a 2TB upgrade and I still have to keep an eye on it from time to time.
Have you met nintendo fanboys tho? I bought a switch, just because my nephew is that age and it seemed easier than letting him use my steam account, that he then can't take home and stuff. The last console i owned was a xbox 360, so i didn't really know anything. I got the switch and thought you can't go wrong with mario kart. The game was something over 60 bucks and i thought that's crazy and googled that the game was then like 8 years old. I bought it used and i found their dlc system pretty disgusting and predatory, since they knew it's for kids and they dangle their dlc in front of them at all times so the parents will buy it eventually.
Anyway, i asked in a nintendo forum if that was normal for switch games, because i genuinely had no idea how they operated. I caught so much shit there. People telling me that it's a good game and the dlc is super worth it and it's best to just buy it, so the kids stop clicking on it and whatever. These guys buy a switch 2 no matter what and Nintendo knos that damn well
Ouch. I can imagine what fanatics are like, they always come out of the woodwork to chew on controversial media aha
On Android I got this Mario Run app, was really promising with a cute little base to customise and a lot of replayability, but three levels in and it wants you to pay £10 to unlock the rest. Hooks you in, then demands payment. I just feel like that's a surefire way to get money off the financially unwise.
I had the OG Switch and Mariokart 8, it's really good but not 'sink your life savings into' good lol.
