SanDisk has been selling for the past few years officially licensed microSD cards featuring various Nintendo-themed designs. Previously, fans could snag cards boasting Animal Crossing, Super Mario, Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Mario Kart iconography. Now, SanDisk has announced that two new cards (and memory capacity sizes) will soon be available. Here’s the announcement:
Add storage for your favorite Nintendo Switch™ adventures with the officially-licensed SanDisk® 1TB The Legend of Zelda™ edition microSD™ card.
Pre-orders are available now at @GameStop! Visit https://t.co/5C6OEbaHSW pic.twitter.com/OT5Rz34eu7— SanDisk (@SanDisk) April 14, 2023
The Legend of Zelda edition microSD clocks in at 1TB of storage for $149.99, which many fans (this writer included) have been hoping SanDisk would produce as part of its partnership with Nintendo. You can pre-order it right here from GameStop. A pleasant surprise (and notably cheaper) is the Yoshi edition microSD with 64GB of storage for $15.99 (on Amazon, at least). The Zelda card is set to launch on May 26, 2023, while Yoshi will become available beginning May 12, 2023. Which is a little disappointing, right? If the Zelda card came out on 05.12.23 it would be releasing the same day as Tears of the Kingdom.
Ah, well. Such is life. Will you be upgrading your storage capacity on Switch? Tell us in the comments and on social media!
