"Nintendo Switch is compatible with the SDXC standard, which supports up to 2TB," a representative from Nintendo told Game Informer . While 2TB capacity cards are not yet available for purchase, Nintendo said the console will support them once they hit the market.The largest capacity micro SDXC cards currently available for wide commercial purchase are 256GB in size and cost roughly $200 at major retailers. As seen in the video above, Nintendo showed off a 256GB card in use with the system during its Treehouse Live event stream last week.Nintendo Switch will ship with 32GB of internal memory. Considering some of that space will be taken up by the console's operating system, and the fact that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a 13.4GB download , those who plan to purchase games digitally for Switch may need to expand its storage with a Micro SDXC card.For more on Nintendo's upcoming console, check out this in-depth Switch walkthrough from Nintendo
