You will Require a Micro SD Card to Play some Switch Games

SD

There is a major concern I had when the Nintendo Switch has unveiled that almost nobody talked about. The Nintendo Switch’s storage capacity which is not bad by any means. However, it also is a concern that should be taken into consideration in the ever expanding sizes of video games. SD cards have become a necessity for portable devices because of this.

This announcement shouldn’t come as a surprise if you know this. But Nintendo games are going to require an SD card in order to play them besides the physical copy. The first example of such games is going to be NBA 2K18.

SD Cards? But why?

The issue comes due to the fact that some content comes “Out of the box”. And while the game isn’t entirely unplayable, you still need to download some chunk of data to a MicroSD card.

This basically means that gamers will have to give up some more cash in order to get a MicroSD card for the Switch. Namely one of the official Nintendo SD cards that offer up to 128GB of storage capacity. It’s not that big of an issue, but some players might be against buying a high capacity SD card due to the pricing.

When questioned about this, Nintendo of America mentioned that NBA 2K18 might not be the only title that will have this problem. “A microSD card will be needed for certain Nintendo Switch games that contain an especially large amount of content and require additional storage for players to enjoy the full experience.” Said a representative of Nintendo of America to IGN. “If you purchase a physical version of a game that requires an additional microSD memory card, you will be able to play a portion of the game right out of the box (for example, specific levels or modes). “

SD

The silver lining to all of this however, is that any and all titles that require a MicroSD card will have a warning on their cover. With this, players won’t have an unpleasant surprise when they try to play their newly acquired game. Is this a big deal? Not really.

Dead Cells’ Return to Castlevania expansion, which came out a few weeks ago and is really good, is a great way to relive your childhood and enjoy a nostalgic distraction. A native PS5 physical release of the game is in the works, and it looks like we’ll be getting a bundle with both versions of the game.

Gematsu found a listing for “Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Edition” on the ESRB website. It was rated T for Teen, which suggests that an announcement is coming soon.

After its initial 2018 release on PS4 to widespread acclaim, Dead Cells has received a steady stream of updates, and we think a bundled SKU including DualSense support and all the other PS5 bells and whistles would be awesome. What do you think of Return to Castlevania if you’ve been playing it?

Techland, the company that made the game, says that the changes coming to the combat system will be “significant” and will make the already “brutal” combat even worse.A transmogrification system is also being added, which will give players more control over how their avatars look without sacrificing gameplay depth, which is always important.

Is Marvel’s Midnight Suns on the PlayStation 5 your curios? Over the weekend, anyone who wanted to could try out the tactical superhero game for free. Unfortunately, due to a few mistakes, it hasn’t been helping everyone. The good news is that this hiccup has been fixed, and the trial has been extended to make up for lost time:

As a result, until Thursday, March 30th, all PS5 owners can enjoy the game at no cost. You’ll have plenty of time to check it out after that.

Firaxis’ Marvel’s Midnight Suns gives familiar heroes and villains a fresh spin through the use of turn-based strategy and role-playing game elements. You’ll be able to hang out with Marvel’s Blade, Captain Marvel, and Wolverine when you’re not engaged in tactical battles. The game has its own style and is fun to play.

It’s also important to note that PS Plus Premium members can play the game for two hours for free. That’s why it’s not the end of the world if you can’t take advantage of this protracted trial period.

Will you be using this demo to check out Marvel’s Midnight Suns on the PS5?
