If there's one upgrade that all Switch 2 owners need, it's additional storage. While the 256GB is an upgrade from the OG Switch, it can still fall a little short when plenty of third-party games can push 50GB or more when downloading digitally.
To counteract this, I highly recommend picking up one of the best Switch 2 microSD cards going right now, but you'll want to find one at the best price possible (especially with how volatile the market is right now).
Thankfully, as part of the Mario Day and 40th Anniversary celebrations, the official 256GB Switch 2 memory card is down to $39 at Amazon right now.
That's a significant $20.99 off the list price, and the best price I've seen on this since Black Friday last year. It doesn't quite hit the lows of $35 we saw on Samsung's P9 Switch 2 microSD express card at the very start of the year, but it's still the best price going right now, and the best price since January.
Just as a reminder, microSD Express cards are the only way to expand your Switch 2's internal storage. If you've been looking to upgrade, I'd pick this up ASAP.
Mario Day: Switch Games on Sale
The Switch 2 microSD card isn't the only thing on sale as part of Mario Day either. From March 8 to 14, retailers in the US are also offering discounts on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games.
That includes Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Super Mario Odyssey down to $39.99 each, alongside the Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV for just $59.99.
