As you may know, the Switch 2 only supports MicroSD Express cards. If you have a standard MicroSD card from an older Switch, unfortunately, you can't use it for game storage on the new console. While they may look similar, MicroSD Express cards are significantly faster—reaching speeds up to 800MB/s—while most MicroSD cards max out below 200MB/s.

Is the Nintendo Switch 2 console on sale for Black Friday?

Unfortunately, no (though we'd love to be proven wrong). In fact, Nintendo recently increased prices on Switch 2 accessories and warned that the console itself might see a price increase soon. So while there aren't any Black Friday deals on the Switch 2 console, if you don't own one yet and are considering a purchase, now might be a good time. It's now widely available, including on Amazon, with no invitation required. The only way to get a Switch 2 for less would be to buy an imported model from AliExpress or a used console from eBay or similar marketplaces.
