    So, I knew this was specifically for a switch, but because it was nintendo branded, I assumed it'd also be pre-formatted for other nintendo consoles.
    It comes in exfat format, which is great for the switch, and with a cursory check of reddit, it seemed that the n3ds could use that format for larger cards.
    It cannot, it still has to use fat32, but thanfully with another reddit search and rufus, I was able to reformat it beautifully, and get it to work on other nintendo consoles.
    I'm sure I paid an upcharge for the nintendo branding, but I like having a big SD card and one that makes it obvious that it has games on it, as well as the gurantee it's the size it says it is, and isn't a rip off microsd that is using a capacity scam.

    5/5 because while it didn't work immediately for my 3ds, it is marketed for switch, and formatted and ran beautifully once I did 30 seconds of googling. It's a nice microsd card with large capacity and a cute design, so I can't go wrong.

    Style: Legend of ZeldaCapacity: 1TBVerified Purchase
    This memory card works great looks good I bought it for my legend of Zelda switch OLED just to keep the theme going, but as a 1TB memory card you only have 800 in something gig out of it. Now I have a 1TB giga stone for my games as well I know I know I have a lot of games for my switch, but the reason why I have them is to try different one terabyte to see which one is best value for your money and the gigastone is definitely better value for your money because I would have 900 in something gigs out of it and I’m hearing that there is even cheaper 1TB options on Amazon that is a third of the price of this one and even gives you more memory. No, I bought this again because I had the legend of Zelda OLED switch and I wanted to keep the theme going on it like I said earlier and the SanDisk works great, but there are better options out there and this is coming from somebody who owns a lot of Sandisk products no I don’t have any issues with it but it is a little upsetting when you spend almost 130 or 140 bucks on a memory card when I could’ve bought three for the price of one and got more memory or I could’ve got a giga stone memory card and had 40 bucks left over at the time of purchase but again this is still a good product and I’m sure that the longevity will be good and the performance seems to be doing very well. It is a little slower on loading when it’s full but once it’s going, it works really well and I have not had any issues with it yet and I have played probably about 30 games on it so far and no hiccups. Like I said it’s just a little slow switching in between games since I have it completely full I use the switches on board memory for the save data. But with my giga stone, I never had any issues with that and it never lagged in load time there were larger games that did take a little longer to load but for the most part, I never had a single problem and it worked great. My device would be do your research on a different memory card I recommend giga stone since they’re tried and true, but there are other options that are way more affordable but I do not know on longevity or performance. I do know that they work just don’t know if it’s going to be good enough to be playing switch games or high definition movies or photos or anything like that I don’t know if it’s 4K but if you are like me and just wanted to keep the theme going and don’t plan on switching out the memory card and just want to be a big nerd like myself, then yes by this thing it’s good it looks great. Love the little design on it , the artwork on the package is perfect and I would buy another one in a heartbeat just to have as a display and I would even buy another one just to use but I prefer performance over design and practicality over design like I said before I only bought this, just because it’s SanDisk and the design matches the system And it was the right memory size that I wanted so with all that being said, I would highly recommend looking somewhere else to purchase your memory card because losing almost 100 gig is kind of a big deal. This should be around 920 or 960 gig not 860 something as you know 100 gig can mean nine more games or maybe a little bit more but yes, I do know that you can only play one game at a time but I don’t want to waste time constantly downloading my digital games I want to download them and be done not the finishing game deleting it and then re-downloading at a later time just like physical copies I just wanted there to play whenever I feel like it so now I have to buy another memory card just to finish downloading the other 50 or so games that I have which I was going to have to do anyway, but I would just recommend buying something else
