Having said that, this is a problem for a number of reasons. That’s a good thing, since the Switch’s internal storage offers just 32 GB of space - less than 26 GB of which is available to users. The console is compatible with microSDHC cards and microSDXC cards, with sizes up to a theoretical maximum of 2 TB. The Switch’s microSD card slot is hidden behind the Switch’s kickstand. The Switch does let you choose individual games, and then asks whether you want to erase data for just one user or for every profile on the console. But when you click on it, the only thing you can do with save games is delete them - there’s no option to move them to the microSD card or other external storage. Under the Data Management section of the Switch’s system settings, there’s a “manage save data/screenshots” option. Not so with the Switch - all saves live only in the system’s built-in flash memory. Many cartridge-based platforms put save data on the game cartridge itself, not the console’s internal storage. While playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, we tried to save the game directly to the microSD card we had in the system, but that option wasn’t available. In fact, you can’t transfer any Switch game files to a microSD card - whether that’s downloaded games or save data. Switch save data is stored in the console’s system memory, and currently cannot be copied to any external storage medium for backup purposes (or any other reason). The Nintendo Switch launches tomorrow with support for expandable storage via a microSD card slot, but that support is pretty limited, as we discovered after applying the console’s day-one update today.
