The wildly popular Nintendo Switch 2 keeps riding its summer momentum, with the console currently available on Amazon, though some gamers are struggling to track down compatible microSD cards that are both in stock and reasonably priced.
Fortunately, Walmart just solved this dilemma in style. While we've recommended 256GB cards to expand your Switch 2's memory, their current 512GB offering at $78 stands out as the best value we've spotted for this storage capacity.

This 512GB microSD Express Card is Perfect for Nintendo Switch 2
It's worth noting that Walmart previously carried a more affordable onn microSDXC Express Card, but it's been unavailable for ages, making this SanDisk deal your prime choice.
Amazon still stocks the Mario-themed microSD Express from Samsung, priced at $59. Shelling out less than $20 more gets you double the storage capacity here.
The same 512GB SanDig card lists for $120 on Amazon with delivery delays stretching into August/September. That makes Walmart's $78 price point with quicker shipping a $42 bargain you shouldn't overlook.
Here's disappointing news for those hoping to reuse their original Switch cards: The Switch 2 demands microSD Express cards that offer enhanced speeds (and consequently, higher price tags).
The silver lining? These next-gen cards slot in effortlessly and deliver performance identical to the console's internal 256GB storage (a massive upgrade over the Switch 1's meager 32GB).
In other Switch 2 developments, Amazon finally stocks the official Switch 2 Pro Controller after resolving a protracted dispute with Nintendo. This resolution also brought about an Amazon listing for Donkey Kong Bananza, launching July 17.
