Mario Day 2026 deals are already starting to roll in ahead of tomorrow’s celebration, and one of the standout offers drops Samsung’s Switch 2-compatible 256GB Mario-themed Express microSD card to $39 shipped. This officially licensed model launched alongside the Switch 2 last year and has only been discounted once before today. It’s now sitting at 35% off, matching the lowest price we tracked for it during Black Friday. This deal is also matched at Walmart and Best Buy, so it’s worth checking those retailers as well in case Amazon runs out of stock. It’s a solid option if you’ve been looking to double your Switch 2’s storage, and you can find more details about it below.
There are plenty of Express microSD cards compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2, but this officially licensed model was among the first to launch alongside the handheld itself. Like other options from competing brands, it uses a PCIe Gen 3.0 x1, NVMe 1.3 interface and can deliver transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s –significantly faster than standard UHS-I microSD cards. The main limitation here is capacity, as it’s only offered in a 256GB variant, so it may be worth considering some of the alternatives listed below.
Other notable Express microSD cards for Switch 2
- Samsung 512GB P9 Express 800MB/s Express microSD $120
- Lexar 512GB 900MB/s Play Pro Express microSD card $101 (Reg. $120)
Samsung’s officially licensed Express microSD card features:
- Nintendo Switch 2 uses a new standard of expandable memory card called microSD Express (sold separately). This kind of memory card is needed for faster access speeds and to ensure games will run smoothly.
- Please note: Nintendo Switch 2 is only compatible with microSD Express cards. If the microSD cards you have used for Nintendo Switch do not support microSD Express standards, you cannot use them with Nintendo Switch 2.
