35% off/$39

Amazon is now offering Samsung’s officially licensed Switch 2-compatible 256GB Mario-themed Express microSD card for $39 shipped. This model launched alongside the Switch 2 last year, as one of the first Express microSD cards for the handheld. We saw it drop to the $39 mark when it was discounted for Mario Day earlier this year, and today’s offer lands it back to that lowest price with a 35% discount. Walmart and Best Buy are also matching the offer, giving you a few options in case Amazon sells out. This is a great offer for anyone who missed the Prime Day deal on Samsung’s P9 Express card at $40. You are getting the same 256GB capacity and Switch 2-ready Express storage performance here for a dollar less, and with the officially licensed Mario design. Head below for a closer look.

There is no shortage of Express microSD cards for the Nintendo Switch 2 now, with options from various manufacturers, but this officially licensed model was one of the first to hit the shelves alongside the handheld. Like competing Express microSD cards, it uses a PCIe Gen 3.0 x1, NVMe 1.3 interface and delivers transfer speeds of up to 800MB/s, making it significantly faster than standard UHS-I microSD cards. It’s only available in a single config for folks who want to double their Switch 2’s storage, and it’s available at a solid price right now.

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.
