Nintendo Switch 2 features new game cards that come with a sleek new red look and faster data reading speeds.

Nintendo dived into the details on how physical game cards will work for its upcoming console during today’s special Switch 2 Direct. In addition to a first look at these updated game cards, the company detailed how additional storage will work.

The Switch 2 will only be compatible with microSD Express Cards, meaning you won’t be able to bring your old storage cards over when you pick up the console this summer. SanDisk has its 128GB ($44.99), and 256GB MicroSD Express Cards ($59.99) already available on Amazon.
