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.
