Oh, and I didn't mention that I got a couple of things yesterday, delivered from ebay orders. I got a 2TB Western Digital external hard drive (on sale for $65 new), and a dual USB to micro-B USB Y-cable (for $5), so I can use it with the Wii U and its low-power USB ports. It seems to work, and this means I'll pretty much not have Wii U storage pace issues ever again.
Meanwhile, with the Switch, your only option are very expensive large micro SD cards; you'd pay at least double this amount of money for like a tenth the amount of storage space. On what is a now a popular system, with what will probably be a large game library, with some games that require large installs... this is not good! I understand that a docked-only hard drive support thing would be limiting on portability, and that's unfortunate, but that'd be far better than leaving things as they are and just expecting people to buy expensive large micro SD cards.
I mean, with the 3DS and PSP the 64GB cards I have in those systems are more space than I'll probably ever use, because of the smaller size of games for those platforms (and that I usually buy physical copies of games when I can; most digital games I have for both, and the 3DS especially, are digital-only games, which are usually smaller), but Switch games are much bigger. Just SD cards isn't enough.
