I'm pretty sure I remember 4 player GBA Mario Kart in a pub once... but then we were pretty cool.

 

We played that everyday for two years on my school journey on the bus. So good. The trick was to lurk in third so you got a star on the last lap

According to a Nintendo Representative, the system can actually hold SDXC cards up to 2TB, not just 256GB.

 

Not that anyone is going to actually buy a 1-2TB SD card anytime soon...  but it's good for the future I suppose.

 

Spoiler

If you're worried that a 1-2TB SD card will be super expensive.  You're right.  But microSD cards prices drop insanely fast in a matter of years.

 

In 2006 for instance, the 4gb microSD was released and originally cost $99.  Within 3 years it cost about $6 online and $12 in store.

 

A 512GB SDXC card cost $800 upon release in 2014, $400 in 2015, then dropped to $200 around late January 2016.  The release of a these newer microSD cards will cause the price to tank further, possibly by another 50%, sometime this year. (This is a standard SD type, not micro, though.)

 

Till then.. 64gb-128gb are the sweet spot for microSD card prices, so your best bet is getting one of them if you want some extra space.

 

The reason people assumed it could only support up to 256gb is due to the fact that microSDXC (not standard SDXC) currently only has that capacity or less on the mass market.  But when the 1-2tb variants releases later on, they will be compatible with the system.

Well, if somebody jailbreaks it so it can run XBMC and the like, it'd be a pretty formidable media unit. Watch your movie on TV, OOPS HAVE TO SHIT, take the screen out, watch while you do your poo-poo. Living in the future.

 

It's a shame Nintendo rather choke on their own vomit than pay a few bucks to license codecs.

I have ordered the case from their store. It comes with a screen protector if you are of the paranoid kind. And not expenfusive!!

 

For a fraction of a second I was tempted to get a extra pair of Joycons. In the end you get two extra controllers to properly play bomberman or Mario Kart battle mode with 3 friends. And it stops the need to taking the joycons off when playing on the tv.

But I am already poor enough thanks.
