The Switch 2 has 256GB of internal storage, so a microSD card is likely something you’ll need eventually for storing more games without having to constantly manage your library. With first-party Nintendo games typically running between 10 and 25GB, and larger third-party games reaching 50GB, a 256GB card should store anywhere from 5-20 additional games.
The Switch Online subscription includes a variety of features like cloud saving, online play, plus classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles. The Expansion Pack adds games from the GameCube, Game Boy Advance, N64, and Virtual Boy, and includes features for modern games, notably the Switch 2 upgrade packs for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
