More from The Switch 2 is here: everything you need to know about Nintendo’s new console
The original Switch capped the number of screenshots you could save to a meager 10,000, but for the Switch 2 Nintendo has increased the limit to 30,000, according to NintendoSoup. That’s split between the console’s system memory and a microSD card, with each having a capacity of 15,000 images.
The Switch 2 can also store up to 6,500 30 second videos — 1,500 in its system memory, and an additional 5,000 on a microSD card.
