Here's the best SDXC cards you can get for The switch

With the Nintendo Switch having around 32GB memory, a lot of fans are worried that the included space won't be enough for how big games are becoming -- especially if the system is supposed to run expansive games like Skyrim or Breath of the Wild.

As a basis of comparison, let's consider that PS4 and Xbox One games tend to be around 15GB or more in size. Even if the games available on the Switch are a fraction of that size, it's easy to see that a lot of players will be having to clear out space on their system pretty often. That is...unless they pick up a good SDXC card to expand their storage space for even more games. 

While it's most likely that the Switch's games won't take as much memory as games we're used to seeing on console, players who are looking to have an expansive Switch library may want to consider picking up one of these SDXC cards for the future. 

In no particular order, here are the best budget SDXC cards around that you can pick up for your device without breaking the bank.
