1TB MicroSD express is not enough
>buy 1TB Micro SD Express for my switch 2 because I want to have all of my switch games on one card
>92gb space left on the card and there's still some games downloading
how the fuck am I not able to cram my Switch library on 1TB SD card? What the fuck how are these games taking so much fucking space? This is ridiculous.

nvme holds more for less cost. 1tb micro sd is $80-100 depending on the speed. 1tb nvme rapes it in speed and for $50-70.

problem is that whatever we use, it needs to be 2 or 4tb. the game filesizes are just too big. og xbox game is taking 4x more space on switch, when that console had many games under 2gb?? how tf is kotor 2 17gb, or SW battlefront collection 23gb, and not 2.3gb ?

No I'm not retarded. Games, even in "HD Remaster" version should not take more than 8gb, if they were properly optimized filesizes. But since they're not, they end up taking 20-30+ instead. Something like Ghost recon on xbox was 700mb, so it could've fit even on a CD of PS1 if they pushed.. I imagine if that game was "hd remastered" for switch it would be 15gb minimum, and the switch port of original game (no hd remaster) 8gb or something. Why? Because modern devs are lazy

This is actually solid advice anon, I may have to try follow it. I tried playing bloodstained the other day and it looks like it doesn't have unlocked FPS, so it doesn't get benefits from Switch 2. Though what's most criminal is how smooth the FPS is on Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, whilst on HW: Age of Calamity i'ts rubbish.

If you have link to the google drive sheet on list of games that got switch 2 boost, I'd like to take a look

1.7gb space left on SD, and some games not completed... but fortunately most of the important games are on the stick so I guess that's ok? 2tb would probably have made it more hassle free, but 2tb sd will probably cost 400-500$ in release lol

I also own a 1TB micro express card (that I essentially got it for free because Amazon screwed up with the order) but I just uninstall large single-player games once I'm done with them.
The sole massively huge game I have in my Switch library is the Hatsune Miku Project Diva as it's a near 50GB with all the DLCs (rhythm games being the kind of thing you play in short bursts once in a while) but otherwise Switch 1 & 2 games aren't too big for now, but that could change quickly with the upcoming titles such as Resident Evil 7-8-9, Final Fantasy VII remake and Dynasty Warriors Origins.

Speaking of feature requests (I hope someone will send this kind of stuff to nintendo so they can sort this kind of shit out), I wish games unloaded wouldn't be removed from groups. I just noticed a big problem that if I have games on groups, if I unload them from system they get removed from groups, and they don't get added (afaik) even if the game is reloaded? This is bad if you want to remove games from home screen, but it's also extra bad if you happen to own a switch 1 with which you're sharing some of your library with... so if you load a grouped game to another switch, it getting removed from the group is kinda cancer. This is the kind of shit nintendo needs to iron out and fast, imo

switch 2 has different kind of SD card format, you'll only be able to use the old card for album and stuff, but not to play games. If you want to play games from SD card (on switch 2) you need the new "Express" format of Micro SD cards (more expensive that "regular" Micro SD cards, because they're faster)

Why are you unloading virtual game cards at all? You should either leave them loaded onto your primary system or have them loaded on a secondary system. I know you CAN eject a virtual game card and not have it inserted into any console, but I don't know why you would ever need to/want to.

And enable online license check in user settings so you can play games loaded onto other systems when they aren't in use.

I think managing save files is only hurdle. Luckily most of them can be backed up to cloud, and those which can't, you can do "send save file" from switch 1 to switch 2 console nearby. However it becomes a problem if while you're gaming on switch 2, you decide to "desync" save file cloud with some game (so the cloud no longer has newest version of save file), and you decide to at some point increase the size of sd card, then you might have to do the backuping of local save on PC, and that becomes harder. It's better to re-sync all of the games within Switch 2 OS settings, before upgrading to bigger SD card. I'm now learning this the hard way, since there's a lot of more work than if I just had everything synced

I think you ignore these two files, probably to do with what dash reports of loaded games and some other stuff. They are present even on a formatted card. So basically if you backed up an older SD card to PC, and you move these files to new SD card, you don't move these two files from old SD card, and if you formatted the new SD card with switch, you don't replace these two files on new SD card with the versions of the backup SD card ...
