From Go Nintendo

The card has to be reformatted to FAT32 in order to work.

Thought this was interesting since Nintendo said only cards up to 32GB would work, though I highly doubt anyone would ever fill up all 128 gigs

lots of SDHC compatible devices can use SDXC cards when formatted to FAT32

Quadrangulum · Aug 28, 2012

Neat. I bought a 64GB card for my camera and I was wondering if it would work with my 3DS.

However, I don't even have 128GB of games on my PC at any one time so I can't imagine that I'd ever need this kind of extravagance.

GDGF · Aug 28, 2012

Holy fuck.

I need to buy one of these bad boys and never have to worry again.

massoluk · Aug 28, 2012

That's neat, but I wouldn't know what to use it for in the 3DS, with the meager download offerings (right now that is) and no movie support, unless Pokemon anime offering is in the work for eshop or something.

CrunchinJelly · Aug 28, 2012

4GB is more than enough for me, thanks.

Saint Gregory · Aug 28, 2012

Meh... I don't think that I'll ever fill the 32GBs I bought last year.

Hale-XF11 · Aug 28, 2012

That's an amazing amount of blocks!

As tempting as it would be to get a larger card, I still have over 173,000 blocks left on my 32GB card, so I think I'll be ok for a while yet.

Finally, my entire 100gb collection of music in 1 portable non-iPod location.

Somnid · Aug 28, 2012

Can you actually read/write to all the blocks?

Vic · Aug 28, 2012

Was wondering if it was possible to use FAT32 formated SDXC cards with the 3DS. Glad to see that it does works.

Madao · Aug 28, 2012

hehe this is nice. i might turn my regular 3DS into my default music player when i get the XL. this much space is almost unreal.

snoopeasystreet · Aug 28, 2012

that's a lot of eshop.

I found it takes a long time to load playlists and folders though if you have a lot of songs. Although the player itself is pretty nice, the loading times are brutal.

Kouriozan · Aug 28, 2012

Woah 128 Go?
This is insane but nice to know it is supported.

chertipros · Aug 28, 2012

I think 32gb is more than enough for the average person

I believe NSMB on DS was less than 50MB so that's probably far from the average 3DS game, lol.

I had my whole DS collection (~125 games) on an 8GB SD card for my flash card, so that's averaging 64 MB a game.

If Wii U used SDXC will that make hard drives an option rather than necessity I wonder

LuchaShaq · Aug 28, 2012

Vitacat said:
Yeah, just might...? I paid $80 for 32GB on Amazon.

Still lovin' my Vita, but the memory card prices are painful. Plus, we're limited to 32GB maximum right now. Can't blame Sony for wanting to protect itself from hacking after what happened with PSP, but yeah, Vita memory is expensive as hell.

If proprietary memory had ANYTHING to do with security rather than gouging their biggest fans their cards would be cheaper than the generic stuff. Their current pricing incentivises people to go out and try to hack the vita into an r4 style hack.

Weren't Memory Sticks always considerably more expensive than SD cards, despite the fewer number of devices that actually used them? I think that Sony just has a mad hard-on for overpricing their proprietary memory formats.

Kokonoe · Aug 28, 2012

That will certainly be nice when they start adding more digital titles to the shop.

But not selling enough consoles to support them. Boom....

Baconsammy · Aug 28, 2012

What I'm happy/impressed with is that my 15 dollar 16 gig memory card runs games slightly faster than off the 3DS retail carts (referring to NSMB2). Yet my 100 dollar 32 gig proprietary mem card from Sony loads games slower than off of retail carts. It doesn't compute!

I said dayum. Unless Nintendo releases every further 1st party 3ds game on eshop in additional to retail, there is no need for that much space.

Nintendo just confirmed they will, and a lot of 3rd party 3DS games are gonna go digital same day as retail too.

Drago · Aug 28, 2012

RedSwirl said:

Is there a list? As far as I'm aware I don't think any 3rd party has announced digital versions along their retail copies. It's just Nintendo so far who will be showing full support for digital releases going forward

ffdgh · Aug 28, 2012

Thats a whole lot of space XD. My 16gb sd should be enough for the time beingho t.

Hale-XF11 · Aug 28, 2012

Pilotwings, being as small as it is, is the perfect candidate for re-release on the eShop with extra stuff + DLC, like some place else to go that's not Wuhu Island.

DeVeAn · Aug 28, 2012

Very cool, Man tempted to go 100% DD on 3DS now. I said DAYUM!

There's a short list somewhere. It was during one of the previous briefings from Nintendo, may have been a Nintendo Direct.

It has an sd reader, that's my point. If you have 128gb of sd card in it, you might not need an external hdd

Yeah, wouldn't need one in that case. Would save clutter and maybe load faster too. Not sure how SDXC compares with USB.

Auron_Kale · Aug 28, 2012

Awesome. I've planned on getting NSMB2 off the eshop rather than buying a cartridge and though I have plenty of space, it's nice to know that should I ever get a bigger card (as well as a 3DSXL in the future) that I can use a card like this if I go solely DD.

That's not true!

There's at least 200 MB worth of gameplay in there!

megarockexe · Aug 28, 2012

Blocks are kind of redundant at that point. They were fine when people had to worry about 128 KILOBYTES of save storage. Now, why?

You know the ones that indie developers make for them, and then they take their IP rights because of the agreement they made.

Same here. All that's missing is purchases being tied to an account instead to the system.

It should. Already works with the Wii.

Oersted · Aug 29, 2012

neat. will give it a try. someday.

Vic · Aug 29, 2012

Wait, this trick won't work with the Wii U because the FAT32 format doesn't support files bigger than 4GB. Nintendo might get around this limitation by splitting their backup format but I really doubt they'll do something like that.
