The game cards are read-only. Extra data and saves go to either system memory or on a Secure Digital card. This is why saves are account-specific. Some games allow only one save per account. To circumvent this, you can just go ahead and make another account on the system. Also saves are device-specific too. Only way to transfer data at the moment is to use Nintendo Save Data Cloud service. This means you should get a large SDXC for your system from the start. I recommend sizes from 256GB and up. *

PROTIP: Use archive instead of delete when freeing up space on your system. Note that delete and archive do NOT remove save files. *

Also to my understanding the game card sizes go upto 32GB right now. There has been rumours of 64GB coming too. This is probably possible to come with a future system update. I base this assumption to the fact that to use my SDXC in the system in the first place required a system update. *

Game sizes vary though. A game can be 15GB digitally and only 1GB physically (Zelda BotW) . 4.8GB digital vs 121MB physical (Super Mario 3D All-Stars). Nintendo's own games tend to take less space in general. Bioshock Infinite is 21GB digitally and 17GB physically. Super Mario Odyssey is 5.6GB digital 386MB physical. *

Did i mention physical copies of games tend to be cheaper than digital copies... They can cost less and can save space for you (in most cases). Buying physical whenever possible is a win-win situation for you. *

Langrisser 1+2 takes 0.0MB of space physically. Digital would be 1.6GB. *

One must get at least a 512GB SDXC before they even turn on their switch. *
