You can get legit 128 gb cards for $40, a quick search on Amazon would confirm this.
I got lucky and got a sandisk 128 gb for $29 on Ebay and it's legit, just didn't have the adapter with it but I already have an extra one.

Just happened to me the same with a Kingston Micro SD 32Gb that I bought on a Cell phone repair shop.
When I move my 12Gb backup of my old card, it didn't work on my n3DS.
Tested with that program and only 8Gb were available, the rest would go corrupt.
Bought an Integral 32Gb and it work flawlessly.
Lessen learn, no more Kingston

The lesson should be, be careful where you buy your SD cards from. Also, take the fake Micro SD card back and demand a refund. Kingston and Sandisk may be the most targeted fakes on the market, but they can hide them as any brand.
Wait just a second, you wouldn't happen to have MenuHax installed would you?
because SDiconhax can cause that exact behaviour you are describing.
Edit: Seems I was right, it was a problem with MenuHax.
All of you were picking on him for getting a bad SD card and that's probably not even the problem he's having. It's not cool to bandwagon something when you're not even sure it's true. It's helps to not assume everyone is an idiot.
And yes, yes, it does.

I recently upgraded to a 128GB card as well because my collection grew too large; the slower home load is normal. Went from a 64GB Samsung EVO+ to a 128GB Samsung EVO Select. Also for anyone looking at these cards in particular PRO and EVO Select are their latest generation of card although the performance difference between them is negligible but the price may also be too depending on sales.
For those saying "Nintendo didn't expect someone to fill up more than 32 GB of digital games", I have to say, with around 150 legit eShop games bought, i filled up a 64GB card way before I was able to downgrade the console.
And, while the OP could have already solved the issue, it's better to buy "big" brands for this. While the cards could still be defective, you know they are most likely to work.

Probably why people saying that is cause they never listed a Size over 32GB on their site, or that the system only accepts fat 32 Format. Also i must ask, are the games you own, digitial release only games or also Retail games?
Most digital release games don't have large data size, like the retail games do. To be honest i do wonder what the largest file size for the carts they use is. NDS max size were 256MB and i think GBA were 32 MB while Snes were 6 (8 is possible but was never used according to some, same story for sega, Pier solar is 8MB on genesis)
Anyway. If you are buying digital only games, most likely you wouldn't fill it up so fast as opposed to reatail games. I dunno, is just my guest based on observations.
I buy everything digital. So yeah, many of them are retail releases as digital games.Probably why people saying that is cause they never listed a Size over 32GB on their site, or that the system only accepts fat 32 Format.

Nintendo never made tests probably because they originally were not planning to sell retail games on the eShop. I remember being so happy because they released New Super Mario Bros. 2 on the eShop, and after it, many more came. I could go all digital with my console, so I just sold the three physical games I had bought, and started buying every single good game on the eShop.
For my Wii U it's the same. I bought a 1TB drive just for filling it up with digital games.
And for those who like physical stuff, of course. They would never even reach 16GB if they bought only exclusive digital games, even if they were that many.

Yeah that what i was saying, Digital only games are intended to be small file size to allow faster downloads. Retail games can be bought from eshop, but most likely have a size problem. (metal gear solid 3d) But is a option, To be honest buying all games digitally is conveinent, but hogs space for other content. I never bought a vita game retail, and i filled a 32GB card cause i buy discount games with Playstation plus. (Most were free) So you can expect retail games to be the main reason why your card is filled faster. While VC games being smallest, DSIware, second, 3DS eshop being third, and Retail largest. That is what i mean, is just observation.I buy everything digital. So yeah, many of them are retail releases as digital games.

Most likely if you want more space, Buy multiple Sd cards just like harddrives, or storage devices or buy retail games and digitial only. Again, i think nintendo has set a clear standard for what they inteneded.

At least Nintendo used a standard storage medium and didn't lock us out of using higher capacities entirely, my wallet aches when I think about the 64GB card I upgraded my Vita to.
Well i mean, yeah that sucks on the vita, so does the encrypted file system. But anti hack prevention? If not hacking the system would prevent that then it was our own fault. Besides, i thought we was done with memory cards 2 generations ago with game cube and ps2, O_O
The history repeats itself, Video game crash of 1983, happening again in 2018? ET Returns with a remake? VIDEO GAME POSSIBLE?
NO!
We can't let that happen.

I think Sony shot itself in the foot for the handheld market with two consecutive flops (PSPgo before this which also had a Sony card format although it wasn't as bad as the Vita cards) but they'll stay afloat with their PS4 money certainly. Nintendo is crushing it in the handheld market and has been for years so there's no chance of any crash in the industry in my eyes but I hope Sony does try again with a new handheld but that future is looking grim. I can't imagine a world without a Nintendo handheld competitor and I love the PSP and Vita, I hope they come back with a no gimmick handheld with some proper processing power and expandable storage.
Sony has just recently critcized the handheld industry so I don't think there'll be a 3rd Sony handheld. They basically abandoned the Vita a few years ago. Nintendo has won the handheld console war although they still have competition with mobile phones.
They did what they thought would prevent hackers from exploiting their system, to say it didn't work, it did. But it also cost the user fanbase to decline for the vita cause of it. The memory card is overpriced for a low capacity storage compared to the content being large in file size. The system suffers from not having enough support. Most games are ports from existing one instead of just being a stand alone game. (Crossbuy and crossplay is highly encouraged) So buying most games on ps4 is done while ignoring the vita.
While least those memory cards gaurntee working, with no problems, where nintendo, have more problems with hackers, and more support for the system, with games and content. But is just a matter of perspective, next mobile consonle won't have the same thing 3ds has, will mostly be encrypted data and probably built instorage or special case memory cards. Who knows.

The one I got works out to be just over $30, plus we pay VAT in England which is +20% of the original price which makes it £23.75
I think Microsoft and Sony may be heading down that path, but Nintendo is clearly avoiding it. The Atari ET game was unplayable, but so are many recent games for PSBone and PC. There was a Batman game recently that was recalled due to being literally unplayable.
