Just buy from Amazon or somewhere reputable

You better make sure you really buy from amazon and not an amazon marketplace seller. Only the former is even possibly reputable.

Not me problem if their shit corrupts.
SanDisk is the most faked brand out there, it's a fact.

Not if you buy from a real store, fact.

Well, if someone wants to buy a Nuntendo Swetch or a Sandısk SD Card from Alibobo, there they go.
Everything can be faked, and the more popular and recognized the brand is, the more it will be faked.
Of course, brands tend to be popular and recognized when they make good products.

And you can still find those overpriced things on the shelves of surprising number of stores.

The only things that matter here are they decent cards, which sandisk usually is, and are they a good price, which these nintendo licenced ones usually aren't.

How long are stupid ignorant parents going to be an excuse? In 2017 they should at least understand sd cards with all the cellphones and stuff.

If you're buying from shady online "retailers" maybe. Walk into a B&M store like Best Buy or Walmart, it's gonna be absolutely fine. And that's not what they mean by trusted anyway, trusted assumes you've got a real card and then it won't fail out of nowhere. You buy from flybynightsd.net, you get what you deserve.

not when there's a known track record of these things being well overpriced compared to the same card without a nintendo branding

They don't, they probably get help at the store for that as well. And don't forget a lot of phones and tablets lack expandable storage, including every iOS device which hold a huge part of the market share.

SanDisk trusted?
It's the most faked brand there is...

I wonder if Nintendo brings a 265 GB one.

No, that would be Kingston

Kingston are so commonly faked that fake cards even slip into legitimate shipments.

N3DS came with no charger lol and it didnt have a charger which "comes with your phone"

exactly, nintendo's excuse for passing this expense was that chances are you already have a 3ds/ds so it was able to cut its costs and pass it to the consumer.

and most phones or devices these days use usb c chargers, id be surprised if they don't try the same again.

In all fairness, I barely see Kingston SDs in shops here.

I have to admit, I fell for this when I bought my first memory card for a GC, didn't realize the Wii (?) one would have just as easily worked.. duh.... don't know what I was(n't) thinking.

Can't wait for Nintendo to pull shit like this over a logo:

read 100MB/s, write 90MB/s, so it's a SanDisk Extreme 256G

Any chance that these nintendo/sandisk microsdxc card will have the microsdxc update on the cards instead of having to download the update?

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.
