I know with the old 3DS a class 4 and a class 10 doesn't have much difference, but what about the new 3DS? will faster MicroSD cards like 400x/ 600x have any noticeable performance improvements compare to a regular 200x class 10 card?
I've been looking into buying a 32gb samsung evo for $24 on amazon but am wondering if that's overkill... Games like MH4U are around 1.5 gb right?

The 32GB EVO is a solid card. I got one for a tablet and it is fast.
There is a huge difference between, say, a class 4 and a class 10 card. Just try and transfer a 2 GB file to each and you'll see.
Would the UHS 1-3 cards be overkill? Or for example Samsung pro which is up up to 90mb. It kinda sucks that Nintendo locked everything at a certain clock speed whether its the cpu or these memory cards. Unlike the PSP where some people had an advantage in loading speeds and what not whether it's online or solo (old psp's).
Unless I'm wrong.
The UHS cards are nice and the price difference isn't too insane. If you have USB 3.0 on your PC then you should invest in one. I can get up to 30mbps on those as opposed to 10mbps on a class 10.
But would it benefit the new 3ds? Not much info out there are speed tests for microsd on the N3DS
I doubt you will see any benefit from class 4 to 10 but who knows. 3ds boot times is already better on the n3ds and the icons load very fast. in game load times will be limited to the old 3ds unless the game is made to use the new hardware anyway.
also you can go above 32gb you just need to plug it into a pc and reformat it to fat32.
If someone makes a homebrew to find the read/write rates of the SD reader then we will know, but no one has yet.

Is it true that the max SD card space the New 3DS can handle is still 32 GB?
There's a thread already asking for such and app and question, I looked it up and replied to the thread myself a while back: https://gbatemp.net/threads/sd-read-write-benchmark-homebrew.370579/
Where did you hear this?
I cannot be true because the old 3DS can take up to 128GB/*256GB (untested) SD cards and has a maximum of around 315 slots for game/apps install channels, if anything the New 3DS should be capable of higher capacity memory cards despite the maximum capacity for Micro SD is currently only 128GB on the market.
exFat is useless to Nintendo until their developers create a game which uses a single file more than 4gb in size.officially it only supports 32gb cards. I heard that was due to the fact microsoft own the exfat format in some way and that is what cards higher than 32gb are supposed to use. formatting to fat32 works fine for the 3ds.

Come on kojima, port another mgs game.
that is no reason to not support it. simply supporting it means they can say it supports 128gb sd cards, and clear up the confusion.
why would they want to make piracy any easier?
eshop games work by unpacking tiny files into the sd card, no file is large enough to have a problem with fat32.
fat32 works for them, fat32 works for everyone who uses a good formating tool.
exfat just unlocks the 4gb single file size limit and some inconsequential stuff.
