Add up the file sizes of the games that you want. Get a card that is larger than that sum.

I am using SX OS. I filled up my 64GB card once I copied 64GB to it.

Are there any other questions you have that could be best answered by yourself?

64gb because hdd support is coming
It may be coming but I wouldn't bet on it soon. The Sandisk 200GB card goes for about $60 on NewEgg and a little more in brick and mortar stores like walmart or best-buy. Get it and you'll have room for most of what you need without having to switch cards too often.

128 GB is fine enough
do you have to horde everything on a sd at once?

For me when im done i just remove it from the card itself

If money is no oprion go for the largest size you can get otherwise 128 is fine.

I can’t view the feedback due to me having a us account. I learned to check the feedback. Hopefully you will see the item you are looking to buy from this seller and that other buyers have NOT received a fake card. That seller though, seems to have been around for a while and seems to have positive feedback.

He has 53,000 positive feedback, 3 negative this year which are due to delayed delivery times. Seems pretty legit and super cheap compared to high street prices

i filled a 400gbs easily in 2 days so simple answer is as big as you can afford if you only plan on carrying the one card in the switch around.
otherwise just grab a bunch of them that offer the cheapest per gig, probably 128s?
you’ll be surprised how quick that space gets eaten up.

I got a 128GB microSD Card, mainly because I plan to use it for game updates(as I generally prefer physical media). 128GB Can be enough for some digital downloads depending on the size of said downloads, but if you plan to go all-digital, then 256GB+ should be considered over 128GB.

It's a very personal preference.
Do you like to have 2-3 games and focus on beating them? Low space card and delete them when completed
Do you like to have all kinds of games for all kinds of situations? One big card or a few cards always with you
In multiplatform games, do you prefer to play them on the go with your switch? One big card or a few cards always with you
Do you have a couple of games and one arcade type for quick play sessions? Big card

In my case i have the switch only for switch exclusives i like. 128gb is enough for me so far.
For anything multiplatform i play it on my GPD win 2. Pc master race :rofl2:

Personally I am rollin' with a 128GB. However, in the back of my mind, I wish I had a 400GB one. I feel as if I will indeed be needing that in the future. Since even small games require at least 300MB+ each, this can add up quite fast. But, like what everyone else is saying, it's up to what games you like.

SANDISK 200GB MICRO SD ULTRA 56 euros free shipping good deal ??
10 years waranty

Yeah, that sounds fine.

I recently upgraded to a 200 GB one (SanDisk) and that's plenty for me. Unless all third party games a la Wolfenstein 2 come to the system it should be fine, haha.
