Hardware Recommended MicroSD capacity

[BigPapa]

I got my new 3DS today and quickly got rid of the hideous AC cover plates It came with an 8GB MicroSD. I plan to play some games and maybe watch a video now and then. How large an SD should I get? Is 32GB plenty? I don't know how much space the game saves, etc. take up. I got a 32GB for my original 3DS XL. Thanks.

If you got the HHD 3ds you wouldn't be able to use the CFW's.

It depends, would you buy on the E-Shop often?

In this situation, more is always better.

True enough. Better to have and not need, I guess.

Purchased an O3DS last week and didn't come with sd card. So I got 5 various capacity 8GB-32GB and microSDHC + SDHC (dont think you will be dissappointed with a 32GB but as above more is better). You could have 1 dedicated to movies etc etc.
It pays to have multiples imo.

Honestly, even though I almost never use it all, I buy a 32 gig class 10 from sandisk for $12. Can't go wrong with that.

What sweis12 said; I got a 32 GB-size Class 10 microSDHC card (though it's a Patriot-brand one rather than SanDisk), and I never regretted it.

There's also a thread here that claims it's possible to get a 64+ GB SDXC card working on a 3DS system!

Theoretically: the sky's the limit.
