The site says that Hori’s 32GB card,  sold for ¥7,900 ($70 USD), is astronomically high when compared to other cards. It points to a “high end” Sandisk 32GB card for ¥2,690 ($23 USD).

The Switch supports microSDXC cards up to 2TB in size. We’ve found 256GB cards listed between $90-220 AUD here in the country.
