Well, screw Nintendo and their double dipping by shorting us on storage and then allowing game publishers to sell us game-key cards that take up storage space forcing us to buy this overpriced media.
Express is the new standard and is expensive in comparison to the older SD cards. Most people buying these for Switch 2, which can't use the older cards.
Community Reviews
This 256GB Samsung P9 Express microSD card stands out as a relatively cheap way to add Switch 2 storage, especially for a name brand Micro SD Express card. The comments frame it as the same speed and specs as the Mario packaging deal, just cheaper, and note that Express cards are still pricey compared with older SD cards. It also looks well suited to Switch 2 and other compatible devices, with enough room for a few large games. The main concern is capacity, since modern titles can eat through 256GB quickly, making 512GB more appealing for heavier libraries. A practical pick if you want to double storage without paying for the larger size.
Common Questions (4)
256GB can cover a few large games, but modern titles can be 60GB+ and FFVII Remake is cited at about 100GB. Several comments note that a 256GB card is enough for doubling Switch 2 memory or for a setup with around 72GB free, but it can fill quickly if you install multiple AAA games.
$32.99 is described as the cheapest name-brand 256GB MicroSD Express price seen and cheaper than a prior $55 price point. It is also viewed as about $7 less than a similar Mario-branded front-page deal, making it a strong value for Express storage.
It works at Express speeds only in devices that support MicroSD Express, such as Switch 2. In older microSD-only devices it falls back to standard UHS-I behavior, so compatibility matters if you want the faster transfer rates.
It can be a good fit for devices that support MicroSD Express, including a Mini 5 Pro drone mention. If the device only supports standard microSD, it will still work as a UHS-I card, but you will not get Express speeds.

Back to this express card: I bought it and am returning the Mario branded one.

Other publishers have as well.
Like on the Xbox and Sony systems that have a disc and still need a large download the key cards are a compromise. At lleast you can resell them and loan them out, unlike a pure digital game.
Nintendo doesn't mandate any publisher use one or the other, so I'm unsure how offering a key card is a play on nostalgia and a money grab by them.
But all of this is an easy find upon research.

Switch 2 Cartridge games are slower than downloads – Tests confirm [overclock3d.net]
Now cite something that makes what you say make sense, since "all of this is an easy find upon research."
Of course other game manufacturers use cartridges. That has nothing to do with what I was saying. Cartridges are the 3rd slowest way to load games on the switch 2, behind the storage that is built into the console, and then the sd express card. I think you're dismissive and lack comprehension skills. Share something that's actual helpful. Just because other companies may do the same thing doesn't mean it's good Nintendo does it too.
