External HDD it is when I get one. It'll be supported by Christmas, surely Nintendo?

The question is how. Because imagine what happens when you have the Switch docked with a USB HDD plugged in and a game running from the HDD, then you take it out.

I guess Nintendo could make it so that games can be downloaded and saved to an HDD, but can't be opened and played from them. The user would have to transfer the game to the system memory first, a la the Wii with SD cards.

 

Hmm... I was really planning on taking the Switch out and using it's portability from time to time... This is an actual problem for me. Not one that can't be overcome though.

I'll have to find out what game sizes are once the console releases and make a decision on extra storage then.
