In this way, do you have to format Micro SD card for Nintendo switch?
You are required to format a micro SD card before using it with a Nintendo Switch. All data on stored on the micro SD before formatting will be lost and cannot be recovered. Backup any data you want to keep on the micro SD card before formatting it. The micro SD card will not be usable with any other device.
One may also ask, what format does Nintendo switch use? With SDXC support (and supposedly requiring a system update when you insert a microSD card, no matter what size), I don't think you'll need to do any formatting. As it is, FAT32 is used by SDHC and earlier microSD cards, but SDXC uses exFAT.
Also to know, why won't my micro SD card work in my switch?
Verify that the microSD card is compatible with Nintendo Switch. If the microSD card label indicates it is SDXC, reinsert the microSD card back into the console. Then power on Nintendo Switch and be sure to perform a system update. Important: The system menu version will not change after this update.
Will any memory card work with switch?
The Switch is compatible with SDXC cards, which is backwards compatible with the older, smaller capacity SD and SDHC cards. So pretty much any microSD card you've got lying around from an old Android phone or a digital camera should work in the Switch.
