I have games on a micro sd card on my Nintendo switch but the price of the sd cards compared to a usb stick is a lot. I was wondering if there is a cable with a soldered on sd card on one end and a female usb on the other so I can put the games on a usb stick and plug the other end of the cable into the micro sd slot on the nintendo switch ?

Short answer is no.

It is theoretically possible on a case by case basis if you have a good understanding of the specific SPI interface and build a custom adapter.

That is the kind of thing. Not sure if it would play the switch games from the usb end though

Aren't USB sticks just as expensive though? Shocked last time I looked for a 256gb+
