A Nice Memory Card For Back-Up But No True Use For Anything Else:
I got this because like so many other people I thought this would help a lot with my virtual games and save games as well. It does clean up a lot of the clutter on the Wii if you're not playing a certain game and want to remove the data from your Wii's memory but don't want to take a a chance and lose any data when you do erase it from the Wii's memory. Also like a few reviewers have said you cant move saved game data from the gamecube memory cards to the Wii's SD card nor can you load saved game data... more info
The Whole Scoop on SD cards for the Wii:
I'm writing this review to clear up any confusion regarding SD cards for the Nintendo Wii: 1. Any brand of SD card will work in the Wii; more reliable brands like Sandisk will also be more reliable in the Wii. 2. There is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between this card and a standard SD card from Sandisk, except for price. The only reason you should buy this over a standard 2 GB card is if you're willing to pay about five times more for the "Wii" label (2 GB Sandisk cards are about $6 on Amazon as of... more info
Peace of mind:
I paid $24.99 for this card. No tax, no shipping, no hassle, and all the cool features that go with Amazon. Cool things like how quick it was to see when I bought it and for how much.
These cards have speed ratings and this one is not listed. What is listed is that is specked for the Wii, sold by Amazon and your are done. Others that sell cheaper cards, sell this same card for more.
Plug and play, or shop till you drop.
Fair price for the right part from the folks you trust.
Don't Bother with Wii-Branded Card:
As others have said before me, there's no need to buy a special white SD card. The Wii simply uses the SD card as a data backup; access speed is not a concern, because the Wii doesn't use it to improve processing power or for real-time game saves. That said, I do find that SanDisk's cards are more reliable than PNY or other cheap cards. Don't be fooled by this "high-performance gaming card"; get a regular blue SanDisk SD card and save your money for accessories.
