Topic: Bigger GameCube Memory Cards Might be on the Way

[Ian Sane]

"I expect EA Sports save files to expand to 900 blocks. Because, just in case you didn't know... EA is bloatware."

I guess you could describe EA as the console equivalent of Microsoft.  Except that Microsoft is the console equivalent of Microsoft.

How much of the PS2 memory cards do EA Sports games take up?  I imagine it would be comparable.

I think the ideal thing for Nintendo to do with the N5 is just use SD cards for saves.  No adapter, just straight out SD ports on the console and people can buy whatever size they want.  By then I assume the smaller cards will be easily affordable.  Best of all by using SD cards it would make it easy for people to store saves on their PC or trade saves over the internet.  But then maybe I should shut-up in case Nintendo is reading this as they would probably not like the idea of people storing saves on PCs for whatever reason.

thank god, I was gonna go out and pick up that Interact 16x.  I read some reviews on that, and it was pretty bad.  I hate how these sports game require these insane memory requirements.  I picked up MVP baseball, and it says it needs 160 blocks for franchise (which I have on my 251) but for some reason it won't let me save.  Any ETA when this is coming out? I've only been playing the quick games lol

I fell kind of left out because I had 2 59's and then I bought the interact 16x and I'm still not out of room for my 31 games and I also have the limited edition AR with the 16x card so I've been set for life for a while now...

Oh god damnit, my 59 is full and my 251 has like 6 blocks left, and i have to get a new 251 in the next week, why can't this new memory card be out NOW. My feelings for Nintendo have been very negative lately... argh.

WHY DUN GCN HAV HARDDRIVE LETS ALL BUY AN XBOX

I have 2 59s (one I got w/ AC) and a 251.  A 59 and 251 are nearly full (I use the 59 for backup) and the other 59 is free.

But I had to delete my Pikmin save ages ago when I only had a 59.

I'm glad Nintendo is finally getting around to releasing a bigger MC.  Chances are I won't need one.

Oh man lets see I have 3 251s and then 4 59s including my Animal crossing card. The reason for all the cards is because I have two younger siblings who each want their own season in Madden. Unless I buy a game that needs over 251 then I'm not gonna bother picking this up. Two of my 59 cards are empty.

[ThePerm]

hmm, if they decide to not rerlease tyhe sd adapter here..then maybe they'll release mc1000s for animal crossign 2

[Metroid masked]

bout time but i hope this isnt one of the new killer acessories for the cube.

[Bill Aurion]

It's set for June 8th at a price of 30 dollars...

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Do I get this new fat card, or do I get the GameSaves Memory Manager? HMMMMMMMM

If the picture on the demo disk is to be believed .... the new cards are white.... err polar ..... err artic....err whatever N likes to call #FFFFFF

So grey, black, white
