SanDisk SDSDG-2048-A11 2GB SD Gaming Reviews
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 directly from it if your playing a game which is a little inconvenient. 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. But the one good thing is the space on the memory card means you'll probably only have to buy one for a pretty long time before having to get another one and yes even though price is pretty step for this card. So all I can say for this item is if you're looking to make more room on your Wii console memory this card is a good backup to use. One other thing though if you go for the regular Sandisk memory card you cannot get the Sandisk HC card one these cards will not work on the Wii console I had a friend who bought one to try it out and found out this way. 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.
IMPORTANT: Although it seems like a great idea to have a huge memory card to hold Virtual Console games, WiiWare, and save files, these types of files CANNOT be used directly from SD card storage in the Wii. If SD cards that hold more than 8 GB are ever sold, the Wii will not support them unless Nintendo updates its firmware to do so. I'm writing this review to clear up any confusion regarding SD cards for the Nintendo Wii:. 2. 3. They must be in the Wii system memory to be played, and Virtual Console and WiiWare games can be re-downloaded at any time, so a large SD card will not be particularly useful for this type of data. What an SD card will be useful for is moving save files from Wii to Wii, storing music and photos that can be accessed by the Wii, and storing special types of data that certain games(Like Super Smash Brothers) will allow you to store on an SD card rather than system memory.
1. I hope this helped some of you. The Wii can support up to 8 GB cards, so go buy an 8 GB card for this same price if you want to spend this much.
4. Any brand of SD card will work in the Wii; more reliable brands like Sandisk will also be more reliable in the Wii. Now go buy a regular SD card for cheap.
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 this writing). Unless Nintendo updates the Wii firmware to allow for save file and Virtual Console/WiiWare gameplay straight from the card, a large SD card won't be very useful.
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. Fair price for the right part from the folks you trust. Plug and play, or shop till you drop. Cool things like how quick it was to see when I bought it and for how much. No tax, no shipping, no hassle, and all the cool features that go with Amazon. I paid $24.99 for this card. These cards have speed ratings and this one is not listed.
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. As others have said before me, there's no need to buy a special white SD card. Don't be fooled by this "high-performance gaming card"; get a regular blue SanDisk SD card and save your money for accessories. That said, I do find that SanDisk's cards are more reliable than PNY or other cheap cards.
Once the games are transferred to your card, you can't play them until you transfer them off of your card and back onto your wii hard drive, so don't be fooled. one, this product is not really required to get the most out of your wii like it says in the description. So after all of that, if you still want a SD memory card, don't get this one. The wii comes with a built-in, albeit small, hard drive for game saves. There are sales on these things every week at bestbuy or office max or circuit city or any electronics store you can name. The only reason to get a SD memory card is to save games you download from the wii store, and even then, you have to download them to your wii and then transfer them to your card. This is overpriced because it is the only "officially" licensed card.
