Carlucci Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 New card with 1019 blocks coming this Spring. Apparently the 251 block card wasn't large enough to hold some sports game data. Article No word on pricing yet or official date. Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Yeah, I'd heard the horror stories of some sports titles requiring massive mem card swaps during the small mem card days, I thought the 251 had eliminated them all though. Go figure . Dunno if I need one of these puppies or not, though data consolidation might be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger9777 Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Doesn't anyone think it's odd that Nintendo is just now releasing this? Do you think that maybe Nintendo has a game that might require some uber memory in the works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htide Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Does anyone know what happened to the SD card adaptor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Turns out you can't use the SD card adapter for gamesaves. From lik-sang.com: We have to mention that we hoped the SD Card Adapter would allow us to use standard SD Cards as a replacement of GameCube Memory Cards. A few details of released information (for example the description on Nintendo America's web site) opted for that, and other factors (like the simple logic that Nintendo wouldn't just let the profitable business of Memory Cards go) opted against it. We really hate to be the messenger of such news, but it's confirmed now: Nintendo didn't like the idea and the SD Cards will NOT replace our good old GameCube Memory Card 59 and 251.

Romier S Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Glad to hear it. I'll be picking one up for sure. I don't really play much in the way of sports games but I'm constantly having to move saved from each of my 251 cards (or erase them all together). One big old card would be great.

blackcalx Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 If Animal Crossing filled up an entire 59 block card how much do you think the sequel will take? While I can't justify buying the new card based on my current storage needs I doubt it will prevent me from buying one anyway, just in case.

The Daisy Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'm just bummed that I'm sitting on 3 mem card 59's and one 251 at this point... and still need a bit more space. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
