Hi everyone, this might seem like a stupid question to some, but I honestly have no idea. Will my SD card that comes with the 3DS have enough memory to download the 10 SNES and GBA games? Or should I consider buying a new one? I JUST got my 3DS the other day at walmart and haven't downloaded anything onto it yet if that helps.

It should be. NES games aren't amazingly big in size. They're apparently under 1mb each on the Wii, so you could fit thousands on the standard SD card. Whilst I don't really know the typical sizes of GBA games, i'm sure you'll be find with those too. I would hold out on buying a new SD card until the GBA games are released and you've had a go at fitting them onto the SD card. I suspect you'll be perfectly fine though, as they wont come close to the sizes of particular DSiWare and 3DS software that you're expected to download.

GBA game carts had a 32MB max and NES games use less than 4MB's, so with the 2GB card that comes with it you should have more than enough space.:D

2GB is plenty of space. NES games shouldnt take much space at all. The GBA games will obviously take more space but even those arent gonna do alot of damage. My 1Gb GBA rom card holds 10 full GBA games, many of them being these free ones. Yeah I know we arent suppose to mention those things but im using it as a size reference, I own the real carts too, its easier to carry 1 around than 10.

I had an assumption it would all be fine, but the GBA games were what I was mostly wondering about. Thanks everyone so much for the responses, I'm glad I didn't go out and buy one.
