The wii is backwards compatible with gamecube games correct? Then do i still need to buy a memory card? The wii has built in memory like the xbox, x360 and ps3. Say for example I want to pick up windwaker for my wii. Do I need a memory card to play it? Or can I save in the wii's built in memory. It would kinda suck to have to spend around 100 bucks on a GC control, 512mb memory card and the wind waker.
By the way, I saw an 8mn memory card with a 10dollar price tag. Is 8mb really any good when it comes to saving games? I think it has around 118 blocks of memory, is each zelda save 1 block? Is 8mb not worth cheaping out on, should I just spend the 30bucks on a 512 one?
I just switched over from a lifetime of sony to a nintendo wii, and I honestly don't see myself going back to sony. I don't know too much about this stuff, lol. Help me out! :D
Cant save Gamecube on hardrive, and 118 blocks will be enough for 3 massive games like animal crossing or harvest moon. You should be fine but its really up to you.
Is that, 1 save per massive game? Because I usually like saving multiple files. I got the zelda colletors disc, MM and OoT both have 4 save slots right? Im gonna use all 8 + windwaker save slots. Is this possible with an 8mb (118 blicks) memory card?
lol the wording in this topic is exetremely confusing. The games you mentioned can easily fit on a 59 block memory card. most games don't take alot of space. If you plan on buying a lot of gamecube games, then you may need a 251 block card. but at least 5-10 games could probably fit on a 59 block. (although it depends.)

5-10 games as in 1 save file per game? Like i said, I usually have multiple save files. Prince of Persia games i had 15-30 save file, KoTOR 1 and 2 i had 90-120 save files per game. Good old xbox and internal memory. So your saying 59 blocks can store 5-10 games, and if an 8mb card has 118 blocks, what're we talkin here. Is it good enough for around 3-5 gamecube games with maybe 5-10 save files on each game? Anyone?

I have 20 GC games, all with multiple save files, and all of them will fit onto a 251 Memory Card. BTW, most Nintendo-developed games (Mario, Zelda, Metroid) only allow you to have 3 save files per Memory card. Zelda WW, Super Mario SunShine and Metroid Prime 1&2 all have this limitation.
Yeahhh I'm gonna stick with the 10 dollar 118 block card. I don't plan on getting really more than 4 or 5 cube games for my wii. I just want TWW, the zelda collectors disc, ssb melee, and a couple others. Hopefully 118 blocks will be enough. Anyone disagree?
First off people, the Wii does not have a hard drive. The Wii does have internal memory. But to save GC game saves you have to have a CG memory card. Nothing more to discuss.

Nothing more to discuss huh. Clearly you did not go over this thread.
[QUOTE="ZumaJones07"]hmm... if you plan on playing cube games you missed out on...go big if not, go medium? :P Im not necessarily going back to gc games i missed out. If that were the case, i would indeed have a long list. But I only have maybe 4 or 5 games i want to go back to. Do you still think I need to go big with the memory card?
