Are SanDisk Standard 2GB Secure Digital Card (not the Nintendo first party ones for the Wii) compatible for the Wii? I know they can show photos for the photo channel, but can they save games like the first party ones?

Yup. In fact the "official ones" aren't even made by Nintendo. They're just rebranded SanDisk cards!

DO NOT buy the 'Official Wii SD cards' by Sandisk. They overprice them for the unknowledgeable customers who think that only those specific cards work for the Wii. Any SD card will work as long as they are under 4GB I believe.

I recommend this one-

Under $10 for a Kingston 2GB SD card.

With an SD card you can save system/game save data, store movies that you have encoded, store MP3s for use in specific games such as Excite Truck (if you have recently updated your Wii then the Photo Channel no longer supports MP3 but another format), and store photos. There are also other things such as homebrew but I will not get into that.

Only SD's under 2.0Gb are compatible with the Wii.

2GB (GigaByte) actually, not 2Gb (Gigabit). Though more specifically the Wii only supports the older SD 1.1 standard, not the newer SDHC (SD 2.0) standard. There are a few 4GB cards that'll work since they belong to the former, though most are the latter (and all capacities above that are SDHC).

Has anyone tried a 4 GB non-SDHC card? I know SDHC ones definitely won't work (and why Nintendo didn't implement SDHC support in the Wii is beyond me), but there could be hope for those elusive 4 GB cards that don't follow the SDHC spec. (Then again, one of my PDAs wouldn't recognize any SD cards greater than 1 GB, with no amount of software tweaking being able to fix that. There could be a similar dilemma with the Wii, only with a 2 GB barrier...)
