Finally! The perfect card for your large Gamecube savesJun 18, 2004
By Christian Wheeler
"Husband/Father/Gamer/Proud Geek"
It's about time Nintendo came out with a sizable memory unit that can hold large amount of information. Before now, one had to rely off-brand cards (such as the Nyko 8 MB) for large saves, and they were susceptible to data corruption and the loss of saves. A basic save of Madden, MVP Baseball, or any of the Sims games often took up most of a regular 251 block card. Saving more than that--a season or franchise--was only possible with off-brand cards whose record of reliability was tenuous at best. (Imagine saving a season of Madden and losing it when the card became corrupted). Nintendo-brand cards have an excellent record of stability and reliability. If you need a large card for saving sports or Sims games, this is perfect.

Beyond MemoryDec 09, 2004

It always seems to be what Nintendo finally did, other smaller companies did for Nintendo's Gamecube awhile ago. With Nintendo's Memory card 1019, it carries much more memory than it previous 251 memory block card. This device seems to be more crucial than imaginative, especially for die hard gamers of the Nintendo Gamecube. The memory works very well, and the trust that Nintendo carries on this card is great. Although with all different kinds of memory cards available for the Gamecube at all different prices, many will stick with cheaper memory cards that aren't always safe for Gamecube owners. Try to stick with Nintendo and this memory card, or the cheaper 251 block memory card. You really won't be sorry.
Overall: B+
Value: B

Easily corrupted when used in Wii.Feb 09, 2009
By KiWiSouP

I've had this card for several years, and it wasn't until I started using the backwards compatibility feature of the Wii to play GameCube games that my 1019 Memory Card became corrupted. Years of game save data gone, like that.
I did a little research, and found that this was very common. Many people were having the same exact problem and it was only with the Wii and only with the 1019 size memory card. My advice? Use a smaller size card or ONLY use it in the actual GameCube system and not the Wii.

Best Damn Thing I BoughtJul 05, 2004
I heard about a complaint on this card two weeks ago when it came out. It was about the card not accepting older games which definately isn't true why??? I have 70+ games now and every one of them went on except for F-Zero GX which was kinda strange since it's a game from Nintendo themselves. With 70 games and lots of them being older lower class titles all moving over fine theres nothing to worry about. Another thing I have 676 memory blocks left meaning I can buy some more games. Buy this if you own a Gamecube. Also look into buying the GBA Gamecube link cable wich is freakin awsome.

Happy Days!! (If you need the extra space)Aug 19, 2004
This is an awesome memory card!! But I just ordered a 251 card. Don't worry I think this new cards awesome but, before you buy it think of how many games you have and if you need the extra space! For one I only wanted my own personal card, (Away form my memory thirsty sister) so I don't need to much space. Believe me $10 can go a long way!!
