Wii SD Memory Cards - What's That All About?

The Wii has a 512MB internal memory for the saving of games, so why on earth would you want up-to a 2GB SD Memory Card for it as well?

I still haven't worked out the answer to this one, other than putting on specific types of Photos, a few MP3s and certain video files I can't really see that a memory card for you Wii is much use?

It's a console, so why would you want to put your photos on it??? I can kind of understand the MP3s as some games that are coming out later in the year will be able to read your MP3s and have them as the background music in the game.

It is not possible to directly save your games to an SD card. All your saves go directly on to the internal memory.

You can copy your saved games to it though and take it round a mates house to continue playing (or to show them a new level etc). But as you can only have one of each saved game you have to copy your mates saved game to another memory stick first, then delete the one on the system and then copy yours across and when you have finished you have to reverse the whole process!!!

A lot of needless messing about if you ask me... One important thing I need to point out is that you don't have to buy a Wii branded SD card. A standard SD card will do. The Wii supports a maximum size of 2GB so don't get any bigger than that as it wont work!

So all in all, no real need to rush out and buy an SD card for your Wii. Though I'm sure in time when Nintendo release new updates for the Wii in the future, a good use may be found, we shall have to wait and see...
