Tiny in many, many ways! June 25, 2002

First thing that'll strike you about the memory card is it's physical size - it's tiny! I've got a PS2 and their memory cards are huge in comparison! Unfortunately, storage capacity is tiny too - 4MB sounds alot, huh? PS2 cards are only 8MB? Well, the Gamecube card is 4 megabits, whilst the PS2 card is 4 megabytes, so the PS2 memory card is actually 16 times more capacitous than that Gamecube one, whilst only being twice the price.
Less of my rambling. I gave the card 3 stars mainly because it's cute - it would have got 2 otherwise! I've only got two games so far - Pikmin takes up 19 blocks of the 59, and Super Monkey Ball takes up 3 blocks. Many more games, and you'll be looking for a new memory card!
Come on Nintendo! Sony and Microsoft have already set the standard with their save game solutions, so why release such a small capacity official card? Expect customers to flock to third party offerings en masse.
