Product Description

Product Description
The GameCube, like the PlayStation and Dreamcast before it, gets its game data from unwriteable disc media, so, unlike Nintendo's cartridge-based games of yore, you'll need this accessory to save your place in the game, store your preferences, and preserve the stats of your sports games etc. The official GameCube 251 Slot Memory Card is really small--about the size and weight of a poker chip--and is divided into 251 blocks; each game's save files take up a differing amount of memory--usually three to five, but sometimes up to 40 blocks--so this should be enough to save information for at least twenty or thirty different games.

Manufacturer's Description
The Memory Card 251 can store 251 "blocks" of information - more than four times the capacity of the Memory Card 59. Memory Cards are required for nearly all Nintendo GameCube games that save game progress.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nintendo 251 Memory Card, 24 Sep 2002
By A Customer
Finally a large and reliable memory card for the Gamecube. The Nintendo 251 memory card will last for ages, having the capacity to fit loads of saved games onto it, as opposed to the other official card from Nintendo that has a mere 59 blocks and could only store about 5-6 saved games.

The 251 card is excellent value for money by comparison. It is not as big as some of the other 3rd party cards on offer, but as it is an official card from Nintendo, so you know its will never fail, and you will not lose any of your precious saved games. This new official card renders the old Nintendo 59 memory card almost useless, offering over four time as much storage space at an almost identical price.

My only criticism is that this was not the card originally released with the Gamecube.

An essential purchase for the Nintendo Gamecube.

5.0 out of 5 stars Save your mega memory munchers in piece of mind..., 23 Feb 2004
The GameCube Memory Card 251 from Nintendo is an essential for any GameCube owner, as it will store plenty of game saves, over four times as many as the Memory Card 59.

It's also necessary to purchase one for mega memory munching games such as Madden NFL 2004 (185 blocks of memory) The Sims: Bustin' Out (161 blocks), Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (59 blocks), V-Rally 3 (up to 158 blocks) and various other titles.

As these are official memory cards, they are more reliable than third-party memory cards, so you can rest with the peace of mind that your game saves are perfectly safe.

So much your money's worth that I have two! May have to buy another for the next crop of games...

5.0 out of 5 stars Avoid third-party memory cards, 27 Sep 2005
All I can say is only purchase official Nintendo memory cards. I was unfortunate enough to have a third party card, and lost all my data after about 20 hours gameplay. I wasn't too pleased when I had to repeat it all over again. The official cards never go wrong, but in my experience it is the norm for unofficial cards to become corrupted. If you want to spend less on an unofficial card, go ahead, but one day you will lose all your data and wish you had taken Nintendo's advice.
BTW. I believe the card with 1019 blocks of memory wasn't released in the UK as there was a problem with it. Best to go for the 251 block version.
