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, you'll need a memory card to save your place in the game, store your preferences and preserve the stats of your sports games etc. This 4 MB memory card is divided into 59 blocks; each game's save files take up a differing amount of memory--usually three to five blocks, but sometimes up to 40.
Manufacturer's Description
The Memory Card 59 is an information storage device used to record information such as game progress, high scores and more. This accessory is required for nearly all Nintendo GameCube games that save game progress. The "59" refers to the number of memory blocks on the card. You can save data from many different games on a single Memory Card.
