The SD Adapter Finally Coming.. Atleast in Japan
 

Well some of you may remember the little device being revealed back with the GameCube in 2000 at SpaceWorld, and it's been almost 3 years with no signs of it, most thought it was dead, but Nintendo has announced it will be released in Japan sometimes in July along with Animal Forest ++ and the American version of the e-card reader in Japan.



Well since it's debut, it looks like the SD Adapter has some changes, it now fits from the side instead of the front and it looks to eb a slighty different design.

That's neat looking. I hope it comes with a nice, small plastic case to contain it when not being used.

So, is the gray thing the part that reads the information and the blue part stores the information. Is it like the the cards you use in a digital camera?

Yes, SD cards can be used in multiple things like cameras, PDAs, and now cube.

Wow, and I thought it would never see the light of day :p

Doesn't matter either way since, surprisingly, my single memory card 59 (or 56 or whatever it is) is enough storage for me... But only because I don't even use my NGC that much...

Ah... nice... I always wondered if this would pull through. :D And all that memory! Not too shabby. :D

Could i save a season on NHL 2003?(59 block) Cuz, that's all i care about really.

I bet we aren't getting Animal Crossing here in Europe!! BAstards!!

*points to freeloader*

hint hint

:unsure:

Don't feel like paying 10 for freeloading.. and 70+ for game... but hell.

Were did you order the US games from??

Wow, they're finally releasing it?

*amazed*

Heh... about time. I'll probably pick this up.

Of course, it all looks rather weedy and extortionate compared to an X-Box HD, (£200 for a 512 Mb card!) but what the hell, perhaps Nintendo have a far wider multimedia stratergy then we give them credit for. E-mailing save files would be a nice bonus, as well as exploiting PC hard drives as memorey depositories.............

Hmm... Before it entered the front of the SD Holder, not the side.... INTERESTING....



lol

A game has to support this so... meehhh it sucks.

And the only game that will support it is Animal Crossing 2 ++ All current games will not support this.

Well, SD cards are huge, perhaps even 50 times as big as GC memory cards.

Tarakan, where did you hear that the game needs to support it?? :(
Oh well, I assume all new games will support it from now on...

If this isn't coming to Europe, I'll import!! Oh wait... if European games don't support it... :doh:

We want Animal Crossing!!! :mad:

Edit: C-E

Using the pc to store gamefiles is great, believe me. I love using the USB memorycard. :D Having stasted this, I , personally, am not so hyped about it. I practically own something that does exactly the same thing. But it´s good to see something like this comming from Nintendo themself.

I'm deprived of the Internet for at least 4 days and I come back seeing some GREAT news! This is something I must have.:D
