Mem. Card 1019
 
Quote:
It seems, almost logically, that as games get better their memory card usage increases. While not always the case a lot of games are now requiring a lot of memory card space.

Originally Nintendo released the Memory Card 251 to counter this, but there are still problems for people with some games. But fret not, Nintendo have a solution.

Nintendo are to release a memory card with 1019 memory card 'blocks' so you can save any game on them. While no official price or release dates have been announced it will probably be shown at E3 and released shortly after, if not before.

I dont care about the source just to let you know ahead of time.

But good thing for Ninty. They need a larger then 251 just because its easy to fill up a 251 now.

Gee golly, maybe they just should have released that in the first place...

Indeed. However, I think the two Interact ones I've had for years should keep me satisfied. They've never failed me yet.

Yeah, it's an 8MB (64Mb) card.

Why didn't Nintendo just do that from the start, then?

Don't say that. They have and DO die. They will die on you. It happened to me, it happened to many others I know. It erks me when people say they have confidence in those pieces of crap..

My 251 is just fine, if they offer to exchange it for the 1019 for absolute free though I'll go ahead and do it.

My card is doing fine for me now. I haven't filled it up and it hasn't crashed on me. Of course, I've only had it for about 9 months.

Actually it was a manufacturing error. If your cards don't screw up on you within a month or so, they generally never will. Seriously. Interact acknowledged that there was a problem, but also stated that about half of the cards they made around the time of the problem don't have any issues. I seem to be one of the lucky.

That's not to say I don't back up my most precious of saves on an official card. But I've never had any problems and I don't expect to.

Nah, mine died on me after a year. Right before Christmas, too. That's not a happy feeling. I couldn't save Mario Kart for 5 days until I got another card.

Alright that just isnt true. Ive had my Interact Mega memory card for almost 2 years and ive never had any problems whatsoever. As ive stated countless times around here, best 30 bucks ive ever spent. Now im not saying some of you havent had problems, im just saying that I never have, and therefore have no reason to believe that there is anything wrong with Interact's cards. So dont say that they ALWAYS die because obviously this just isnt the case.

Give me a ring in ten years. If your memory card still works, then go on praising third party memory cards. You will be until one dies on you. :p

Ive never trused thrid party memory cards or controlers since my buddie had a thrid party controler blow the first port on his N64 and no one would help nintendo told him "too bad" and the thrid party devoper told him the same thing. At least when its the consule makers stuff thell do something about it....maby
