The SD Adapter Finally Coming.. Atleast in Japan

BreakABone · 04-29-2003, 10:58 PM

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

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.

And all that memory! Not too shabby.

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

Were did you order the US games from??

BlueFire · 04-30-2003, 02:56 PM

Wow, they're finally releasing it?

*amazed*

Crono · 04-30-2003, 03:22 PM

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

Idiot · 04-30-2003, 04:03 PM

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.............

Joeiss · 04-30-2003, 04:20 PM

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

lol

tarakan69 · 04-30-2003, 05:10 PM

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...

We want Animal Crossing!!!

The SD Memory Card can be plugged into a PC allowing people to send game data to each other or download special events, possibly used in Phantasy Star Online. The first announced product will be Animal Crossing e+ which will allow users to email data to each other and also take pictures with their PC.
