My WII Play

I play Gamecube games on my Wii, but I can’t save them. What kind of memory card do I need? Also I have a lot of virtual console games and need more space to save them. What kind of memory card do I need for that?

GameCube games get saved on GameCube Memory Cards. There are two slots for them next to the GameCube controller ports. You can buy them anywhere that sells video games. (Though they may be harder to find now that the GameCube isn’t as available.)

For Virtual Console games, you can move them from your Wii to a regular SD card. They are pretty cheap and you can find them an most major stores. They’ll probably be in the Camera aisle. They are just called SD cards. Here’s what they look like:

Note, you can move Virtual Console games to the SD card, but you can not play them from the SD card. So you will have to move them back to the Wii to play them again. And you cannot move them to a friend’s console. They only work on the console they were downloaded on.
