Amazon.com 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 of yore, you'll need this accessory to save your place in the game, store your preferences, and preserve the stats of your sports games. The GameCube Memory Card 59 is really small--about the size and weight of a poker chip--and comes with 4 MB flash memory (divided into 59 blocks, hence the name), which should be enough to get you started. If you want to archive all your games for posterity, though, you're going to need more than one.

Rating: - Great starting memory card
This memory card can not hold that many games. I only recommend this memory card for people whom just got a Gamecube or only have a few games.
Rating: - good
Are memory cards supposed to be fun? I only got it for playing GC games on my Wii, and I'm glad to say that it works great, very fast saving, and small.
Rating: - It works for Wii, but Based on the size is a Ripped OFF!!
To see how ripped off Nintendo is, let's do a simple conversion math.
The goal is to find a 59 Blocks card has how many Mega Byte or Kilo Byte?
Let us do some calculation
8 Bit = 1 Byte
1 Mega Bit or Byte = 1024 Kilo Bit or Byte
How much is nintendo charging? $9.00
How large is Playstation 2 card?
8 Mega Byte = 64 Mbit = 59 blocks *64/4 = 944 Blocks
How much are we paying for 512 MByte SD, Compact Flash, or Memory Stick?
Around $8.00 or even Free.
And who wants 512MB cards these days?
Not a lot of people.
Lets use the $8.00 = 512MB = 60416 Blocks as of today's standard. That means 59 blocks should be only $1.32415e-4 = $0.0001324
Wow so Nintendo is actually making 755101% profit by charging at $1.00.

Rating: - Good memory card, but small in size
HI, i purchased this card for just a test, and it's working fine, however if you will purchase games like Hitman 2, the saved games will completely eat it. It uses a lot of space.
