The Nintendo Memory Card 251 is the largest 1st party memory card offered to Gamecube users. It does a great job with fast saves/loads. I did get a corrupted file once with the game Ikaruga, but other than that the performance has been fine. Unfortunatley 251 blocks isn't enough to save all your settings and season progress in any one sports game...let a lone all the other games you probably play! For example when I bought the awesome Madden 2004, rushed home, popped it in my GC I got a nice big error message saying I wouldn't be able to save all my settings and progress through a season. I also play other sports titles (like FIFA) so the 251 card was NOT cutting it. My solution was to find a 3rd party card with more memory, but a good track record in terms of not corrupting files (some of the large 3rd party ones are known for corrupting often). That really led me to only 1 option: the Nyko 64Mb card allowing over 1000 blocks of data to be saved. After some heavy use it still hasn't corrupted any files and actually loads better than the 251 card! The best part is that the HUGE 64Mb card is the same price as the very tiny 251. Do yourself a favor and just get the Nyko 64Mb.

If you think you don't need a memory card,well you do.Yor not gonna get anywhere if you don't save your games!You might as well just buy this one because it's the bet one out there for gamecube.

It cannot get much simpler than this. Just take it out of the package and plug it in. Nothing to unscrew, unbolt or need an electricians license to do.
We have two in our GameCube, even though one is more than sufficient for the games we have. It also comes in handy when renting a lot of games. If you end up buying a game that you rented, your information is still there. Since they are so cheap, we got an extra one just in case.

The Memory Card 59 was already great, but had so few space that you used to use all of the avaliable space with a few game's files. I had to erase a file every time I bought a new game. But now, Nintendo has finally made what we've wanted!
I bought a Memory Card 251 because I wanted to play The Sims and it was impossible to do it with my Memory Card 59 (The Sims occupies 60 blocks).
This product is just like the Memory Card 59, but it's more beautiful (the 59 is grey, this one is black) and has much more space.
You just can't play with this little acessory. But it now.

As you probably know, Gamecube does not have a hard drive so if you want to save your Gamecube games, then a memory card is a must! But, you probably already knew that.
This is so much better than Nintendo's first memory card, the Memory Card 59 because, obviously, at 251 blocks it's over four times bigger and that means more space to save your data and less memory cards to buy.
Right now I have five Gamecube games and plenty of space on my memory card. Keep in mind though that sports games usually can take up the most memory space.
I always buy first party memory cards because third party cards sometimes lose data. The third party cards that say they are several times bigger than a Nintendo 251 card are especially prone to data loss since they compress so much extra stored imformation on the memory card so something can easily go wrong.
I would say it is definately worth spending the few extra dollars to get the 251 card over the 59 because it's so much bigger and an overall better value.
