What are the wii memory cards good for? If I'm getting a Wii do I need one? Can it connect to computers? How?

The Wii does not actually have memory cards. It uses SD cards as storage. You can view pictures on your Wii from your SD card. You can also put music on your SD card and listen to it in some games like Excite Truck. You can use the SD card to backup your game save files and any downloaded virtual console games. Any standard SD card will be compatible with the Wii.


The Wii does not connect with computers, it has no networking capability. The Wii does connect to the Internet through wireless. You don't need an SD card to use the Wii or save games. You can take the Wii out of the box and play everything perfectly fine. It has built in storage.

If you get a Wii, you do not need a memory card. Games save on the internal flash memory. As far as I know, there isn't anyway to connect the cards to a computer... like if you want to save game saves to the card and then store the saves on your computer... but I don't have a SD card reader for my computer so I don't know for sure. One cool feature of the Wii though is that if you have a digital camera that uses an SD card, you can get the pictures off of it and send them to your Wii friends... but hey, if you want to do that, you probably already have a SD card for your camera. I'm not really sure what different kinds of SD cards are out there, but if it looks like it will fit in the slot, then it will probably work. You can use the ones Nintendo makes, but Nintendo was nice enough to allow the Wii to use most SD cards, and if your a technophile, you probably have a few of those lying around anyhow.
