Info that has not yet been carried onto console' pages, in the event that Talk:Memory Card ends up deleting the entire page and all its contents before such moves have occured.

✓Nintendo 64
✓Nintendo GameCube

☐Maybe find some images of its larger memory cards?

✓Nintendo Wii

☐For WiiWare, I cannot find properly reliable sources for game sizes. Everyone seem to state 83 and 86 blocks respectively due to "I heard it from a friend, who had heard it from a friend."

☐Nintendo DSi
☐Nintendo 3DS
☐I need to find a way to consistently make "Block" a unit worth explaining across consoles, even after a page deletion.
✓Wii U (All but moved previously, but I need to doublecheck Mii Maker and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
✓Nintendo Switch (What would even happen if I took out its SD card?)
✓Massively reduce the contents of "SD card support table".
✓Nintendo-themed SD cards' images, all of which are SDXC microSD intended for Nintendo Switch:

✓Yoshi egg - 64 GB

✓Mushroom/Toad - 128 GB

✓Super Star - 256 GB

✓Spiny Shell (blue) - 400 GB

A Memory Card is a video game accessory that has been a part of many gaming consoles. Essentially, it is an external memory database where game data is saved, including for games of the Super Mario franchise. From Nintendo DSi to Nintendo 3DS, a non-standard measurement unit called a block was used for memory card capacity by Nintendo and in the consoles' system settings. Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS had one block be 128 KB.

SD cards

It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: The section contradicts itself on whether pre-Switch consoles could handle more than 32 GB, e.g. 64 GB. (tagged on May 4, 2024)

Design of an SD card.

SD cards are very common types of storage mediums that Nintendo began using for Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS. They have internal memory where players can save their game data, or even on SD cards, especially in cases where the internal memory runs out of storage. The Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS both natively support SDHC SD cards up to 32GB in memory.

SD card support table

Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS have native support for cards up to 32 GB.

New Nintendo 3DS replaced the standard SD card size with microSD, still with a limit of 32 GB.
