Topic: What SD Card do you use in your Wii?

Kingston 2Gb. One in the Wii, one in the DS, one in the camera. I should probably write something on them since I keep getting them muddled up as soon as I take them out to get data onto the PC (Brawl/AC snapshots, Flipnote GIFs), etc).

I've got a 4GB in my PAL Wii and I'm on page 5 - I suspect I'll never need another card for that machine, especially since I'm on page 7 on my Japanese Wii and have a 2GB card with bags of space. I remember in another forum someone did the math and assuming you're not also using the card to store millions of photos or Rockband DLC, given the 20 page limit in the SD card menu you won't be able to use anything bigger than an 8GB card - and that's assuming every last download is the max WiiWare size, which it certainly won't be.

I use Kingston and Sandisk brands if that's important.

Mine's a SanDisk BTW

I can't remember.

SanDisk 4G SDHC. I've only used it for photos on my DSi so far. There will probably come a point where I'll need it for games though. If I ever run out of space on my Wii, I'll probably use it there too. I can't see filling it up completely.

Blue Kingston SD 4GB

I have a PNY optima SDHC 8gb SD card.

I bought a couple of the official 512MB cards when Best Buy was clearing them out, but I also have a 2GB and 4GB that are probably SanDisk (cheap brand, but not the cheapest at Target).

Sandisk Extreme III 2gb sd works great.

2 Wiis? A PAL and Japanese. Sweet!

I'm curious to see how big the downloads will be for Monster Hunter Tri.

After seeing what people posted it looks like 32 GB will be overkill, then again, if the Monster Hunter downloads are huge and other game companies follow suit, 32 GB might be perfect.

Hmmmm. Decisions, decisions.

32 is only overkill if you never do DLC for music games. I do GuitarHero 5 and chances are Rockband 3 will use SDHC as well, so my 16 does fine for now. But between Wiiware, N64 games, a ton of DLC and 8-16 bit games, I kinda need it. BTW, I recommend class 4 or 5. 6 has no big difference in the wii, and a class 2 I once had took forever to load things.

I've actually got three (NA one as well) and that one also has a 2GB miniSD in an adapter (old phone card). I use the 2GB microSD I got for my phone (not realising it came with a 1GB microSD - doh!) with my DSi LL.

I didn't know Monster Hunter Tri had DLC...what is it, extra quests?

3 Wiis. Impressive. This way you don't miss out on ANY game release.

This is the low down I found on the Monster Hunter DLC:

Event Quests

Up to four players can band together online to complete the Event Quests. The Event Quests offer a variety of new challenges on an ongoing basis, cycling monsters of varying difficulty. Aspiring hunters must meet the required hunter rank in order to participate in these quests or work to level up their characters by hunting monsters in either the single player mode or standard online multiplayer mode and attempt to participate when the desired post launch quest appears again. Specialised weapons, including three designed by Capcom’s community members, can only be obtained by participating in Event Quests.

Gigantic Monster Quests

Gigantic Monster Quests, a distinctive event quest, is only available for one day at a time. Pitting players up against the rare and challenging Jhen Mohran, gigantic monster quests find players on a ship as they battle the massive beast, firing cannons to draw the monster close before attacking at closer range with their customised weapons.

Arena Quests

Arena Quests pit two players against solitary monsters in varied coliseums. Hunters work together to take down the massive beasts in either a traditional Monster Hunter style or in a time attack style, offering higher value rewards based on how quickly the monster is defeated.

Thanks for the info on card speeds. I don't download a lot of music but I do down load a lot of VC and WiiWare games. I think a 16 GB class 4 SD Card is going to work for me class 5 if I can find it at a good price.

im using a 2 GB sandisk but am planning to switch to a 16 GB one soon

I've seen that stuff about Monster Hunter Tri, but I still don't see anything indicating it's DLC in any way. Pretty sure it's going to be like Tournaments in Mario Kart.

Sandisk 2GB - The official one.

@sean - kotaku says it will have "DLC" but i think ur right, but it wouldnt hurt if they did give us some DLC would it??

Well, if the new quests can be downloaded for offline play, that would be pretty cool.
