There's something about the Nintendo Wii that bothers me a little. Every other system Nintendo has made has had an officially branded memory card. The Gamecube, the N64's Controller Pak, and before that it was directly on the cartridge.
The Wii has a slot for SD memory cards, but Nintendo doesn't make one, thus we're forced to go with a third-party solution for storage! This makes me a little uncomfortable that we'll be stuck with inferior quality.
I'm concerned that they "sold out" by going with an SD card slot, basically saying "Meh, we don't care about the quality, we'll just use the standard computer stuff that we don't monitor quality on, and let people use whatever they've got laying around."
I suppose this just bothers me more than it bothers other people, because up to now, I've never had to consider using a third-party product with my Nintendo system. I feel very concerned that SanDisk's third-party storage solution won't live up to the high standards I've come to expect from Nintendo products.
Is no one else bothered by this? How safe do you think our saved games are on these things?
