3rd Party or Nintendo Memory Card

I accidentally ordered a 3rd party card and am still deciding if I'm going to keep it. Should I send it back and get a Nintendo one or is the 3rd party card basically the same thing.

Its practically the same item. Although some 3rd party memory cards get stuck in the slot. By the way, what brand is it?

True Memory is the brand. It looks very cheap.

I have a logic3 memory card and it works fine. Plus it doesn't get stuck in the slot. If it looks cheap then I advice you get the Nintendo one or the logic3 memory card. You don't want to break your Wii trying to pull out the memory card out of the slot.

I've got a MAdCatz 1000 block memory card. I can say it fits.

Hope your memory card fits!

No all hold practically the same 8 megabytes of memory.
It's all the same thing besides the name brands.
There's a larger version of the memory card only released by Nintendo though.
If you ordered that, I'd return the 3rd party one. Otherwise there's no problem.

Joytech memory card works really well for Wii GC games, and it goes for like half the price. Hard to beat!

I got a full refund on the card and purchased a Nintendo 64MB card that holds 1019 blocks. I never owned a Gamecube, but bought a Wii and figured I would get caught up on the cheap Gamecube games and then by the time I finish those, the Wii games will be cheaper.

Currently working on Zelda WW (which is awesome) and have Metroid 1 and Paper Mario THousand Year Door in the bullpen. SO I will be busy for a while.

I advice getting a good branded one.
