Forums - Nintendo Discussion - looking to upgrade my sd card for my Wii

doom102575 on 14 April 2008
Anyone know if there are some higher capacity cards that definitely work for the Wii? I have a 2gb but I was looking to upgrade to a 4-8gb card but not sure if the Wii can handle it. On the website it states some higher capacity card may not work this is why I am asking here to find out if there is anyone uses larger here so I know what brand will definitely work.

I don't think that anything above 2gb works with the Wii. It simply doesn't support SDHC (SD High Capacity). You could try I suppose, but will probably just be wasting your money.

yeah, its true, the wii doesn't support any SD card higher than 2 GB, what I would do is buy more 1 or 2 GB SD cards to fit all the memory.
