Editorials   MemoryCube 59 Reviewed!
- By Mike Ryan [Senior Editor]





Another memory card for the Nintendo GameCube is out via Mad Catz. MemoryCube 59 gives you, the gamer, a place to store all your levels, high scores, etc., with no problems. At least I haven’t had any problems thus far. I can say that it saves and transfers data easily, which is more than I can say for my official Memory Card 59. Long story short, one day I had everything unlocked on Super Smash Brothers: Melee, saved on my official Nintendo memory card. The next day, the data was gone. Needless to say, I was a tad disturbed. So in my book, the MemoryCube 59 works better than Nintendo’s official Memory Card 59.

You get the memory card (duh!) and a handy-dandy carrying case, that looks surprisingly similar to the GameCube – that is, if were a GameRectangle. I suppose Mad Catz gave the memory card its own case, seeing that it is too long to fit in the built-in memory card holder we see on every GameCube game. So if you plan on taking your encased MemoryCube out in the rain, you should have no worries if it falls in a puddle. I also must give props to Mad Catz for making this carrying case compatible for the Nintendo official memory card (whether intentional or not).

The downside, like almost every other memory card, is the lack of storage space. It holds the same amount of memory as any other “59” card out there, so if you have a ton o’ games, you may want to opt for the 4-or-8x memory cards. But if a few games are all you own, the MemoryCube 59 should suit you right.
