Get ready to have your mind blown by the very best GameCube Memory Cards on the market…
… did I successfully sell that to you, or did it come across as sarcastic?
The truth is, there isn’t exactly anything sexy about memory cards, but if you want to play the best GameCube Games, you’ll need one if you want to save your progress.
Plus, you’ll kick yourself if you forget to use one, so make sure you have at least one to hand if you’re embarking on a GameCube adventure for the first time.
You see, GameCube games require a certain number of blocks to make a save file. That’s why I’ve been super helpful and included how many blocks each of the memory cards below holds as well as their MB size.
Don’t think that this is me being charitable; I’m just bumping up my word count…
Right, let’s get it over with then. Check out the best GameCube Memory Cards below… just try to contain your excitement.
1. Marbe 1024MB Gamecube Memory Card 16,344 Blocks

It’s not often we start these lists with a third-party product, but this Marbe 1024MB Gamecube Memory Card 16,344 Blocks unit is so big that you won’t ever need another card ever again!
With 16,344 blocks, you could fit NFL 2K3 on there 291 times as opposed to once on the original card!
With a clear yellow shell, this memory card looks nice and is simple to plug in and play.
Load save date on the Wii or your GameCube, and if there are any problems, just contact Marbe for a refund!
2. 2MB Official GameCube Memory Card Black 251 Blocks

This Official GameCube Memory Card Black 251 Blocks was the beauty that I had all of my games saved on as a kid.
Ok, so I started with the grey one like we all did and moved up to this, but I had all of the greats on here.
Yep, without this bad boy, I wouldn’t be able to go back and play all of the Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour courses and jump straight into Bowser’s Board on Mario Party 4.
Can you believe that a 2MB memory card brought so much excitement back in the day when we now have SD cards that can hold 1TB data!
3. 512MB VOYEE GameCube Memory Card 8,192 Blocks

Anyone looking for a high capacity card for storing NGC save data won’t go far wrong with this 512MB VOYEE GameCube Memory Card 8,192 Blocks.
Compatible with the GameCube and for loading saves on the Wii, this card has an impressive storage capacity and can easily cope with games that gobble up more blocks than I gobble pizza at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
We’re talking titles like Animal Crossing that need 57 blocks; you’d only have 2 blocks left over on the original light grey memory card!
4. 8MB Offifcial GameCube Memory Card White 1,019 Blocks

Next up in our best GameCube Memory Cards compendium is the 8MB Official GameCube Memory Card White 1,019 Blocks.
Once the excitement of the black card wore off and we decided we needed even more memory, we moved onto this little white number.
At 8MB with 1019 blocks available, this was the largest memory card that Nintendo officially produced.
If you’re looking for that Nintendo seal of quality, then you can’t go wrong with this one!
5. 512KB Official GameCube Memory Card Light Grey 59 Blocks

Of course, we couldn’t have a list of the best GameCube Memory Cards without talking about the cheeky chappy that started off the whole scene.
Make way for the 512KB Official GameCube Memory Card Light Grey 59 Blocks unit, something that, although pitiful in 2022, is still a nostalgic reminder of the glory days.
These cards get filled up pretty quickly, but they can be picked up for pretty cheap on eBay these days.
And although original isn’t always best, there’s something nice about grabbing this original card out of the box and slotting it into the GameCube once more.
It’s authentic and reliable, just like all of Nintendo’s products. What more could a person want… apart from more memory?
