DS Hands On Impressions!!

Actually, I've seen SD memory cards up to 1 or 2 gigs in size. That's more than plenty for a DS game, considering all the N64 games weren't even close to that size (max isn't even over 100 mb, I think).

I thought there was a 512 + mb games?

BUT we are talking Megabits, not bytes... eh?

If thats the case, why wouldn't Nintendo go with a cart that big? Besides the obvious cost issue, why not?
 
Mortal Kombat 4, Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, I think Perfect Dark.... and a few others hit 512 Mb
But like I said.... I think thats because the carts are measured in megabits not megabytes :)

DS games are nicely priced too :) $30-40. I can eat that on a handheld game.

BV, I don't know. Those filesizes were posted on ROM sites (I didn't download anything, don't worry), so I'm not sure how accurate they were.
