What SD Cards are Compatible with Wii?
Wii & Wii mini
Note
- While it is possible to use SD standard or SDHC standard based cards, we cannot guarantee that products other than a licensed SD card will work.
- The Wii mini does not support the use of an SD Card.
- If you have not yet updated your Wii console to Wii Menu 4.0 or higher, then your Wii console is only compatible with SD Cards that are 2 GB (Gigabyte) or less. Cards with a capacity higher than 2 GB will likely not work with the Wii console if it has not been updated to 4.0 or higher.
- If you have updated your Wii console to Wii Menu 4.0 or higher, then your Wii console is compatible with SD Cards that are 2 GB (Gigabyte) or less, and is also compatible with SDHC Cards up to 32 GB. SD Cards with a capacity higher than 2 GB, and SDHC Cards with a capacity higher than 32 GB, will likely not work with the Wii console.
- Cards with a slow speed may experience slow transfer time when loading files, or may not work at all. Slow transfer times can also occur with cards that have a great number of files on them.
- While any SD Card with the above specifications may work, Nintendo has licensed specific SD Cards for use with the Wii console. You can identify these cards by the Nintendo Seal on the packaging of the SD Card. The following are licensed SD Cards and their manufacturers.
